Kaftan (Ottoman Robe) Plaster Mold (R11881)

Kaftan (Ottoman Robe) Plaster Mold

This professional 1 piece plaster mold is designed for producing high quality ceramic or porcelain wall plaques featuring the traditional Kaftan design. Specially optimized for the press method (hand pressing), it allows for rapid and efficient production of Ottoman themed decorative art. The final product features a flat back, making it perfectly suitable for wall mounting and traditional decor projects.

• Apply wedged or vacuumed clay by pressing and firming it into the mold by hand.
• This "press and tap" method provides the fastest production cycle for traditional Ottoman motifs.

• Compatible with liquid casting slips, though the process takes longer than the hand pressing method.
• Ensure the clay is prepared 1 day in advance for ideal consistency.

Minor surface imperfections or chips on the external edges of the plaster do not affect the quality of the cast as long as the interior surface remains smooth and intact.

• New Molds: If the mold arrives wet, wait 1 to 2 days for it to dry naturally before use.
• Maintenance: Using the mold at the correct moisture level ensures the best results for your bisque production.
