This is also a common process in Investment casting for lost wax. The term
Lutto is applied to the mixture and it is commonly saved and reworked by
running it through a sieve and then used again in the next investment.
There is a great deal we could re-learn from the foundry area.
Does any one remember the experiments in Glen Nelson's text regarding
PLASTER CLAY? They work! It is possible to mix plaster and clay together
and cast an object which sets in minutes. I am sure this process was
derived from metal casters playing with fire clay. plaster and sand.

Okay I have two different editions of the Nelson book and can't find this info
anywhere(I liked some of the ilustrations so decided to keep the older one)
looked under plaster, plaster clay, and under clay body recipes. what I would
like to know is this a process to cast nonfunctional objects or is this a process
to make molds, or both?
