Andrew, I have had no end of trouble trying to shape the Shaper Sheet. The mountain that I was trying to form refused to comply. I am now awaiting the Plaster Cloth in hopes that will work. Best, Helen

No supports are needed with Shaper Sheet™ Plaster, but that would be a choice for the modeler. The more you shape the Shaper Sheet, the stronger it is. You can also apply Shaper Sheet Plaster for more strength and more hardness factor.

Hello! Put the Shaper Sheet Plaster in a sealed plastic bag and place the sealed bag in a tightly sealed, non-breakable container. It is important to keep moisture away from the product.

For creating a sand dune, Shaper Sheet will work well to form the base shape of the dune. You can use Shaper Sheet Plaster to lock the shape of the Shaper Sheet into place. To get the coloration of the sand dune, you can try appling Mold-A-Scene Plaster over the Shaper Sheet Plaster. Be sure to wet the Shaper Sheet Plaster before applying the Mold-A-Scene, or it might absorb all of the moisture and prevent the Mold-A-Scene from curing properly. You can also apply the wet Mold-A-Scene to Shaper Sheet Plaster while it is drying to partially mix them together. We recommend mixing a few small batches to test a few different ways of applying Mold-A-Scene over Shaper Sheet and find what works best for you. Fine Ballast and Fine Talus can also be applied on top of the Shaper Sheet Plaster and Mold-A-Scene to create the sand dune. We hope this helps!

@@ModelSceneryExpert Thanks, appreciate the info.

wrllovemen Hello! Shaper Sheet will bond with ANY type of plaster material. So, yes, you can use the casting plaster, which I am assuming is Lightweight Hydrocal, which is used for casting rocks. The Lightweight Hydrocal will be just a bit softer than the Shaper Sheet Plaster, but will still create a permanent, hard shell you can then color with pigment and landscape. Shaper Sheet Plaster also has an extended working time, so since the Lightweight Hydrocal will set faster, you will want to mix smaller batches when applying it to the Shaper Sheet, so it will not prematurely set up in your bowl. Hope this helps!

***** alright!

We recommend the following for wood surfaces. We do not have any specific information for canvas, but this method should work for that as well depending on the material. A quick and easy method is to use our Low Temp Foam Glue. The bond between the glue and the foil backing on the Shaper Sheet is not overly durable, but they will adhere together well enough. After Shaper Sheet Plaster has been applied tot he Shaper Sheet, it will be firmly locked in place. If the bond between the foil backing and the Low Temp Foam Glue is a concern, sand the foil lightly with fine-grade sandpaper to give it some tooth before applying the glue.

That is our Earth Undercoat. Here's a link: woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/C1229/page/1

Hi Amit: Shaper Sheet is a pliable sheet that can be shaped and reshaped to create any level of detail and hold its form. This material is formulated to mechanically bond with the plaster to create a thin, hard shell ready for landscaping. If you feel this is not durable enough, you can put a coat of Shaper Sheet Plaster for more durability.

You can use Shaper Sheet as a base for a water feature made with our products. Plaster Cloth helps give Shaper Sheet strength for more support, but it should be good without it.

Shaper Sheet Plaster was specifically designed to work with Shaper Sheet. We have not tested Sculptamold and cannot give any comment to whether it would work or not. You could test their compatibility on a small section or extra piece before committing to it completely, if that is an available option.

This video was made with our Blended Turf. You can find it here: woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/BlendedTurf

+Paul Spray A quick and easy method is to use Low Temp Foam Glue (ST1445, ST1446). The bond between the glue and the foil backing on the Shaper Sheet is not overly durable, but they will adhere together well enough. After Shaper Sheet Plaster (C1182) has been applied to the Shaper Sheet (C1178, C1179), it will be firmly locked in place. We have not tested this method using PVA glue, however, it may work similarly. If the bond between the foil backing and the Low Temp Foam Glue (or PVA glue) is a concern, sand the foil lightly with fine-grade sandpaper to give it some tooth before applying the glue. Keep in mind that it is not a good idea to use PVA glue if you plan on modeling a water area with Realistic Water. PVA glue causes adverse effects to Realistic Water. Thank you for your interest, keep on modeling!

Woodland Scenics so nice

We do not model directly on foam. Once the Sub-Terrain is built using our foam products, we cover our complete layout with Shaper Sheet and Shaper Sheet Plaster or use Plaster Cloth. The choice between Plaster Cloth and Shaper Sheet with Shaper Sheet Plaster is entirely up to the modeler.

When Shaper Sheet is coated with Shaper Sheet Plaster, it creates a hard terrain shell that can bear the weight of resin buildings. You can use hot glue to fix the Shaper Sheet to a wood base, but you will need to sand the shaper foil side of the piece and the layout base so the hot glue will have some tooth to grab onto. You can also use Foam Tack Glue to attach the Shaper Sheet to the layout base. We recommend using Foam Tack Glue if the Shaper Sheet will be attached vertically for a stronger bond. When using Foam Tack Glue, be sure to sand both surfaces (shaper foil and layout base), as well, to encourage adhesion.

@@ModelSceneryExpert thankyou for the great advice👍

Yes, you can apply Plaster Cloth over Shaper Sheet. Before applying Plaster Cloth to Shaper Sheet, spray down the Shaper Sheet with water to ensure good adhesion. Dip a strip of Plaster Cloth in cold water and apply to the surface bumpy side up. With wet fingers, smooth and spread the plaster bumps until holes the in the Plaster Cloth are filled in. You will want to work efficiently, because plaster sets quickly. Hope this helps! Happy Modeling!

Hi...The two trees on the right are Basswood (TR1618) from our line of Premium Trees. Hope this helps!

***** Thanks. They are quality looking. :)

***** I'm not sure, but you might. You can always order it online. :)

***** Hello Brayan...I think I answered you through KZfaq, but if not, I apologize...Plaster Cloth is not available at Michaels, but Hobby Lobby carries it, as will most local hobby shops that sell model railroad and gaming supplies. Hope this helps!

Hello! Shaper Sheet is designed to form your terrain, apply Shaper Sheet Plaster to create the hard shell and then finish with landscape material applied to the dry plaster. You can form Shaper Sheet over existing terrain with landscape, and/or used to expand an existing layout. How you attach the Shaper Sheet depends on your layout. We would love to help you, but I think we need additional information plus maybe a photo or two of your existing layout. If our answer did provide all the information you are looking for, please send a couple of photos to our Sales and Customer Service Department at sales@woodlandscenics.com. They will work with our modelers in our Product Development department to help you in any way we can. Just let them know you are intercity3000 from KZfaq requesting further assistance. We are delighted to help! Thanks!

wow thanks for the response your so nice! i will send pictures using my email which is jackjmcinnes@hotmail.co.uk cheers

***** Great...we'll be looking for you email. :-)

Any of our plaster-based products will work with Shaper Sheet to create a hard shell but deliver varying degrees of hardness. You can view a reference plaster chart on our website for details. We recommend Shaper Sheet Plaster (C1180) because it has an extended working time and hardness factor. The extended time allows you more time to apply the plaster. Typical plaster working time is around 5 minutes, while Shaper Sheet Plaster has approximately 20 minutes. The Shaper Sheet should not be difficult to separate, but, occasionally, there can be stubborn pieces. Try taking something with a hard, flat edge and placing it at the corner on the foil side. Pull it backwards from the corner, putting pressure as you're doing so. This can help get the Shaper Sheet to fold back when it is harder to do so. If this still does not work, contact our Sales and Customer Service at 1-573-346-5555 for further assistance. You can also follow the link woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/information/ContactUs to send an email.

Oscar Wang Hello Oscar, The first layer of turf is Blended Fine Turf. We don't show all of the steps to how Kim landscaped the mountainside, because the video focus was how to work with Shaper Sheet. If you are interested in seeing the complete process, you can watch the following video. Thanks for your interest! Easily Model Realistic Ground Cover - Model Scenery | Woodland Scenics

Can you tell us more about your project? What are you trying to make? What epoxy are you using?

Hello! Plaster Cloth can be applied onto Shaper Sheet as well as Shaper Sheet Plaster to create a hard shell surface. Before applying Plaster Cloth, spray Shaper Sheet with water to ensure good adhesion. Yes, you may cut the Shaper Sheet when the material has hardened with a hack saw. Thank you for your interest in our products!

That is our Green Blend - Blended Turf. Then any added shades are varying Fine or Coarse Turfs. woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/item/BT-GB woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/FineTurf woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/CoarseTurf

Shaper Sheet Plaster is more of a cream color because it is more dense than Lightweight Hydrocal. The cream color will fade a bit once it is completely dry. However, it will not dry to a very bright white like Lightweight Hydrocal. The difference may look drastic right now, but when all the plaster is colored and landscaping materials are added, it will likely be unnoticeable.

@@ModelSceneryExpert Currently I’m trying to find the right color for my mountain top (plaster cloth covered with Hydrocal plaster) and other peaks. They won’t have foliage on them so the color will be “naked”. Can you suggest earth color combinations for a granite color for my peaks? I’ve looked at Grand Tetons and Kenai in Alaska. I’ve tried white at 16:1 combined with a few dabs of slate grey, but it turns out too grey. I’ve also used that with a few dabs of burnt umber to add a bit of brown and red. I like that but it’s still not “right”. Note that I’m happy with a white with dabs of stone grey for my lower elevations (turns out a nice light green). Any suggestions will be appreciated!

It sounds like you are heading in the right direction with your colors. We would suggest that you mix several spray bottles with different pigments from our Earth Colors Liquid Pigments and use them in layers. Spray in layers starting with the lighter colors first and letting them dry some before adding the next layer. Allow the previous layer to show through and even blotting with paper towels or sponge if necessary. The colors we suggest are; Stone Gray, Slate Gray, Concrete, Raw Umber, and Burnt Umber.

Hello! Yes, it is possible! There are two ways to add rocks to Shaper Sheet. The first option is the Plaster Cloth method. Test fit the rock castings on your layout. You may need to cut into the Plaster Cloth terrain with a hobby knife in order for rocks to fit nicely. Soak rock in water for 10 seconds and wet the area where the rock will be placed. Wad a strip of wet Plaster Cloth and place on the backside of the rock, then press in place. Hold until setting begins. Apply wet Plaster Cloth strips around edges of rock to hide gaps. Poke and smooth wet with your fintertips. The other method you can use is to attach the rock to the Shaper Sheet with an extra amount of Shaper Sheet Plaster. The rock needs to be wet. Soak the rock in water for at least one minute, and brush on Shaper Sheet Plaster to the area on the Shaper Sheet where you want the rock. Press the rock into place and adjust as desired. It is best to plan where Rocks will go ahead of time. (If you don't plan ahead, you may have to make cuts in the Shaper Sheet or add extra plaster and that will take longer.)I hope that helps! Happy modeling!

Thanks for replying! I will definitely try the plaster cloth method.

You can form the Shaper Sheet that way. Once Shaper Sheet Plaster is applied to the Shaper Sheet, it becomes quite firm. It will bear the weight of a building. However, if the weight is particularly substantial, we recommend putting a couple foam supports beneath the center of the plateau for extra support.

Oscar Wang The Scenic Sprayer is a product in and of itself (S192) The spray head fits the Scenic Cement bottle. For this application, Kim filled the sprayer with water. The water wets the Shaper Sheet fiber, helping the wet Plaster form the mechanical bond needed to make the hard shell. Hope this helps!

***** Thank you so much for your response! I have purchased many of your products just yesterday and I have one last question. The second time Kim used the scenic spray was after she applied to turf to the Shaper Sheet. Did it still contain water? And what would scenic cement do if we used it instead of water? Thanks! :)

Ah Yes...now I see the confusion...so sorry about that...seems we didn't even consider that the Scenic Sprayer doing double duty would confuse viewers! Our apologies! Kim sprayed with water on the Shaper Sheet. The sprayer contained Scenic Cement when she was applying landscape materials! Hope this clears it up and Happy Modeling! If you are inclined to share...we'd love to see some photos of your project. You can send them to marketing@woodlandscenics.com or post them to our Facebook page! Thanks!

Will do. Thanks for the prompt response. @@ModelSceneryExpert

Before adding the Shaper Sheet it was misted with water on the Scenic Sprayer. Scenic Cement was used to attach landscaping (trees & shrubs).

You can use a glue gun or Foam Tack Glue to attach Shaper Sheet to cork. As the Shaper Sheet foil is very smooth, it needs a little tooth to encourage adhesion. Use 80 or 150-grit sandpaper to roughen the shaper foil before applying the glue. If using Foam Tack Glue, we recommend using the contact adhesion method for the best results. Apply Foam Tack Glue to both the cork and the roughened shaper foil. Let dry until clear and tacky (maximum working time is 1 hour) then press the shaper foil to the cork. The glue will bond instantly.

Some Shaper Sheet is harder than others to peel apart, but the gauze and aluminum foil is not permanently adhered. Try turning the Shaper Sheet upside down with the aluminum side up. Use a flat, firm object and put pressure at one of the corner edges. Slowly rub the object across the aluminum, back toward you. It should start to slowly crumple the aluminum up and peel the it away from the gauze. If you still have issues, contact Customer Service directly at 1 573-346-5555 .

Idk why in videos when people are giving verbal instructions that they put any music during talking. Lot do it unfortunately. Distracting. I like the video a lot aside from that.
