Plaster Mouldings - DIY!
 

If you are looking to add a touch of elegance and style to your own surroundings - how about fabricating and installing your own decorative plaster accents.

I have found architectural rubber moulds that are available for ceiling medallions, cornices, pillars and more.

If you're not sure how, don't worry, your rubber moulds will come complete with an instructional dvd that will guide you every step of the way.

You can even take this do it yourself project and turn it into a part time business that you can run out of your own home, in your spare time and whenever you want!

Rubber moulds are one way to do it, though running plaster in situ is
a more logical approach in most cases, and is how it was mostly done
in the Victorian days of fancy cornicing.

But the idea that anyone could make a business out of it is laughable.

Weren't there garden gnome and statue moulds sold in the 1980s with the
same idea?

Owain

Yes. They pour concrete in them now and sell them in the town centre.

Those are saleable though. Hand made plaster cornice, at the sort of
steep prices one has to charge for the amount of labour that goes into
it, occupies a market size of approximately zero. And rubber casting
the cornice wipes out much of the potential market, as the kind of
houses it suits routinely have less than flat walls, just one of the
reasons running in situ was popular in Vic times.

My brother-out-law used to work for a firm of fibrous plaster
suppliers. They did make a business out of it (but each mold was a
bespoke item for a specific customer job).

He did DIY his cornices, but not in situ - he molded them on a bench,
then lifted them in place after they set.

His bathroom was pretty impressive too - it looked a bit like
something from the Alamabra Palace (seconds from a job for an Arab
Embassy I think).

I'm not sure what the walls have to do with the potential market, but the market is there. My husband and I are producing genuine plaster cornices for $.45 Canadian per foot and enjoy a profit of ten times that. As for the less than flat walls - the plaster mouldings can be fitted in wet.

There are many plaster moulding companies across Canada, the UK and the US. They are in business because they are making money.

We did make a business out of this and we are laughing ... all the way to the bank!
