If cast out of plaster how can they be adhered to interior wall substrate? Is there a way to seal plaster ones to keep out moisture?

The mold manufacturing company has information about sealing your finished product. http://www.themoldstore.info/Sealing_Concrete.html

If the gap is between the plaster and the concrete, my suggestion would be to cut a section of plaster out, and put 2x4s or a solid surface, anchored with "red heads" concrete anchors. Then install the kit to the 2x4s. Use lag bolts. Pre drill the holes to avoid splitting the wood. The mount should cover the 2x4s, so you won't see them.

Best way to answer this is what surface are you using it against...I stored wine and shot glasses in mine, used sheet rock screws , right thru the wall studs...very easy to level and hang, I would only caution if you are going against sheet rock or plaster and can't locate the studs buy an anchor kit....

Yes it will as long as you seal the plaster with an acrylic spray or even a release agent like Mann's Ease Release 200. Some folks use one part dish soap to two parts isopropyl alcohol to make a simple release agent for silicone casting into plaster molds. Apply sparingly and allow to dry before casting. If in doubt, test on a non critical part of your mold, like a seam line to ensure it will cure.

Great product,would apply with contact cement . I had refinished cabinets and the time and work was worth it.YouTube has some good video of the process. Good luck.

Mine worked great but our walls aren't plaster. I think it would work if you made sure to find the wall studs and then drilled carefully into those. Can't hammer into plaster you must drill the hole and then use those little plastic plugs then screw into that.

We have sheet rock. I would go with responses from customers who have plaster for the best advice.

I have plaster walls and it does seems to remove very easily. Mine seems to be holding up fine.

Nope, barely goes into plasterboard so will be a nightmare going into wood. use a good ol screw or nail instead or better still those little screw in hooks.

You probably didn't clean off the wall in prep. Sandy flat paint can prevent adhesion. You can leave it off to dry, lay them on a cardboard once dry, and spray with contact adhesive. It won't be removable anymore though.

Get yourself a Loctite ( I used the PL 375 Heavy Duty ) all purpose adhesive tube from any Home Depot or Loew's and get a caulking gun, pop the tube in it and apply to the back of each foam square. Press them on the wall or where ever you want them to go. Cheers!

I applied these on the walls inside of a closet and most of them have stayed fine. A few keep falling. I would just make sure the walls are clean and dry first and try not to touch the sticky back of the tiles. Hope this helps!

a good wood glue like Titebond. I used a waterproof wood glue simply because that is what I had. It helps if you have several bar clamps!

I use a paint that has primer in the paint so I don't have to paint the wall twice. I use Lowe's primer and paint in one and have had zero problems. No mold and no loose paper. If you think about it when you hang the wallpaper there is already water utilized, so mold would form either way primer or not.

I had wall studs exposed, so I mounted a 2x6 between the studs before sheetrock to give it something strong to hang on.After all sheetrock and paint done I just mounted brackets on wall w screws into that board. Culk and the plyming keeps it from moving around. Another option would be lag bolts w washer.I to found the brackets hard to understand, more the casting on the sink fault though. Just remember people, kids, have a tendancybto lean or rest on sinks.. so make the mount strong.Love the sink, works great!

I haven't done that yet... I was going to use this in a room where I record a weekly radio program, but just learned that the building where our offices are is being sold, so I didn't want to attach them to the wall in any permanent fashion until I know for sure what's happening. I am not sure how I would do it either... I considered staples, but that wouldn't be good long term... maybe some type of spray glue? If you come up with a good solution, please let me know! Thanks.

This is a question best answered by the manufacturer. Your question implies that you might have dry wall covering concrete walls. This seal is not intended to be applied to dry wall. painted or not. It is best applied to untreated, unpainted concrete. Contact the manufacturer directly to confirm this.
