   Go to your local hobby store they will have molding plaster. It's cheap. If you want large quantities you can get it from some of the lumber yards I think it's called No. 1 plaster.

   Your local lumber yard should cary plaster. I get it at Menards for $9 per 25# bag.
   Hobby stores usually cary it in smaller quantities but you'll pay more.

   I finally found a lumber yard here that knew what I was looking for. 25# for $12.00.
   
   Lowes and Home Depot had no clue what plaster in a powder form was. They didn't think anyone could get it. Go figure!!
