When I did it I made up play dough using flour, water and salt. It did stick in the plaster a bit. I had to scrape out some of it with a knife. Basically I had to take off a thin layer of plaster from quite a bit of the chambers. I think your nest looks really good btw. Are you going to sit it in somethin to enable it to soak up water you add?

lol well its a serious failed attempt anyway.. its like totally stuck inside the tank i poured it into lol.. and it did dissolve some of the plastercine i used to model the chambers.. I think il give plaster a miss all-together.. I much prefer ytong anyways lol

ha i had that problem i could never work out good way to get the plaster out, i found plaster a bit hap-hazard, i never had a problem with mould or tunnelling though, (ligniperda not good diggers i guess)
