Experimented with different ways of putting latex on plaster by letting the latex dry in mold then putting wet plaster on top, putting wet plaster on wet latex. Neither really worked. They seem to resist each other and don’t want to stick. Wet latex on dry plaster does not soak into the plaster and can easily be peeled off. It keeps the texture and creates a very flexible, delicate mold. 

Adhering dry latex on to dry plaster with PVA pigment. Can see the pigment through the latex. Mirror glass effect on resin
Tried marking paint on brass, was a pain. Is very easy to rub off.
