OK, thanks. Sorry, I thought maybe you painted it to get a better idea of how the texture would look on the finished claw. I've read that plaster is tricky to finish because it so readily absorbs any liquid you put on it.
Loving the work by they way :thumbsup

That's true about the plaster. A single brushed-on coat of Model Master acrylic paint is sufficient to seal it. I ended up with 4 coats because I'm not sure how difficult it will be to scrape the clay out of the grooves during the molding process.
