Stucco, in art, is a fine plaster made of sand, water, lime, gypsum(plaster of Paris) and, sometimes, pulverized marble and glue, in varying proportions. It may be applied to interior or exterior walls or to ceilings, furniture, or sculpture to form a weatherproof coating, a smooth surface, or relief decoration achieved by modeling, molding, or stamping when wet or by incising when dry. It can also be formed into figures in the round. Stucco is white, but it may be tinted or painted.

CONT

... casting processes that use aggregate molding materials are shell molding, carbon dioxide process... and plaster molding. In shell molding the aggregate consists of sand 2. 5-10% thermosetting resin. The metal pattern is heated between 350 and 700°F, and the aggregate is allowed to thermoset around the pattern, forming a thin sand shell. The shell is then cured and removed from the pattern. The shell halves are assembled and sometimes strengthened by a backing.

Apparu en Allemagne à la fin de 1944, le moulage en carapace est aussi appelé «procédé Croning», du nom de son inventeur, et, aux États-Unis, «shell-moulding». Le moule est en sable siliceux aggloméré à la chaleur par des résines phénoliques thermodurcissables (phénol-formol, ou phénol-formol-crésol) formant carapace autour du modèle métallique. La plaque portant le modèle est chauffée à 200 °C pour former un moule-carapace de quelques millimètres d'épaisseur; l'ensemble est ensuite porté à 300 - 400 °C pour polymériser la résine. On peut alors séparer du modèle la carapace durcie. Un moule est constitué de deux carapaces collées.
