Plywood mould destroyed
The advantages of using layered plywood as formwork is that the cast outcome get imprinted with wood and layering texture. This mould-making method allows accidental marks get left onto the cast, making the replica more like the orginal ruins as the plaster eroded away when the plywood layers with small openings traps them. The disadvantages of using plywood as formwork are that it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be reused, require high manual labour and very time consuming to construct.
