The United Nations said that in total $13.34 billion has been earmarked for the crisis through 2020, though two years after the quake, less than half of that amount had actually been released, according to U.N. documents.
To make plaster, approximately 1 1/2 cups of boiling water are salted and mixed with 4 cups of flour. The mixture is set aside until it is cool enough to handle, yet still warm to the touch. The plaster is then molded into the desired shape by hand or by using specially designed arts-and-crafts molds. An alternate plaster of Paris recipe calls for glue and water. To make this version, two parts of diluted white glue are mixed with one part warm water.
The mold we are making will be of plaster of Paris and can be used to cast aluminium, brass, bronze, silver, gold or zinc. These methods can also be used to make a plaster backup plate for making sand molds. For cast iron or high melting point bronze sand molds are better than plaster. Figure 3.
