Removing cement from aluminum baking plate

October 8, 2009

We make a fine mixture of White cement + plaster of paris + general purpose adhesive( Fevicol) + water in thick form. We have aluminium plates having 4 portions of 12 mm wide and 12 mm deep. We fill it with mixture and put our small articles in between it and align it properly. Then we baking it in an electric oven for quick drying and no more shrinkage which could unalign our articles.

After our process is complete we remove our article.

Now we are facing problem to remove the dry mixture. It is not at all easy. Is there any solution to remove it fast?

Hi, Bankim. If the plates were coated with Teflon impregnated electroless nickel plating, I think there would be greatly reduced sticking.
