To increase the durability of the cast article in the presence of moisture, sodium carbonate in an amount up to 5% by weight of the dry weight of the cement is added to the composition. The sodium carbonate is preferably present in an amount between 0.1% and 0.5% of the dry weight of the cement and the composition preferably also contains an acrylic resin emulsion in an amount from 0.25% to 4% of the dry weight of the gypsum and cement in the composition and a pigment such as iron oxide, titanium oxide or cobalt oxide in an amount from 0.25% to 4% by weight of the dry weight of the gypsum and cement in the composition. | |
