I use a mix of plaster just thin enough to slop on with a brush. Tear newspaper into the right length and width to be able to handle easy. Put a drop or 2 of vinegar in the plaster mix to keep it from setting too fast. Use a bigger paper to paint on, lay the strip down on it, slop the POP on it, then lay it on your form. Just keep building it up. It takes a lot longer to dry and harden because of the vinegar.
If I have everything lined out, sometimes I get by without vinegar. Mix a little less than normal, then just keep mixing and going. After it is all on, a brushed on coat covers up any goofs caused by going fast. Works great for me, and paper is cheaper than towels.
Good luck
