Hydrocal is a type of plaster where as plaster is a more generic term that could be many things. So plaster is a category that contains Hydrocal, Plaster of Paris, etc...

Hydrocal is the trade name for a stone-like material, similar to hydrostone. Each designates a specific composition of ingredients that yield certain material properties, such as increased strength or decreased expansion.

Ah, I see. I'll have to try and get some of this stuff. It seems more readily available local as apposed to hydrostone
