I can't sketch the paw print!

Hint 1 of 8:

That's right.  You can't.

Hint 2 of 8:

But you might be able to "make a good impression" with the right equipment.

Hint 3 of 8:

Did you find the cement in the barn?

Hint 4 of 8:

Maybe you could make a cast of the paw print.

Hint 5 of 8:

Still can't figure it out?

Hint 6 of 8:

Return to the barn and take the quick-drying cement, and Gabriel will look
after the rest.

Hint 7 of 8:

Now pour the pail of cement on the paw print.

Hint 8 of 8:

Isn't that nice of Gabriel to return the pail and clean up ?
