It will depend on the way you are making your mold you could probably do it with about 3-4 pounds. It will depend on how thick you make your mold. You may get away with less by making a thin coat over the jaw then going back over with a thickened or thixotropic coat then put a jacket of mother mold material over that for support.
If you need any more info feel free to pm or call I'll help with what I can.
