i have a few fish bodies i made from paper mache what should i use to make a mold. and how to you mold them.

Paper mache ! Your going to have a big problem . If you dont seal them completely when you make your mold , the paper will absorb the material and you'll never get it apart in one piece . I would suggest you seal the whole body with regular wax ( candle ) then smooth it out and use plaster or fiberglass . Why didnt you just use a carved foam body to make your mold ? Rick
