Release agent

[Stephen G.]

Hello

I'm going on a hunting trip to africa and I will need to make some head casts. The only thing I will be able to cast with will be plaster of paris. I hope I can get some.

What I need to know is what do you recmmend for a release agent for cast the face with the hair on with out it doing damage.

Thanks

[Jeff Sonner]

rub a good coat of petroleum jelly all over the areas you wish to cast and slick down all the hair and whiskers to prevent them from pulling out.

[Stephen G.]

thanks. I hope I can find some there if I can't carry on the airlines.

Mix your jelly with a little mineral spirits to thin it our, this will allow more detail with a thinner coat of mold release. Tim
