I have the jaw set set, but not sure if I did it right. 1) The teeth are very tight against the lips,do I drill out more and how much? 2) Once I tuck the lips, do I pin them in betwen the jaw set and lip or is glue enough. 3) Do you use wax to finish out?

You`ll need to remove more foam so ya have room to tuck the lips between the foam and the teeth...I use Epo-Grip to glue my open mouths in place..then I tuck seran wrap down in the creases and back of the mouth to hold it in place as it dries...I then use apoxie sculpt which I color first by adding powder paint to it as I roll it together..I then hand paint the colors in to get the look I`m looking for...after ya paint it take a q-tip and laquer thinner and dob the painted areas until you get a natural look by removing any heavily painted areas....no wax


Reference?

Do you have reference to look at to show you where things go? I know I sometimes "guess" and end up regretting it. The more I get into this, the more I learn that understanding good reference is the way to go. Hope this helps.
