OK Here's a Quick Tutorial. It was late spending about 5 hours on side A to build up walls and stuff and do the plaster dental stone mold. Up to 2:20am to finally finish Side A.

Next day was easy spent about 1 hour + to make side B. Then the real adventures begin. De-molding is a like a delicate surgery especially with Hard clay. I had trouble opening it then I figured out a way (took the night off for this- No Rushing despite deadlines) to Use Hot Water to fill in the gaps after cracking the edges a little bit to find the separation line. Slowly filling and chiseling with flat chisels and separating both sides until it was effortless.

I had a rib muscle injury the other day riding on my scooter which end up being a good thing. Normally I would use my manly Hulk Power Muscles to pry these 2 open which would funking destroyed it. Luckily I compensated power with smarts and gently pry the 2 halves apart using the hot water method.

This is a good technique for all plaster molds. If you can't separate the 2 halves mold with a gentle handshake then don't do it.

Anyway Separating the head and melted the face gave me another Pet project idea: A demon Wolvy or Batty.

Now on to casting in latex... Urrrghhh!

The Yellow is the plaster powder. Brown stuff is sculpting clay the white-ish color is wed clay.

Its dental stone. Another type of plaster in China. Its good that its yellow to differentiate from other brands and types of plaster materials. This is very fine powder.
