Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] moldmaking learning curve


Shim plaster casting is the best way to make head molds...because you can 
make 3, 4 or 5 piece molds to handle the undercuts. I've made complicated ones 
with 7 pieces.   Greg Ballora helped me makde a video about 20 years ago, which 
was primarily for neoprene, but shows how to do simple shim plaster casting.   
I learned it first hand from Romaine Proctor at the 1955 PoA Festival at 
Bowling Green, Ohio...   You don't need a cardboard box, and you can achieve very 
tight molds with tim shims....Jim Gamble 

I cannot imagine using the string pulling method for an 8 inch head or even a 
2 inch head and get fine definition.   JG
