I do share the other's questions as to how you will mold with plaster, and then clear the mold. A one-part plaster mold is usually best for latex body parts, to avoid seam lines. So, would the old solvent trick work here, or would it leave a residue? For those who don,t know: few drops of acetone makes sturofoam dissapear. Very toxic (and most probably far from enviro-friendly), which is why I've never done it, though it sounds rather cool, tech wise. If there was a non toxic way of having a similar reaction, using other materials... I once dreamed of a big loaf of dry bread that could be sculpted and made permanent without the risk for mold and pests... Hey William, could your 3D printer sculpt a dry loaf of bread? _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
