Or do you need any at all for a mask? Any depressions may need a hole to allow the vacuum to pull the plastic into the depression. The hold can be pretty small. A drill can be used to put holes in the plaster. Also, know one company that makes their forms by carving them directly onto rigid urethane foam. If you are making large items, that is MUCH lighter to do. I'm not sure if the form is used as is, or perhaps they first vacuum a thin sheet of plastic over it that stays on it. (this technique can be used for a lot of items that might not otherwise release) Joe Dunfee joe-AT-dunfee.com Gordonville, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. --- Personal replies to: Joe <joe-AT-dunfee.com> --- List replies to: puptcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- Admin commands to: majordomo-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu --- Archives at: http://lists.village.virginia.edu/~spoons
