This will give you a negative, much like a mould cavity which you can use to hold your castings whilst you file the backs. It'll allow you to get uniformity of thickness and if you glue it to a stick or something like that it'll make your castings much easier to hold while you work on them.

I've done a similar thing (but not as good of detail or re-usability) by press molding into super sculpy. The big difference my process though was I used two part resin, that set up quickly. Maybe something you might want to try?<br /><br />cheers! <br />ThsFoss1066https://www.blogger.com/profile/05532255411392601854noreply@blogger.com
