Made some progress on my doll head thingy. I just need to check for symmetry regarding the chin. And figure ot a way to get my hands on AquaResin or environmental resin and casting stuff...And respirators...*has not even sanded the head yet*

[DollyKim]

Would this help? These are the people who make Amazing Mold Putty and other products you can find at Michaels stores, and stuff you can't. http://www.alumilite.com/products.cfm

Please share your progress, I'm getting ready to make some more heads for me then turn my thoughts to something I can cast and sell. And the slightest bit off perfect adds character.

You'd think with as popular as Tumblr got they would've upgraded their server capacity....

Alumilite is where I get all my casting/mold supplies. They have really good customer support and fast shipping. Get a good respirator and when mixing the resin be very careful not to have any exposed skin and wear a work apron. Last time I was less than as careful as I usually am(skipped the apron/had a slight gap between my nitrite glove and work shirt/must have touched my face at some point) and now I'm covered in hives on my cheek, wrists, and thigh where I must have dripped some chemical and it soaked through my jeans. They're getting better but have stuck around just over two weeks now. I don't have sensitive skin but this is a recurring problem if I'm anything less than super careful. I think it's "Part A" that's the problem. So just use caution.

How easy is it to pop back on a Barbie's head after you took it off the body? Thinking about rerooting and repainting Xalez's old head and maybe like....selling it or something. I don't know. It's probably the same hair-dryer technique...

In other news I feel useless. Good thing fitness camp is tonight. And I'm not being sarcastic. *flop*

Thank you, DollyKim and famedglory.
I better be really careful with resin stuff since I have sensitive skin.

(Note to my lazy self from my sane self: Get your butt off the phone and onto a computer or make a flckr account.)

Just push it on. You can warm up the hole a bit if you want but I've never needed to, elbow grease has always done it. Just do any face work after.

And Hobby Lobby carries Alumalite products as well as Premiere and La Doll clays and Reborn kits and sculpt your own baby head. They also have round eyes that look like they'd fit some BJDs.
