So, how's the pyrex weight work? The tiki looks face down with the dish on his back. If he's pliable, wouldn't doing a face plant mush his nose or the front of the base, or is it not that pliable?

Hey TikiJosh,
The tiki will bend, but it is not pliable to the point of being able to reshape the piece. It just gets it "soft" enough to bend easily by hand. It has some sort of memory, so it wants to go back to the bent position as it cools. It gets harder as it cools too, so when it started hardening a bit, I put the pyrex on top to keep it straight while it was cooling. After about ten minutes, it is warm, but will stay straight without the plate on top as it returns to room temperature. I did another thinner one, and I just held it in my hands straight for about ten minutes, and it turned out fine. The plate works well when it is too hot to hold.

Sold for $159.49 on ebay a couple of days ago :o :o :o ...
