So now you can make multiple wax casts but you have to hand detail every one? Or will you now make a mold from the detailed wax cast? Could you skip the clay and sculpt in wax to begin with?

the final sculpt will go back into silicone to make a mold. i'll pull one resin piece out and then make wax casting pieces. you can sculpt right into the wax, in fact, a lot of people do that. i find it easier to do the big stuff in clay. the tooling wax can be brittle.

thanks, woofmutt.
