The answer was that it depends on the mug but that my routine is 1 to 1 1/2 hours per mug. The fun part is during clean up and fine tuning you can use tools to deepen it without worrying about undercuts. The Sacramento crawl mug that I'm doing now has no nostrils until I carve them in. This made the mold easier to make. You have a great tiki and if you do the work after casting to bring out the detail you may find it's fun and you can vary each one too or add pieces. I'll enjoy watching you work. Wendy
