Hi Dan,

if you look at "DanLovesTikis" thread (it should be the number one thread in Creating Tiki) Wendy gives all the instruction you'll ever need. you may have to scroll through her pages as she posts a lot.

I'm still struggling with my perfect sculpting material. Most recently I used "Monster Clay" but I find it to be a little too soft when it comes to making the mold. I keep it frozen during the final sculpting for the details, but it needs to be room temp when mold making, otherwise it sweats. I need to get more comfortable with the plasteline oil based clay, but they seem too hard to easily smooth with my fingers. It requires tools and solvents. I'm going to try plain old clay for my next sculpt. I guess you don't allow it to dry completely and it will work nicely for mold making. We'll see.

Good luck!

Aloha,

TikiRob
