Angel, this is if I send out the head to be cast by somebody else. They said it might shatter when they take it out of the mold, and definitely the paint might get messed up and they couldn't promise me anything but a good solid cast in the end. They are probably thinking that I made the additional sculpt with Sculpey and not Apoxie.
I actually bought some material for mold making/casting, and it's enroute at the moment. Maybe it might be here by this weekend and I could try to be brave and cast her head myself. I'll see. Have you had your hair additions shatter at removal when you popped it out of the mold?
Jess.
I think the people who told you that really gave you some unreliable information. I can tell you if you were to buy the kit mentioned below, you would not have any problems. The apoxie will not shatter, Zira’s head will not shatter and the paint job will not get messed up. The rubber mold will be made of flexible silicine rubber and removing the head is actually pretty easy.

I've never had anything shatter while removing items from the mold. I can't understand them telling you this. As long as you're not in a hurry, I'll take some pix the next time I create a head mold and casting. It'll give you some confidence.
