I'm preparing my full-size Mr. Winkle sculpture for his journey to California. When he arrives at Braylu Creations, a mold will be made of him and castings rendered from the mold. I have to seal his orifices so the mold materials don't leak into his head. I've secured a Styrene plastic plate with Magic Sculpt on the inside of his mouth opening. It will serve as a backstop as I apply PaperClay atop the Styrene to neatly seal the cavity. I'll glue the trap door to the back of his head and disguise the seams. Then will he be ready to ship.
