    When I did mine I found a patch of white fuzzy fake fur at Michael's that I was happy with. It is very light and fluffy. I glued a couple strands at a time on with contact cement. Took quite a while!

    NO. Spirit Gum will not work, it is not a glue. The original had Yak hair punched in it.

    Excuse my ignorance, what is a "CKing" head made of?

    If you are selling the piece and don't know how or what to use, I wouldn't. Let the customer do the hair and paint and eyes. I think you'll have a better time selling it if the customer has the option to finish it like they want.
    I would buy a raw one, but I wouldn't buy one with spirit gummed fun fur on his head. See what I mean?

    I've done a resin Yoda bust w/ hair, and used Liquitex Fluid Matte Medium to attach the hair. It dries clear, w/ a matte finish and really holds the hair on. Only caution I would add is make sure the last application is dry before you add the next strands.
