So the negative cuts in the cheeks won't be a major issue. Also where is the link to the kit I should get from smooth-on? Thanks all.

Is this the kit - http://www.smooth-on.com/Getting%20Started.asp:
Silicone SuperSampler™
Each Silicone SuperSampler™ contains working samples of OOMOO™ 30 silicone mold rubber and Smooth-Cast™ 300 liquid plastic, Ease Release™ 815 release agent for silicone, SuperSeal™ , and the "How to Make Molds & Castings" booklet.
$25.00

How much material do you get in it (ie. a pint of each bottle)? Just wondering if it is a good deal or if I should just get a pint of Smooth-Cast 300 and Mold Max 30.

I just got this kit in the mail today... IT IS WORTH IT.......lol. I was expecting something smaller... There is a lot of material to play with. I reccommend it. You even get two small little sample pieces to show the quality of the finished materials...

There is sample pieces in the box? I didn't even get that far yet. Pulled out the instructions and the mold liquid and already started poured the first half of my mold. Interesting that the Part A is Pink and the Part B is blue. Also interesting that Part A is really thick and sorta sticky and Part B flows like water. Guess tomorrow morning I will get to see how the first part turned out and flip it over for the second half.

Have to see what pieces I got in my box....

BTW - if anyone wants one or a set PM me.
