Hi everyone, I've spent many hours on this forum and have finally gotten around to joining! good to be here.
I've got a sculpt that's 95% complete, but there are parts of it I want very smooth, and oil based clay that I've been using for this sculpt is very hard to get really smooth with. I know its possible, but as I've just bought a ton of water based clay (super easy to smooth!), to make the dividing wall for a casting, I suddenly thought -
Can I put a thin coat of water based clay on top of the oil based clay, then apply Ultracal 30 as you would to a normal oil-clay sculpt? has anyone tried this? if it could work it really would save many hours . . .
Hopefully I've struck on something that could benefit many of us making sculpts, but it's late so I think all my ideas are awesome when I'm really tired.
Thankyou
Fred
