Now I kind of feel like trying it again, but pouring a thinner final product. I also noticed when I was digging around for some black spray paint that I had a partial can of Bondo in the basement. Does that stuff go bad? It must be ten years old. Bondo would have been a lot easier than plaster to shape initially. It starts off nice and soft when it sets up and doesn't reach full hardness for a while. I suspect I could carve a cleaner positive mold with some...
Wax is good too. You can buy special wax for that, it comes in varying degrees of hardness, You can also soften paraffin with some microcellulose wax, available at your harware store in the plumbing section as wax toilet rings. They are very soft and sticky so only add a little bit at a time to the paraffin. Or just buy the right stuff.
