I use it in both wax molds and silicone molds with no trouble.

Loved it when I first saw it and thanks for showing the build pics. OK ... my question: When you said "I then covered his entire body form with news print." I am guessing that was paper mache? I am curently working on my first MM project and I really didn't like using the burlap. It made for a VERY heavy prop and at 6 feet tall, is a bit troublesome to move. I wish I would have thought to use an old bed sheet or something else. Thanks again for sharing these pics! :) That is a great prop.

Thank you! Looking at those hands, I have a couple of questions... Is the foam you're using self-skinning? can it be used within a slush-mold skin of latex, or will it attack the material? You've created a great resource for prop work here! Coffee in hand, I'm reading through the rest of the articles this morning. Thanks again. 9M An excellent piece, and very good walk-through.
