Preparation of Materials
This image explains how to prepare and mix your material; it is crucial that you have someone with you to assist you during the procedure.
Mixing the Materials
If you're mixing the material by hand, keep a bowl of water nearby to rinse your hands so they don't dry out.
Forming of the Structure
During this process, it may be difficult to level the material on the form's surface, so dip your palm in water and gently rub the material on the surface; using a little water softens the material and makes it easier to level.
Crafting the Material
Please keep in mind that crafting the material might be tough and time-consuming; it is best to have someone with you to ensure that you do not hurt yourself. Using a highlighter to illustrate where to cut improves the process of cutting.
Final Crafting
After crafting, allow the material to cure and harden.
Separating the Material From the Mold
Joining the material with glue speeds up the process; you may also attach it with the material, but it will take a long time to dry.
