Topic Subject : Hair encapsulation with Body Double or Liferite?

Hi all, when using the proper release cream, will scalp hair (assuming it is not too long) properly release from Body Double or Liferite ? Is a bald cap required to make a full head casting with Body Double or Liferite ? If not how long can the hair be for proper release from the mold? Anyone has had experience with this kind of problem? if yes, could you please elaborate? A mold maker told me that even with the correct release cream from smooth-on, small arm hair was not properly released.... I saw pictures on the smooth-on website that seems to make it possible to make a Body Double mold from a person's face with a beard? And for Liferite--> from Artmolds.com --> "....around the model's head (note that he even captures hair detail with LifeRite)..."..does that mean the model is not wearing a bald cap?? (note:at this time I am only interested in issues related to skin safe type of silicone). Thank you. Luc
