DAMNS!?! Hah!
I never made a DAM because I don't pour liquid plaster. Neither should you
because it leads to molds way too thick which means way too hot. Look at my
website, grasshopper. You are not ready for a torso. I've been doing direct
plaster molds since 1987. Double-clamshell molds are hard for us and tiring
for the model. Soap is used to prevent plaster of the second side from
sticking to the first side.
