Topic Subject : Pregnant belly casts

Just wondering if i could get some advice on different techniques on how to do a belly cast from start to finish in alginate. I predominantly do baby hands and feet and have explored further but i have a paying customer that would like me to do her belly in about 6 weeks time - she is aware that it is my first go. I would really appreicate as much info as possible. I dont know whether to use plaster bandages to reinforce or plaster i understand the plaster bandage concept but not really the plaster over the top, i also would really appreciate if someone could step out the layering effect of painting the plaster into the mould followed by hession or fibreglass small pieces, then how long til next layer or do i do straight away. How is hanger attached? I was thinking about doing a practice run on a bowl or something just to get the idea. Really hope someone can help me.
Thankyou in advance
Ali
