I think that as John wrote, we all have methods that we make work for us.
You'll have to experiment and see what works best for your application. But
I do think in the beginning one should try to control as many variables as
possible and be consistent in all procedures and take notes and then
continue to experiment to minimize the problems, continue asking questions.
That's the nature of art.What I read most on this site, how individuals commit
to create a body cast of some sort and then realize they don't know what or
how to do the work. I'm always intrigued with that part of the creative
process.
Like John, I've been involved in a process for over 30 years and know
that in the beginning I had many mistakes in my quest for perfection. Now
decades later I take a lot of the process for granted but I do remember vividly
pouring molten bronze into molds and watching in horror as the shell molds
would break open just before the metal solidified and the metal would run
out of the mold...And I was being paid! So it is on the job training. The
worst that can happen is that your models will have to wash alginate off
their hands and redo the casting.
