Topic Subject : Lifecasting help

Have a quick question for you more experienced artists out there...I have only begun to lifecast in the last month or 2. While most of my pieces come out good, some of them, especially the female torsos, come out with a pattern that resembles the surface of a golf ball. it seems to be wavy and covered in small divits. I am using accu-cast 880 as my alginate. I then use cut strips of burlap dipped in plaster to make the shell. Plaster bandages don't seem to be strong enough, they always seem to move on me. It also seems like undercut areas, like under the breasts, are misshapen.Don't know what I am doing wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Ben Larson
