For those of you that don,t feel you need a release, think on .
Yes alginate comes off most skin freely, but not all types & it does not
come of hair easily as it permeates the hair fibres. I always use Nivea
some times alot & sometimes very little .
I HAVE WITNESSED people getting stuck in moulds, & it taught me not to make
the mistakes of others.
I specialise in full body moulds, pushing the envelope is where I'm at, but
for safety's sake, I use a release.
I have safely cast over a thousand full bodies; heads, hands, torsoes, I've
way lost count of.
I use Nivia & I don't lose detail, and it does not slide off.
If you want see the results of my work, try checking out my movies, I've
done over a hundred.
There are fine& accomplished artists here, but many are not. The message to
all the people learning this art is "Be safe...& don't run before you can
walk
while you,re still in the questioning stage of this experience..... Safety
is paramount"
Thanks for you time
Go safely
