I am hoping that I don't have a problem when I am ready to make a mould. Thanks again, John Thanks Gerald,

That is very helpful, I will try the odorless mineral spirits, I have been using paint thinners but that stinks. I am hoping that I don’t have a problem when I am ready to make a mould.

Thanks again,

To smooth out my wax sculptures I use odorless mineral spirits in replacement of alcohol. I've found that the alcohol wasn't enough. Other methods that work for smoothing out wax are steel wool, a damp smooth cloth (use water for dampening and smooth using pressure) and different thin grades of sandpaper. Hope that helps, Gerald John,

I have only recently discovered this sight and have found it really helpful. I am using the Chavant NSP product after a that was recommended at a Smooth On seminar I attended after a desasterous experience making a mold of a regular Plastaseen piece. Currently I am struggling with the hair of my current project and was wondering if the 90% alcohol will work on the NSP as it does on your medium (Super Sculpey) Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks John I have been looking for somewhere to ask a question but this is the closest I can find so I apologize in advance if this is not the right place.
