Great info indeed William... Amazing how many different sculptors have different preferences on baking. I have tried all of them too... But I must say your method sounds pretty sound to me and I think I will give it a whirl on my next piece....

It's basically idiot-proof. Properly baking the work also means that the original sculpture will not get destroyed in the molding process. For some that may not be an issue, but I like to keep my original art as pristine as possible.

Go forth and create, Sir Dawg.

Another baking question.
My figure's armature is attached to a wood base. Would the wood hold up without catching on fire at the low 225 temp or should I remove the base?
Just worried about ending up with baked flat spots if I lay it down.



(WIP,still needs more work before baking.)

The wood will definitely hold up and even at temps higher than that... bake away my good man.
