Yea, it just seems like common sense that they'll go back to the original form in not much time. Good method for a taking a photo, but probably not a final solution. I'm thinking the black washers are the only way. I still got time waiting on it to decide.

You can alway remove the dreads, drill a channel and add some wires

Nah, I'm not doing all that. That could be a disaster and devalue it if not done perfectly. You can send me one of your portraits to get a practice run on doing the dred's before doing it on mine. Just send me the Gort head, it's cool!

[Jungle Demon]

Sure. Sent me $10K.

What are everyone's thoughts on using a can of compressed air to expedite the cooling process?

I would not do this. You could risk cooling too quickly/frosting the surface, resulting in crazing or other damage to the surface. Don't ask me how I know this

Did you freeze your keyboard too?

[SDguy]

Not really sure why a warning based on actual practical experience is a point of humor, but you all do you, with your $3K statue. No need to learn from my mistakes.

Gotcha. I've only ever done this with soft vinyl or cheap toys. Would make sense to play it more conservatively with a statue.

An update in regards to the dreads a few days later. They have naturally dropped down since the original pic I took however much better than the initial out of box dreads. I?ll keep the forum in the loop but I think this is how they will stay naturally which I?m happy with
