check out John Brown's Dvd's from http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/scu05.html

they really helped me when I first started making molds and casting.

if you really want to learn to do it right. I'd spend the money. I bought all of them and they are worth every penny. John brown really knows what he is doing.

Hehehehe, if you think the DVD is expensive, wait till you have to pay for the silicone and resin to cast your sculpt!!
