Yeah i always do the prepouring like rgm501, you can do similar with a 1 piece mold as well, pour in a small amount shake it around a bit and place it on its front and leave to cure. then repeat for the sides and back then lastly fill in the centre

I pre pour as well if possible, I use two parts and one part molds depending on complexity, heads I usually have success with one part molds

im gonna have to try this out, I think it could change my life lol

im trying to avoid the 2 piece mold on a head sculpt because I don't know where the best place to put the seam on it would be if theyre not wearing a mask (skin texture, ear detail, facial detail etc.) I may try this technique on a single piece seeing as its just a head and see what happens
