FAILURE
It sort of worked. The liquid latex captured the detail very well, and it's suprisingly durable.
But the goddamn alginate shrunk over the week that I was applying coats of latex. The final rubber mask was about 2/3 the size of the original. Which means it didn't work.
Jesus, i'm just trying to take an impression of the front side of a clay head. It's taking up alot of time and money. Shit.
Don't worry, Andrew. All the experience working with the materials will serve you well in another moment. Just keep moving forward. Make the next step as simply as you can. What's the most straight forward thing to get what you need? You can make a face.
