Materials you will need for this Project
Open Timios mold and brush with a soft brush to clean any debris that may have accumulated, then band tightly. Open LI-QUA-CHÉ and carefully stir in a single direction until completely smooth. Do not mix in opposite directions so you don’t create air bubbles in it. (Air bubbles are not our friend!) Let it rest for five minutes and then rock it lightly on the counter to get rid of any bubbles left. |
Add pigment here if you
want color to the skin. I keep extremely careful record of the amount I use
so I will always be able to duplicate a color. Put four cups (1 quart) of
LI-QUA-CHÉ in an 8 quart (1 gallon) bowl and add pigment 1 teaspoon (measured and
counted) at a time until you’re happy with the color. Warning: Be sure
you write down the exact amount. (I promise, you’ll thank me!) Now add
the amount you used for pigment 3 more times to the mixture. Stir until smooth. It will be
too dark at this stage, don’t worry. Now add the three quarts that are left to this
mixture and stir again until smooth and even colored. You now have a gallon that is all
evenly colored. I can’t stress enough how important it is to keep really good
records. There will come a time you’ll need to replace a broken foot or hand and if
you don’t have records you are out of luck. (Trust me, this is the voice of
nasty, experience speaking from a whole table-full of pitiful, unmatched
parts!) You need to have a large bowl to empty your molds into. Long wooden spoons can be laid across the bowl so you can prop your mold upside down on the bowl while it drains. Also have a good supply of paper towels. There’s always some dripping’s and mess! (Don’t learn the hard way, on a dining table over carpet, like I did!) Go to Next Page |
