[beetlecat]

Here is the continuation of my Teeth Sculpting Tutorial where I show how I embed those teeth into a fursuit's jaw.

Nice! I'm wondering what kind of teeth your gona do for Project X.

Hmm.. that *is* an interesting question..

I think i used some sort of evil epoxy when I did this on my own fursuit head. >.< It came out horrible and I ended up ripping the entire jaw from the head and having to redo some of the foam.. and now he doesn't have any teeth. :/

where did you get your epoxy? and what brand is it?

[beetlecat]

Did it not set right? It has to be mixed well or it'll never harden properly.
Here's a previous thread that might help with your questions :)

[synchra]

no it just dried too fast. WAAYYY too fast. I know I mixed it right though. I used a better epoxy in my sculpting class, but I can't find the kind we used in it. I used some horribly annoying kind.

ahhh so it's this a and b stuff? I'll have to get some of that.

Ah, the best thing to do is simply look at the working time time for each clay. Some are formulated to set up quicker (within minutes even).

I'm not sure what it is for this one, but it's never been an issue for me - probably an hour or so of actual working time, and then it hardens gradually for several hours after that.

I aim to please :)

Ah.. Never thought about it before, but I may do just that..

Interesting. I personally find an internet bookmark to be easier, but I can see how it could be handy to have something offline and printable.

I'll likely consolidate a few mini tutorials into one larger tutorial and then I'm sure I could covert that into a PDF for downloading.
