Ouch! Luckily that was one tip I stumbled upon fairly early. I remember distinctly, because it was one of those, "so much for that idea!" moments for me. I had wanted to start with foam latex, but knowing it required a dedicated oven (and gram scales, blah blah blah), I ended up scrapping that idea. Sculpting I can do, lifecasting I can do, but mold making honestly blows my mind a little bit. That's where the basic Smith course will come in particularly handy, I think. It'll give me some good instruction and a chance to do it myself, which is how I learn best when working with hands-on projects.
