1. Use a chip brush to brush on a nice half inch thickness of ultracal onto your sculpture, getting all the detail.
2. Let harden up, you will feel the heat from the mold, let cool
3. make another batch of ultracal this time it does not have to be as runny as you are going to dip burlap into the ultracal, brush on some ultracal first then start dipping & placing your burlap onto the mold, this is your second coat, the first was your detail coat.
4. You can do another layer as desired, some do a few, remember the more you do the stronger it will be but the heavier it will get.
A great video to get is Mark Alfrey\'s Molding & Casting, something like that, practice onn something else first if you are affraid to ruin your sculpture.
