***EDIT***
Mask Murderers said basically the same as me, lol... i\'m not deleting this though so you can see how our methods compare. Basically the same but i use more coats.
Ok, the others are trying to explain how you do this in coats.... here is a simplified rundown for you...
1. Spray your sculpture with Krylon Crystal Clear.
2. When dry, spray with some Krylon dulling spray.
3. use a chip brush to gently apply a first coating of Ultra Cal being careful not to trap air bubbles or press to hard with the brush.
4. Allow to dry fully.
5. Repeat step 3. a further 2 or 3 times allowing the Ultra Cal to fully dry between coats.
6. Prepare another mix of Ultra Cal and dip your burlap into it ensuring that it absorbs as much Ultra Cal as possible. Apply this burlap to all the area\'s you brushed Ultra Cal onto before. Allow this to filly dry too.
7. Add another couple of coatings of Ultra Cal allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
That\'s basically it. You don\'t just make the mold in one session, you have to allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
As mentioned, look for Mark Alfrey or Jordu Schell dvd\'s on molding. They will show you the full procedure in a better way than can be explained here.
