Use chavant non sulfur clay to separate the support shell into sections. Apply the clay at the line that separates the back of the bust from the front. Use pieces of clay to brace the clay wall from behind. The back of the model will be the first to receive the Plasti-Paste® mother mold material. As a final step prior to preparing the shell, carve a channel or "key" into the clay with a paper clip. This key will help register the shell segments together.
