How To Restore a Rare Find Using Free Form® SCULPT
Step 1: Preparing Model
A mirror with a damaged frame was purchased at a yard sale and the broken parts have been identified. The missing wing will be recreated first. Cardboard will be used as an armature support Free Form Sculpt® sculptable putty. A marker is used to trace the outline of the broken piece onto the cardboard. Once the outline of the broken area is complete, the general shape of the wing is then sketched onto the cardboard and cut out. At this point, it is test fitted onto the dragon. Super Instant® Epoxy is mixed and applied to the edge of the cardboard. The cardboard armature is glued into place and held momentarily as the epoxy sets.
