I have a male model who wants me to cast his chest. He has a moderately hairy chest and shaving it off is not an option for him. What else can I do?

Hair cholesterol by V05 is the answer!

ArtMolds makes MoldEZ which is an excellent hair release made for life casting. The first step is to work MoldEZ into the roots of the hair. Then comb the hair in its natural direction. Finally, take MoldEZ on your palm and carefully apply it in the direction of the hair on its surface. MoldEZ is water-soluble and will shampoo right out.

Lubricate the hair very well by rubbing in several directions. All the hair must be coated. They lay the hair down in the direction of growth. Also prepare the model for a slow process of taking the cast off. Let him pull as much as possible, and then he controls the level of pain.
