  Ninfinger Productions: Resin Casting
The casting is still pliable while it is warm, so it could be distorted if it is removed from the mold before it cools to room temperature.
Because this casting method requires that the mold be held and rotated, it must be protected from being squeezed during casting.
Another method is to cast the mold in a temporary mold box, then brush on a thixotropic (a thixotrope is a gel that will not run when applied to a surface) mold support shell resin.

A new person comes into acting and almost immediately is advised by fellow actors and, unfortunately, respectable talent agents that the casting workshops and showcases are the way to jumpstart their careers.
Because the agent is currying favor with the casting agent, feathering his or her nest in the hope that, when the all-too-few acting jobs are actually being cast, the casting agent will be so grateful he will call that particular agent for some submissions.
DaMota’s fellow casting agents cannot possibly be happy with his efforts, and I suspect he is under a lot of pressure to shut the site down.
