The Ways of CelluClay
Having now redone the CelluClay sections, I can say that I most certainly used too much water. I have now reworked those areas, following the instructions a bit closer using warm water the help it mix and much less of it. I worked in a couple of layers, as opposed to one heavy one, to aid in the drying time.
I also worked some across the tops of the mesa to eliminate some of the boring flatness and started filling some of the gaps between the layers of foam. I found that the CelluClay does not like the smooth surface of the slick flat areas so I simply smeared some wood glue over, and slightly under, those areas. That said, it’s sticking fine to the cut or roughed up sections as well as the primed skull.
I will add a bit more CelluClay to make the transition from mesa to skull a bit more seamless and more “natural” looking. I will also be blending the bottom jaw into the mesa and up to the skull once it is all mounted to the base. I want the bottom jaw to appear as if the mesa has opened its giant mouth, not like the jaw fell to the ground.
