Last Latex Layer

Final Bump-Outs Layer
Here's how the last layer of latex on this section looks. I'll have to start over with the next, hopefully final, mold section on the other side of the dragon after I create a plaster Forton mother mold for this section. It will provide the rigidity needed so that the dragon won't collapse and lose
its shape when concrete casting material is packed into the mold. Latex can't do this on its own. It needs this support. It had a rough childhood - in the jungle, no less - and is very insecure.

Bump-Outs Close-up
For those of you who haven't already seen enough, here's a close-up featuring the bump-outs, for lack of a better name. They're not quite
buttons, but are often referred to as such. However I need to distinguish them in my mind from the concave buttons I already made on the partition wall. I've been calling them "bumps" when I'm by myself. No harm in it. We all need to have
our little talks with ourselves now and then where we can use pet names for
things and no one can protest.

Watch for my new e-book coming out after project's completion to find out what you need to know about making bump-outs.
Wet, uncured areas, shown especially around the bumps are white.
The color of latex changes to yellowish as it cures. Most people don't find it
appealing. That's good! Otherwise, maybe there would be more widespread reports from hospital emergency rooms treating people crazy enough to bake it into brownies and eat it or smoke it outright. The life of artists can get lonely. Can we blame them that in the depth of their despair, they resort to eating and smoking things most people have the sense not to touch?
Further discussion of how to speed up curing will appear in my e-book.
