Terry’s Tips – Jan/Feb 2007

  • Use a level of lighting to suit the stage of sculpting. Don’t polish in dim light and show it off with display spotlights.
  • Veins and small cracks won’t sand out no matter how hard you try.
  • Different can be better, even on the same stone. It’s an attention-getter.
  • A stone’s grain or pattern can cause an optical illusion that might distort the sculpture’s final presentation. Plan ahead.
  • Believe the sealer labels when they say, “Test in an inconspicuous place.”
  • A piece of dental floss can be used to cut clay, or cheese.
  • Modeling clay too soft? Cool it off in the refrigerator for a while.
  • Make sure the drill bit overrun isn’t into something valuable. Beware the poke-through “blowout.”
  • Does your lug wrench really fit your car’s lug nuts?
