Come prepared to cast. Before you begin, you need to know some of the basics , such as the proper tools to purchase and cleaning techniques. You may also need to purchase a paint paddle, some casting thinner, a rubber mallet, plasticizer and porcelain paint. First, gently stir your porcelain. You want to avoid getting air bubbles in the mixture.
Air bubbles create splits, holes and cracks in the doll after it has been cast.
If you would like, you can use a paint paddle to do this task. Simply attach the paddle to your drill motor, strap on your safety goggles and mix it up. Mix your porcelain to form the proper creamy consistency not too thick or thin. If the porcelain is too thick, the casting will come out with pour rings . Pour rings are circular marks left around the piece.
