Using Smooth-Cast 57D Milo demonstrates two techniques for casting his bear skull mold. The skull mold is cast using a hand rotation method, adding color tint and nickel silver for a real metal cold casting. The jawbone mold is cast solid in the same urethane plastic. The end result is a wonderful taxidermy mount.
