I want the controller to be removable... is that possible? Do I just do a less tight grip?

I want the controller to be removable? What would you recommend?

This is a clothed figure. But, let's discuss it a moment. The age of artistic censorship we're currently experiencing is marked by a complex tension between cultural sensitivity and freedom of expression. On one hand, increased awareness of different cultural contexts and the potential for art to offend has led to a more cautious approach. This sensitivity is often seen as a progressive move towards a more inclusive and respectful society. However, it can sometimes tip into what some perceive as over-sensitivity, where even the most benign artistic expressions are scrutinized or censored out of fear of causing offense. This heightened sensitivity has its roots in a positive place-aiming to avoid perpetuating stereotypes, disrespecting cultural symbols, or harming vulnerable groups. But it can also lead to self-censorship among artists and cultural institutions, who may avoid certain topics or expressions to sidestep controversy. This is particularly challenging in fields like education, art, and media, where exploring diverse human experiences and historical realities is crucial for deep understanding and societal progress. Critics argue that such sensitivity can limit creative freedom and stifle dialogue that could foster deeper understanding and reconciliation. The key challenge moving forward is finding a balance that respects diverse perspectives while still upholding the essential freedoms that allow art to challenge, inspire, and inform. This conversation mirrors broader societal debates about the boundaries of speech and the role of art in public life, suggesting that the solutions will need to be as nuanced as the art forms themselves. We respect your opinion as it yours. However, there was absolutely no intention to offend only to teach.

@@EnvironMolds yes, let's discuss. So, I'm not the first to notice. I'm a psychiatric professional. I spend most of my time working with young men and women whose lives have been permanently deranged by the sexual attention of a trusted adult. Some of them had their clothes on. It's not about what he did as much as how it affected her. All the adults were telling her this is ok, this is normal. Like Dr. Nasir and the gymnasts. I noticed RED FLAGS. If I say nothing, I am complicit. I don't know him or you, I have observed a white male over 40 talking about touching a tweens breast and cutting her leotard off etc. if you don't find this alarming you are enabling. any issues that young woman has around men and sex in the future are on your shoulders. I am not saying that man has molested anyone. I'm saying he is behaving in a manner that is 100% consistent with an active pedophile. See something, say something. Wouldn't it be a dream to live in a world where boys and girls can become adults without sexual trauma, relationship trauma, and all the maladaptive behaviors. My best to you and your family. If you need help right now, call 988. If you're concerned about that child, have her evaluated by a trauma trained professional.

​@@EnvironMoldsyou deleted my reply? Seems you don't want to discuss. You want to hide your head in the sand. I hope to God he hasn't assaulted anyone. First minute he's pointing and touching and talking about her breasts and hips. I would have made sure he never saw my daughter again.

Thank you for your kind words.

One common ingredient used to modify resin to make it soft and reshape able like clay is a type of plasticizer. Plasticizers are substances added to plastics or resins to increase their flexibility, durability, and workability. One example of a plasticizer that can be used with resin is a type of phthalate-based plasticizer. These substances are often added to polymers to make them more pliable. However, it's important to note that some phthalates have been associated with health concerns, so it's crucial to choose a plasticizer that is safe for your intended use and to follow proper safety precautions when working with it. Another option is to use a softener specifically designed for resin. These products are formulated to soften resin and make it more malleable, similar to clay. They can often be found at craft stores or online. Always make sure to carefully follow any instructions provided with the plasticizer or softener and test the modified resin on a small scale before using it for larger projects to ensure it meets your needs and performs as expected. Additionally, consider the intended use of your modified resin and ensure that any additives you use are safe for that application. Here are some common plasticizers used with various types of resin: Phthalate-Based Plasticizers: These are among the most widely used plasticizers and are often used with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) resin. Examples include diisononyl phthalate (DINP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP). However, it's important to note that some phthalates have health and environmental concerns associated with them, so it's essential to choose phthalates that are considered safe for your intended application. Adipates: Adipates are another group of plasticizers commonly used with PVC resin. Examples include di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) and diisononyl adipate (DINA). Adipates are often chosen as alternatives to phthalates due to their lower toxicity and better environmental profile. Trimellitates: Trimellitates are often used as alternatives to phthalates in applications where high-temperature resistance is required. Examples include trioctyl trimellitate (TOTM) and triisodecyl trimellitate (TIDTM). Epoxidized Oils: Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) and epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) are examples of epoxidized oils that can be used as plasticizers. These are often used as alternatives to phthalates in applications where a renewable and biodegradable option is preferred. Polymeric Plasticizers: These are high molecular weight plasticizers that are often used to improve the mechanical properties of resin formulations. Examples include polyesters and polyethers. Specialty Plasticizers: There are also specialty plasticizers available for specific applications, such as those designed for use with epoxy resins or polyurethane resins. I hope that answered your question. Best regards, Ed

I am the same way. I just found that you can speed up the video by clicking on the settings icon on the top right and changing the playback speed!

Yes it is safe.

Parafine I think will work

Many thanks for your attempt. We have some wonderful how-to books that are silent :-)

Alginate is a generic name for dental impression material. It is not a brand. Alginate is used for mold making and not for casting.
