do you bake your marblex? and a little sculpting hint, especially with marblex XD make the tin foil layer extremely thick so you use half as much clay XD ive learned my lesson from that one..

oh yeah forgot to ad foil on that one.

you just let it sit over night or something it a cooler area, nothing il,ke chilly, just like room temp, but your in cali so its hot there so i dont want to say your room temp XD but most mablex is self hardening clay unless the box says otherwise, so thats just something to look into, i usually work on my sculpture at night which gave them time to harden while i slept. another thing i do with my marblex is after i finish the culpture and im gonna let it dry, i mix craft glue (such as elmers) with warm water, and then coat the entire sculpture in it to make sure it doesnt break as easily,and for smaller partson the sculpture, coat in lightly in plain glue without the water

im not trying to nag on you, im just giving you the tips i had to learn myself the pain in the ass way XD
