With the compounds in this BODY PARTS™ Kit you can create sculpture which simply cannot be made otherwise. The non-toxic materials are very safe when used as directed. However, since we cannot control their actual use we accept no responsibility for the effects of incorrect or experimental application.
With all professional art mediums, experience is the best teacher. It is occasionally more complex to describe a creative process than it is to just do it. However, for your own independent work it is important to understand how and why these mediums work the way they do.
