I use a few things for bodies, whichever best fits the application. I try
not to make the body only with the 'substances', but have the substance
finish off a material body of some sort.
I use vinyl cement, Softex, Super-glue gel and reg., clear nail polish, and
once in a while 2-part epoxy. Both vinyl and Softex are much easier to
work, stay put, dry fast, and most important- are lighter and softer than
epoxy. I have a bunch of the sparkle-body colors, but I find them too
time-consuming to shape, so I just use them for paint-eyes.
Is there any specific 'head' application you're talking about? If I tried
to write about all applications, it would be an epistle, and you know how
Jimmy loves to P&M about those.
