    Shellshock doesnt need matting, but it probably wouldn't hurt if you wanted to use it

    Thank you Wesley!! I ended up using a cardboard box lined with plastic, and I'm about to start sculpting!! Thank you so much for your help!! <3

    Help!! I've sculpted scales out of clay and am about to sculpt my fluke... but I can't figure out how to open part B of my Shell Shock!! It says "Cut Slots to Open" but i want to be able to close it up in case I don't use it all. Advice or knowledge?? Thanks y'all! <3
