I've built up the form for the last time, I hope. It will take a couple of hours for the spackle to dry but I may be able to work on this this afternoon.
I've built it up pretty high, but I actually don't want that much relief, in order not to waste the type metal. There's also no need for it to be that high.
I may have to add a dab of spackle here and there once I start carving back down, but I hope I won't have to add large amounts anymore. I do plan on building up the rim before casting. However, it will be much easier to work on the surface without the built-up rim, especially seeing as how I don't have many chisels with curved or offset shafts.
It's a lot like frosting a cake and that's the way it looks, too.
