what is the difference between this and a full life size skull that has teeth?which is better to use to sculp with clay?

I'm not familiar with a life size skull that has teeth, other than maybe an anatomy reference. In that case Tru Form's life size skull would definitely be the way to go. Anatomy references are just that--references. Better to stick with an actual armature.

Each clay has merits and specific uses of its own. Clay specialists use different clays for different purposes. Some people use sodium bentonite and love it. We suspect "drawing power" is more of a marketing tool, because we haven't seen studies that prove more drawing power = more healing power. We read in one report that calcium betonite actually has more absorptive surface area per molecule than sodium bentonite. But the proof for any clay is in its action and how you feel when you use it. It's helpful to know, too, whether the clay you're using is an external product only or a clay that can be used internally. We have been so impressed with the therapeutic action of our calcium bentonite green clay and people who have a lot of experience with it and many other clays call it the most effective healing clay at any price. Hope this helps.

I have only used cranio cradle and swear by it. A little more versatile and a little less expensive

I only purchased the front, not the back of the skullThe width at the cheeks, widest, is 3½", Height, at greatest measurement (top of the mold) is 4 1/8", and the depth is about 1½". I think that is the medium. I also ordered the large one, and it is about 4¼" across the cheeks, 5 3/8" top to bottom and about 2½" deep. I hope this information is helpful to you

The underside of the actual skull is molded like a real skull, but in tide the cranial opening (where the brain would be) is pretty smooth.

Plastic is better since it much lighter and not brittle. It would be extremely difficult to achieve this complex geometry with ceramic.

Fortiflex! I had two 4200's due on me within one year. The first one died in three weeks. I the bought a fortiflex and haven't had any problems. Also if you're using it for wood carving the fortiflex is much more powerful and better for carving. I purchased a carving hand piece with chisels for mine and it's fun you can also use foredom hand pieces on the fortiflex I purchased foredoms quick change hand piece so you don't have to use any chuck that's also nice. Good luck.

I believe its the same but I've been using the Aztec Indian clay as of lately.... Way better results! Try it!

You have to choose which head to buy. Definitely go with the steel head. It holds cold longer.

hmm...that's a humorous question :-) Here is my humorous answer: " Since it's mostly pelvis, perhaps a human male?" lol....All kidding aside, I actually did purchase the budget life-sized skull and an actual skull arrived, and it was of good quality. It lacks patent cranial nerve foramina however, but it is adequate for showing the suture lines, the cranial fossae, the orbits, and the oral cavity. Good luck!!

It's often used as a compliment to an armature of your making. So say for instance you would normally buy a head armature that comes with a baseboard, a rod/backiron, and some kind of armature formation at the top for the head (usually a round shape). Now, you can use your own baseboard, a rod/backiron of your choosing, and this skull. Basically it serves as a replacement for what would otherwise just be a round grouping of armature wire. I'm sure there are other uses, but this is how I most commonly see it used. As for it's durability, it can nick, as it's made of a urethane foam, but it's pretty sturdy. The clay isn't going to damage it in any meaningful way. Many people reuse the skull after they've molded their sculpt. They just pull the clay off and start anew. Hope that helps. Chris AFA Supplies

There is no difference that I know. Both are great products. I have 4 grandsons and have given both types of play sand. I love how it molds and makes great buildings and sand castles.

As I have not tried both, I cannot say exactly. This being said, the Hobbit ocarina is ceramic, and most are clay or ceramic. STL Ocarina makes amazing ocarinas of many kinds. I just have the hobbit, but from what I've seen, they are all great, and I would bet on those.

That's a good question. I wondered about fillings but I believe it's trace metals in the body it pulls out and if made using metal utensils or metal bowl, it renders the clay useless as a detoxer. Just speculation but I use this in a toothpaste recipe and on my face and would highly recommend.

I'm pretty sure you could. The skull is quite large and it probably wouldn't need as much clay is if you had sculpted the skull. 2 lbs sounds about right, but just in case add another 2

If you have a small mouth, small.If you have a bit bigger mouth and teeth, large. And if you take the time to customize them for yourself, they are not trash or garbage. They have been life changing for a lot of people, myself included.
