Ive recently seen some items for sale on sculpting sites that suggest using a 'freeze' spray. Anyone had any use and is it worth it? thanks AA |

Your question brings up questions: 1) Freeze spray, as in, canned air + propellant that is prescribed for cleaning electronics? 2) What might one freeze with this spray in regards to sculpting? I've got a ready supply of this stuff, and would love to understand more about its uses concerning sculpting. |

1) correct as far as I know 2) Putty. It hardens the putty short term, so you can cut and remove the putty from a rough surface. You then get a pattern on the putty. Putty then returns to normal use Question was ..does it work :) |

It works. I use it to stiffen putty enough to pull it off of smooth plastic after rolling out and cutting cloaks and other large drapery items. Just turn the can upside down (in direct violation of printed instructions) and blast away! Cans are cheap in multipacks at office supply and electronics retailers, especially on sale. |

Try to use the spray safely, though. By the way, I have found that it can also be useful for immobilizing or slowing the denizens of wasp nests, when you want to remove their nest… |

Of course, you could just put it in the freezer for a short while, but obviously, the can spray is faster. The other option is less expensive though. |
