Re: Cracked heads

"Karen,

 Are you using an armature for the heads?  Like foil?  I want to suggest you try a tip that the Creagers' share, and I now use when sculpting heads in pc.  For the armature, use foil and hot glue.
 Cut several pieces of foil into small squares.  Make a small foil ball, add a bit of hot glue on its outside then wrap that in one of the foil squares tightly around it while the glue is still hot.  Your fingers will get warm but will be ok. 
 Repeat this procedure until your armature is the size that you want it.  Just be sure to tightly wrap on top of the hot glue, eliminating any air pockets.
 When you bake your sculpted heads, the hot glue between the foil will soften and 'move' with the baking of the pc.  Thus, eliminating any cracks. I haven't had any cracks since using this technique.
