How Accurate Does The Template Have To Be?

[jc426]

I found doing the template a b**ch, in all honesty, but the back is especially difficult to do, on your own. I've drawn the outline fine, but the back of the template is slightly flimsy, didn't put enough tape on. How accurate does it need to be? I don't want them to tell me they need another one sending.

I try to get mine within 0.5 cm every side. The final system can be moved or the area prepared to fit so there is room for some error which you can change next time

Thanks, Grincher, but I meant more specifically the shape of the mold. The rest is fine, but it looks like my skull is slightly collapsed at the back
It was my second attempt at doing it, it's a pain and I don't want to waste a bunch more sellotape (environmentalist), but I don't want to send it all the way to the US (I'm in the UK) then get something from them telling me it needs doing again. But if it doesn't have to be that exact, I can leave it.

I must have done 5 or 6 first time and they all looked a weird shape but the one I sent worked.

Did your supplier give any instructions?

Thanks, Grincher, very helpful. No, no instructions, haven't got to that stage yet.

It doesn't have to be that exact JC, particularly if you are going for a lace unit, because Lace has quite a lot of stretch in it. For thinskin it's a bit more important.

Thanks, Noah. Yes, it's lace.
