Napoleon enjoys a well earned "fantasy" after completing the "packing" of the hot clay over the entire center body surface. Only the two front fenders remain for "packing". He used gloves because the clay is 160 degrees and can blister your hands if left there for more than a few seconds. After the clay cools, it will be very hard for final surfacing and eventual mold making.
Napoleon and Stas continue to surface the "model buck" (made from wood and foam and on casters). The first application of clay is called "packing" the clay. It is hard, physical work smashing the clay onto and into the foam so that it will be secure for final shaping.
