Ann,
I've formed Fosshape around a mannequin arm. Around a foot it would probably be great as part of a moccasin insert.

I sometimes use a hair dry for a more focused direct stream of heat. Has anyone tried to form Fosshape around a mannequin foot? I have been thinking it could be a good support for moccasins.

Hello:
At the Philadelphia Museum of Art we have used Fosshape for many projects, and have found that different steam and heat tools produce different results. We typically use the regular head of a Jiffy steamer to set Fosshape.
What tools and techniques do others use?
Many thanks,Laura Mina
