Hi everyone

I have been asked to make a fingerprint necklace for a customer. I have worked with PMC before, but never done a fingerprint. I have read the various threads on here about it, and just have a couple of questions I couldn't find answered.

Do I need to use badger balm on the childs finger, or would it be better not to? (The child is 10 so I know he has developed fingerprints)

Is it really as simple as making a shape, and then just impressing a finger into it? or is there an important step I don't know about?

Any help always gratefully received

Thanks
