Tough teeth for 3d shark head sculpture at Denver Aquarium
This head was made for the Downtown Denver Aquarium. It sits on top of a donation box so it sees its fair
share of abuse. The teeth are what break constantly. Even though they had metal pins in them.
We removed the existing teeth, cut holes into the fiberglass gums, cut teeth from 1/4 inch aluminum
plate, sculpted them to be more teeth like but not dangerously sharp, epoxied the teeth back into the
gums, used nail polish to repaint the gums and lastly painted the teeth with porcelain bath tub paint.
Sometimes the most work goes into the smaller projects!
