sorry to hear you had problems with your sculpting.
this is my speciality, so much faster than tipping!
the 2 most important things are using the best forms and knowing how to pre-taillour them.
i use creative nail design sculpting forms, but ezflow and opi and nsi do decent forms.
to get a neat fit, without digging the form into the clients hypernychium (skin under free edge), you need to sometimes cut a slightly deeper "moon shape" out of the form so that it fits around and under the free edge better.
sorry, its hard to write it, rather than show you.
also, make sure your mix ratio is not too wet, or it will run all over the slipery form, making it a difficult job.
be aware when you are sculpting that you are responsible of making the free edge, dont get carried away, or you will have a load of unnecessary filing.
good luck
