Yes, tooling is only for plugs and molds. buffer it, smooth it, and like Ed
said wax it several times, take your time do it for a couple  of days, if
not everything stick together and it is all ruined.
I recommend you to make a practise set of small pieces, molds and plugs it
is like cooking, receite is one thing the "hand" is another.
Good luck
