Can anyone recommend a type to cast a thin mold over a ball and be able to "carve" it after curing is done?

You might want to avoid polyester resin as it doesn't fully harden when exposed to air.

Im a little confused,
Do you want your end result to be a solid sphere or a hollow sphere??
That will make a difference.
