This is exactly how I built my wife. Starting with a pair of lulumelon yoga pants and an underamour long sleeved shirt. She is beautiful and smart (compared to me) and she is a far better partner to me than my first wife whom I had found in a dumpster behind a Forever22 in Port Huron, MI. I maintain, to this day, that those paternity tests were faked and those child mannequins are not mine.

I fill each finger wait the time, and put a hole and wait the time, and they just come out with some really short stubby fingers or skinny flat looking fingers. What am I doing wrong??? Or the gloves stick so badly they are NOT coming off.??? Help

Great idea!!! Thanks I'm just about to start Halloween decorations... I'm using this for sure. I'm going to try adding some paint into the water.

I've been busy, now working from the side of a bed - (so not me). I finally convinced the family to give me the heat gun and soder iron - oh lawd 😱 I've finished putting together all my 9 volt diode pieces, just have the motion sensor light projects to finish. Filled up 5 thirty gallon trash bags of heat fused backer rod vines all in need of priming with thinned contact cement and painted. I heat fused a ton of pool noodles together for an entrance arch - yet to be assembled. I pretty much have heat fused everything I could think of at this point. I then started on the thinned latex skull make over and added the exaggerated dropped jaws. They where really fun to make and are now so heavy! I bought plumbers strapping to anchor them - I figured I'd screw the strapping to the back of the skull and then on to a support rod to firmly hold it in place? I haven't quite finished them as far as painting and sealing them. I have 9 days left, a garage full of supplies yet to be built and a bare yard - I'm going to get it done - right - lol - ?!? 🤦‍♀️😱🤦‍♀️

Hey have you tried using mold release spray inside the glove

I used the Great Stuff on/off switch this week. I didn't clean it well enough and stuff wasn't coming out well. So I cut the tube off and got back at it. I should have bought Locktite. I had a lot of waste. How many hands do you think you could make from a can of Locktite? Do you think they would be strong enough to hold something when mounted? Or if needed put some wire in the glove for added strength? My mind is just reeling at all the possible things I could make with Locktite. Thanks for the video!!

heat gun shaping is a last resort and imprecise- far easier the thinner the foam is as well so squishing a 3" thick palm is not going to be easy, but you can shape the fingers.
