I would love to make a silicone half mask in the future. Latex is fun, but I want to try something different.

I love watching how things are made/done. I know it would've made the video longer but I'd've loved to've see everything done in real time. Regardless...awesome video!

This is really amazing. Thank you so much. I really appreciate you showing how you attach the hair. I thought it might be possible to use tube hardware silicone to attach hair, but seeing you do it gives me the confidence to try it. I want to use one of those Chinese produced silicone male torso plates and add wig hair to produce a sort of bigfoot/werewolf type upper body covering. Do I need to do anything to the chest plate/shirt before I use the tube silicone and add the hair? Any pointers or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you again!

Hey Alan? I’ve asked around on instagram about what to do regarding molds that grow, well, mold and so far all they seem to agree on is soapy water with a chip brush should fix that. I guess my question is how do I avoid plaster molds from getting moldy, to begin with? Plus, besides Clorox wipes (which is what I used), what else would you recommend if it comes to cleaning mold off?

@StiltbeastStudios

Жыл бұрын

clean with vinegar actually, not just soapy water- and to keep them from getting moldy put them in a garbage bag with a few silica packs.

When releasing your mold try using low air compressor

no, it degrades latex. its inert to silicone- many silicones can even have PJ mixed in while you combine components.
