    Hi, Great tutorial. Very much appreciated! I was wondering if to use Plasti Paste 2 together with fiberglass.. Will that work? To give extra strength. Or is the PP2 enough on it's own? &How many trial units will do for a human sized face mask (+with goat horns)? Doing a Venetian style Faun mask. Thanks! Have a great day🤟🏻

    Thank you for your content! Excellent work and helpful tips! I wanted to mention that I think the filters that you’re using are not for VOCs. I could be wrong but I thought it would be worth saying. I e worked with a lot of resin and use the 3M 6001 filters for organic vapors

    Mold Max Stroke is one. It's a tin cure silicone, made by smooth-on as well. It's also measured out by weight so you'll want a scale for best results. But it's about half the price of a platinum silicone like rebound. theengineerguy.com/mold-max-stroke/

    I had an old no liner tan safari jacket that I was going to throw out so I thought to experiment on with wax. I used pure bees wax and brushed it on like you. Used a hair dryer to melt it in because i couldn't find my heat gun. I shouldn't have been but was genuinely shocked at how stiff it was, and blotchy. I am still working on getting as uniform an appearance as I can. Not sure I will keep it even after all the work.

    Don't use Naphtha! It has serious "Health Issues", which cause irreversible conditions. Use odourless Turpinode, it has less concerns for your health and always when using solvents on your sculptures, be in a well ventilated area. Temporary use of masks doesn't cut it. The odor is still present in your sculpture and in the air.

  • @Cullens_Workshop

    Depends on the type of leather and what you're goals are. If you looking for a conditioning oil over water proofing I'd use some conditioning oil. amzn.to/3PxpVOm or some neets foot oil amzn.to/3PWb7u6. But you can use wax on suede and veg tan leather it will darken the leather a lot and stiffen it as well. Sno-Seal amzn.to/3PZk5XB is also another option, I feel like it works just as well as wax, but leaves the leather more flexible.

    One other question I have that I can’t seem to find an answer to is, using Monster Clay Medium and heating to be able to easily shape with hands, fingers & small spoon shaped tool, how long will the clay stay in that malleable state before hardening to having to scrape to shape?

  • @Cullens_Workshop
    @Cullens_Workshop Жыл бұрын

    it's gonna depend on the ambient temp of the room. what I usually do is scoop the soft liquidy clay into a silicon meatloaf tray what will give it space too cool. That will usually last about an hour. clay on the model will vary based on thickness. but you can hit it with a heat gun, which warms the clay on a deeper level than the butane torch which just heats the surface.

    You don't remove the clay. you're next step would be to add silicone to it to create a negative of the object. there's a couple options depending on your mask shape. you can create a one peice mold or a multi part mold. like this kzread.info/dash/bejne/f2iXsLlmpKS0h9o.html
