    I love how you don't make this intimidating like some other people do, they act like its the end of the world if you get a little messy and absolutely loose their minds if you even touch the plaster a tiny bit with your hands.

    I've just found these videos looking up how to make masks out of plastic, but this has awoken the sculptor in me. These videos are amazing, as is your work. I know exactly what I'm going to be doing as soon as I can buy the materials.

    Thanks, Ed. Finally, someone that could care less about the outside of the mold! So many people will show you their smoothing techniques and lament the cuts from the sharp plaster. I like it rough and not sharp, but I don't bother to spit shine them. Thumbs up!

    you can use burlap to add strength to mold! add 3 lays to mold after do detail bush soaking barlap in your plaster. ultcal 30 what you nomal use to make foam molds if you plan to run foam in it.

    I am so glad to have found your channel! Although I wish I had found it sooner. I'm really looking forward to learning how to get all of that clay out of your plaster mold. I tried to make a latex mask for my son (he wanted to be Sloth from the movie Goonies) and it turned out okay, not as perfect as I had hoped, but I really struggled getting the clay out of the mold. I had followed another CZcamsrs advise and used wood glue as a barrier between the clay and the plaster and it really did not work well for me at all, I will use the gloss Kryolan paint from now on. Can't wait for the next video :)
