That rubbing alcohol wipe out step is incredible! The detail that immediately jumps out is really surprising for a guy like me who has never been involved in this industry
Re-watched these videos and listened to them in the background at least 5 times there's something so relaxing and interesting watching these behind the scenes tutorials and making monsters.
This video takes me back to my college and early post college years. I actually learned this process as a fiberglass tech in the art department of an amusement "theme" park - King's Dominion. Our process was slightly different since the final object (singing mushroom, Scooby Doo, Yogi Bear, giant 6 foot candy apple, what ever) was made of fiberglass and rigid, so the mold itself had to be made in latex. The original was sculpted in clay; the latex was built up in layers, just as you did with the plaster, but then canvas reinforced plaster (like working fiberglass) was laid over the outside of the latex blob. The plaster acted as support for the latex reverse mold when laying up the fiberglass. Curing fiberglass generates quite a bit of heat, so we always sprayed the plaster support interior with vegetable oil to keep it from sticking to the latex. Once the polyester had hardened the latex could be peeled out of the fine detail of the "part". I remember in particular a classic Roman lion's face with stylized hair for his mane. It was a brute to get all the polyester into the intricate detail of the hair and even more brutal to peel the latex from the part once it was cured. If you damaged the latex mold, you could recast it from an existing part or if you were really careful with peeling the latex from the original clay sculpt, you could recast from that.
I haven't been there in a while.
Well that's actually a free MasterClass right here.. Thanks a lot brother
I want to thank you for having all this content available! I just made my first latex mask by following these instructional videos just in time for Halloween. Thank you Ed!
Thank you Ed for taking the time to make and post these video's. It's much appreciated.
The eyes, the eyes....
Thanks Ed, just beautiful.
16:08 He looks like Tom Cruise, don't you think? (with fake hair and beard) 🤣
He does! I can't stop seeing that now. makes it better.
I was just about to write this !!! i keep thinking he will start laughing
now i cant unsee this!
haha wow
What a journey this mask tutorial was for me. Thank you so much. I will forever remember you as the one who taught me. Can't wait to share what I create with you!! 🎃
Wonderful! Thanks so much for the message and the kind words. Wishing you all the best on your projects and let us know how it goes. Hello from the Distortions crew!
Oh how I wish I had this tutorial a few years ago! I love the work you guys do! I hope Making Monsters comes back!
I hope the final Halloween mask episode is not the end of the tutorials, they may be few and far between but they are still excellent.
I particularly like the sculpture tips ones. keep up the marvelous work.
There will be many more to come! Thanks so much, we appreciate it.
Thank you Ed Edmunds! That was super neat! Incredible mask too!
We hope you enjoy the latest episode of Monster Lab! Remember to check out other Monster Lab videos for Sculpting, Mold making, and other monster creation tips.
where could I get fw inc ?
DistortionsUnlimited u can even use flour
Hobby lobby or similar
when you say fw ink what type of ink do you mean? i have their inks but they're liquid acrylics basically
What about adding talcom before pouring latex so latex doesn't stick to plaster?
Ed is a hero
LOVE these Monster Labs... more please I could watch these all day.... beats working.
I must applaud your craftsmanship.
Wow wish I had a tenth of Eds talent. Amazing tutorials. Thank you.

Hell is like an onion, it has layers
Othiel were you Blue Devil Shrek yesterday?
Looks like an Andorian from Star Trek
is awesome your mask's and sculping lml ♡
This is awesome. I want to make a Tick mask, but don't have the tools or space tp make one.
Great series by the way
So cool! I just subscribed!...from San Diego, Cali.
I would pay a lot for that it's brilliant!
Why won't he put the masks on??? :C
Daniel Patiño because it's more than just a mask if you would be serious collector you would know
Trve Kvlt Daniel should still wear it at least once or what’s the point?
Very cool
these videos are great thank you for making them! when I was little my aunt, who was Elmo in sesame street live, took me into a mask shop/ lab in sarasota or sebring florida (not quite sure) they also had foam things and i remember i thought it smelled awful in there but I didnt want to leave. I mention that place so often wishing i could go back and then i thought.... maybe i could try making them since i was so amazed by it and still think about it after all these years! still want to take my kids to see a place like that but maybe they can watch me try to do it until i find one :)
Thats an amazing story! Yes you should try to make masks, im sure it would bring back all sorts of memories. The smell of clay, latex, plaster, and paint certainly do that!
Amazing
Excellent ! ^^
Nice one Ed, thank you sir! I have been using Aleene's Flexible Stretchable Fabric Glue for hair on my own sculpted latex masks, but its a bit expensive and only comes in small 4 oz bottles vs using store bought clear silicone - I will be using that next round!
awsome video :)
Nice!
Good job bro keep it up
Love this series, found them today and started at 9-12. Gonna check out the earlier vids.
BTW, when you attached the white hair, the mask looked like a zombie Andorian :D
I know!
It beautiful
demasiado trabajo para una mascara, voy empezar desde hoy haber si para el proximo año la tengo terminada. impresionante mister
The pupils go on and I'm like, "He's looking at me!"
The face Laufey will make if he was invited to a tea party and seeing Loki who wore a dress
You're like the Bob Ross of horror. I thoroughly enjoyed that and I wasn't even looking to watch a video on mask making.
Simply amazing job thanks for sharing, regards....
Thank you so much for your words and support!

Mask making is something I've always wanted to try since I was a little boy, but never tried it with the feeling I'd be no good at it haha. But enjoy watching this sort of thing nonetheless. This whole series has been very entertaining and weirdly relaxing haha.
