    How well does it hold up in heat? I live in Texas and it can get pretty hot. Would it start melting if used in 90-100°F weather?

    • @SpecialFxNerds
      @SpecialFxNerds  Před 8 lety +21

      Hey,
      honestly we never used our prosthetics in these kind of conditions but I would guess it won't melt on your face like a bar of chocolate. The only thing that might happen depending on ... how long you're wearing it, how long it will be exposed directly to the sun and how well it was applied etc. ... is that it will get pretty sticky and maybe it won't hold on to the skin that well anymore cause it gets hot and sweaty under the gelatin so it might come of quicker.
      I would recommend: take a small fan with you and keep it cool and dry as long as possible. And keep yourself or your actor as cool and dry as possible.
      And please let me know if I just told you bulls**t right now in case your prosthetic melted in 3 sec. after you stepped outside :D
      Than I´m really really sorry. But like I said can't tell you for sure cause we never used fx gelatin in these kind of conditions.

    • @rickjoslin9648
      @rickjoslin9648 Před 4 lety

      Good question. Im n texas as well and its so hot.

    • @DeadLightStudio
      @DeadLightStudio Před 2 lety +3

      Gelatin sets when cold 15°C/60°F and melts at 25°C-40°C/77°F-104°F. So if it stays in range it should okay to stay on your skin. The big enemy besides heat is probably your sweat.

  • @thorrnapple
    @thorrnapple Před 8 lety +3

    How do you paint gelatin prosthetics? Can you use regular acrylics or do you need to use spfx specific makeup?

    • @SpecialFxNerds
      @SpecialFxNerds  Před 8 lety +6

      Hey, I would be careful with just using simple acrylics cause to 90% they will crack. You can check out our very first tutorial "How to create a bloody hand" czcams.com/video/0p3QV4uU83c/video.html. We did´t use FX Gelatin in this one but the principle is the same. If you need materials maybe check this out:
      Make Up: www.amazon.com/Grimas-Water-Face-Paint-Palette/dp/B00LFOVVUI/ref=pd_sim_sbs_194_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41jVOHMLfWL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR115%2C160_&refRID=19W13NRR3GWB879402A1 (I would recommend water-based makeup cause you can wash it of much easier than oil-based)
      Fixing Powder: www.amazon.com/Grimas-Fixing-Powder-transparent-water-repellent/dp/B01D0SGH1Y?ie=UTF8&keywords=fixing%20powder%20grimas&qid=1465500462&ref_=sr_1_cc_2_a_it&s=aps&sr=1-2-catcorr
      (they are quite expensive since they are from the Netherlands)
      But if you want to pre paint it like in the tree bark tutorial. Take acrylic paint and mix it with a bit of PROS AIDE:
      www.amazon.com/Pros-Aide-Original-Adhesive-oz-Tronics/dp/B011M4QBX2?ie=UTF8&keywords=pros%20aide&qid=1465500953&ref_=sr_1_4_s_it&s=beauty&sr=1-4
      (use alcohol to clean the brush) That should do the job.
      Hope it was a bit helpful. :)

    Question: Will this become in any way, moldy? i heard that when used, u should use it that same day. I need it for a school project due in 2 days, and im not sure how long my teacher will keep it. it would suck if it rots. Please answer thank you~

    • @SpecialFxNerds
      @SpecialFxNerds  Před 8 lety +6

      +Aurora Angulo Hi, have you seen the "Gelatin Prosthetic" Tutorial (czcams.com/video/jp3PX-S934U/video.html) ? The prosthetic we made in this tutorial is still in our office and looks perfect. (since 5 months) If the FX gelatin is hard you can keep it for a long time. You can always reheat it to mold something new but like I already said as soon as the gelatin is hard you can keep it for a long time.
      Would love to see the project. You can send a picture if you want to.
      Good luck !!!

      @beatlebabe1969 Před 7 lety +1

      Danny trova whip up latex with a hand mixer, then once it's in the mold place it in the oven on warm

    • @SpecialFxNerds
      @SpecialFxNerds  Před 7 lety

      But be careful. Don't mix it up with your kitchen mixer and don't bake it in your kitchen oven. You should use an extra mixer and an extra oven cause that stuff is toxic and you shouldn't use the gear with any food after using it with the latex. And usually you add a bit more than just latex like foam agent, gel agent and cure agent. But since we don't have those ingredients and won't get them any time soon, we won't be able to do a tutorial on that. Sorry! But there are a lot of tutorials or recipes on the internet so research a little and just try it out. Good Luck :D

    • @M00FOX
      @M00FOX Před 7 lety +4

      At point 2.31 in video put it back in the microwave (8 seconds at a time) until it has melted again then add a drop or 2 of washing up liquid then whisk. It will increase in volume due to the air by up to 2 thirds. Pop it in fridge or freezer to set again. When you want to use it just re-melt in microwave and use it in the mold the same way you would normal gelatin. This is foam gelatin NOT latex it will act the same as a gelatin prosthetic but will be lighter

      @templebrown7179 Před 6 lety

      While ammonia is toxic in high concentration, it is also a gas and will not contaminate your oven. You might ruin your mixer if you don't clean it up soon after use, though.

    What is the glycerin good for? And is it like a soap kind of thing? Because I can't find the glycerin you've linked to on Amazon in any local shops here, just cleaning products who seem to have glycerin in it. I'm going to guess that won't work though?

    Hey, ich brauche demnächst für eine Con spitze Ohren, will die aber nicht erst am selben Morgen herstellen. Könnte man die schon ein paar Tage vorher machen und an dem Tag dann einfach aufstecken oder meinst du, die gehen beim ersten Abmachen schon kaputt? Latex hält ja viel aus, aber Gelatine?

    • @leonm.7059
      @leonm.7059 Před 6 lety

    If I wanted to color the prosthetic and I wanted it to match the person's skin tone, could I mix it with liquid foundation instead of pain? I'm going to use makeup after, but just seeing so I don't have to do so much coverage once it's on the face.

    • @SpecialFxNerds
      @SpecialFxNerds  Před 7 lety +1

      What kind of gelatin are you using? is it powder ? You have to make sure that you put it into the microwave bevor you use it for the first time. Let me know if you still have problems after doing all that. :)

    • @TheMisprizeme

      @mzde_falt0.074 Před 6 lety +1

      you can use the stove, fill a pot with water and put a tiny container inside with the gelatin mix.If it doesnt get hard you might be using the wrong gelatin.

  • @saphide
