With your style of mixer you do not need to “back Bowl” the dead spot is in the middle of your whisk. Put two ping pong balls in the whisk, during the time you would usually back bowl-slowly raise and lower the mixing whisk. If you can. Your foam looked a little over baked you could mostly likely cut the bake time by 20-30 minutes. If you want a lower rise foam that will flow a bit easier, cut your rise time by another minute, extend your speed 2 time by 3-4 minutes. (This is subject to your conditions) Pour the foam in the lowest part of the mold, fill as necessary and then rotate the mold. Gently place your positive into the mold and let it settle on its own. Place your wood block horizontally on the positive, make sure the block extends past the edges of the mold, this way when the mold is strapped you only get downward pressure for better edges. No stress on the sides of the mold. Slowly strap and tighten.
You can also drill a 1/4” hold in the center of the eye and nose where the flashing is. It will relieve hydraulic pressure for thinner edges and provide venting for excess moisture
So I bought a random brand of latex foam kit from a distributor, didn't know exactly how to use it and I just picked this random video on CZcams to figure out how this material works.. and then 0:48 comes and.. HALLELUJAH! That's exactly what I bought..
Du bist so eine inspirierende Person & ich finde es gut das du auch zeigst wenn man etwas schief geht
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE CAREER?!? Youre amazing! Please keep it up🤤
I like your attitude and willingness to learn from your own mistakes. Good job
I think you did a great job. I like to make Foam Latex to. Something that I always use is a injection gun, and I never do get any bubbles. So just an ideal if you ever feel like doing Foam Latex again
Try mixing alum with potassium carbonate into a latex solution. First put 15 ml of latex into a cup ( I've been using a 50ml slightly flexible plastic cut for my experiments). Then dilute 2.5ml of potassium carbonate in 3ml of water and then quickly stir it into the latex. This will make the latex strongly alkali and so resistant to body acid and will stop the latex instantly setting when an acidic substance is added. The add 2.5ml of alum to 3ml of water and stir in. Add this solution to to the latex and quickly stir in. When it reacts, the results will be a bit sloppy at first and will need to be left overnight. I demould with an artists knife. Use what ever is appropriate. It can take several days to fully dry but a hair dryer might help. It produces a fairly ridged hard foam. Once you have produced a satisfying test sample, you can then go on to trying to make usable shapes and forms with it. It is great using pre-fabricated materials but what if you knew the science and could improvise new solutions.
thanks for these videos!!!
You're adorable and I learned so much!
Yes!
Thanks for sharing. I've wanted to give this a go ever since watching the show, Face Off.
Did you make the tutorial for gelatin prosthetics and I'm the one that can't find it ? And for the oven, why can't it be a regular home oven. You can't cook anymore after using it to bake the prosthetic or is it just because during the cooking it's very bad to breath near it ?
is possible to make a full over the head foam latex mask ? rather then just face appliences ? thanx.
So where did you find an oven to use that isn't meant for cooking?
Polite Q
I think they mean not one you’re gonna eat food out of.
I use a cheap mini oven for crafts and don’t eat anything from it
You can use a nice big 10 tray dehydrator
Hi! Is it necessary to use the oven? Thx!
I've never have done it this way.
Harry Potter squad here lmao 😂 and future Sfx artist
Hi! Does latex feel more like skin than silicone?
This girls has Beautiful hair color
Do you think you could get by with a blender instead of a mixer? I am wanting to get into foam latex, and have been working with regular latex for years, but I really want to get into this, and this is the first video I found that has shown me anything. Thank you for that!
Hey Brian, did you get an answer for this?
I used an old blender when I first started learning. It was messy and didn’t yield professional results…but it worked!
Hi, do you happen to know if I can use plastidip on foam latex muscle suits?
"Do not use your home oven." Any suggestions around this issue?
I've seen someone make their own foam oven out of a pvc pipe frame wrapped with aluminium foil and they used a heat gun for the baking
You might be able to find a Makerspace near you with an oven that you can use
Hotel oven 😂
Use mask making liquid latex instead
Portable electric oven possibly, I’m also curious
Where can I get one of those bars to put into the face cast??
Omg I felt so bad when the first one failed I cringed D: I hate when that happens
How can i figure out mixing times for a 300gm batch?
I hope to make a King Kong for stop-motion.
I've failed so much that i'm sure to get it right eventually.
Random, but I'm wondering where ur from originally? U have a very beautiful accent!
Thx4 the tutorial & details. I hope2 try this very soon!!
That's not "random" at all. I think the word you are looking for is "incidentally".
Polite Q that’s not “polite” at all. I believe the word you are looking for is, “uncouth”, or maybe even, “boorish”.
See, if you were shooting for constructive criticism, it’s understandable, but you should consider tone. Yes, your correction could be very valid. “Incidentally” (one of my favorite words) works very well there, but “random” could as well. “Odd, unusual, or unexpected” could describe the question just as well from the author’s perspective.
Also, you missed a comma. 😉
Mitchell Krik and yet you felt the need to take the time to repeat it as well as wonder why I did the same. 🤔
Mitchell Krik again, you’re still replying. Take your own advice, maybe? 🤷🏼♀️ I understand and appreciate the intentions, but we all know what comes from good intentions. Pot, please meet kettle.
Mitchell Krik DUDE, LEARN WHAT “HYPOCRITICAL” MEANS! 🙄
My foam came out like cool whip upon mixing lol
Question I have some scars on my skin that I want to stamp on to paper.. I can build layers with latex and peel off. But dont know how to tranfer on paper, any ideas?
photograph it. then print out.
Do you have to bake it?
YES!! it will never set properly if it is not baked.
Where did you get the description? I highly doubt that latex must be baked at all...I´d rather assume it loses all of it´s structural strength with it
not regular latex, foam latex
If I cant use my oven AGH darn what do I even use, poot
Top englisch 🔝
What does "Backbowl the mixture" mean???
I have the same question!
me too!!
it means to turn the bowl the opposite way the mixer is moving if it goes left push the bowl right if it goes right push it left it helps get the air out !
Forbidden whipped cream ._.
She sounds like Draculas daughter
you are so cute.....
negative of the fake face and the positive of your face. understood
Cheaper to buy. Don't use a home oven? That's me out
moondust944 -ikr?? I really want to use latex prosthetic since they’re easier to reuse. Can’t afford a whole new oven
Then buy them 🤷
Some people want to be able to make their own stuff tho.
Also: if you want to make prosthetics at home, silicone might really be the better alternative because it doesn't need to be baked
