Well done! Great job overall but fantastic job on the symmetry of those check bones with the small brown markings. Are those elf freckles? I'm gonna call them elf freckles haha.

I was curious if you've ever known anyone who has used plasti dip (the actual dip variety) to make fabric rigid similar to fiberglass or paper mache. I saw that you are sponsored by them and crafty, so thought you'd have a better idea than others, and any search involving "sculpture and plasti dip" gives me results for the sprays used with foam or for car projects. I thought with fabric I could cut, fold, and pin into place around forms then dip it or paint it on. I was thinking that a porous material like batting or spongy packing foam would soak up the dip and dry maintaining it's shape. I would expect it to remain pliable, but would also be rigid enough to hold/return to it's shape. I wouldn't expect thinner/less porous fabric to hold itself up on its own , but in layers like paper mache, I suspect it could make a pretty formidable candy coated shell. I'd like to know if you've ever heard of anyone using this product in this way. I would think if the technique would work, it'd have numerous applications in cosplay, particularly in lightweight form fitting armor, yet I'm not seeing anything about people doing so online. For my uses it wouldn't need to be pretty, I'm just wondering if it's possible.
@DownenCreativeStudios4 ай бұрын
I have seen some creators apply Plasti Dip to fabric before, but I haven’t used this kind of application myself. I would imagine it would remain flexible, given the nature of the cured product. I’d compare it to work gloves with rubber-coated fingers- slightly more rigid than the fabric, but still fairly flexible.
@Peleski4 ай бұрын
Excellent, though 2mm is so thin! When I think of eva foam, it's the rigidity of the thicker foam that draws me to it. But still, it's good to know the limitations of Cricut. No silver bullet.
@rosariacarlostella91055 ай бұрын
I love it!!! Great tutorial. May I ask, would you use the same technique using a live model to cover in duck tape in order to make a dress form, then continue on as you did, then fill it with expanding foam? Would the fosshape keep its shape under pressure or would you need thicker layers? Have you tried filling it with expanding foam? Thanks for your video ❤
@DownenCreativeStudios5 ай бұрын
Fosshape needs extremely high heat to shape, and so I would highly advise against applying heat when it is on a live model. The steam is very dangerous. You could fill the form with something to stabilize the shape. If you check out Wonderflex.com, they have some videos and helpful tips for working with this versatile material. ☺️

From a little research I understand that the bigger you make the shell and thus the more it shrinks the stiffer the final result.
@DownenCreativeStudios8 ай бұрын
The more steam/heat that is applied, the more it can harden, which requires a little more material so the fosshape fibers aren't stressed when they shrink. But it's still possible to have too much material. There is a limit to the amount the material will shrink/hardness.
@allanpennington9 ай бұрын
Is the product stiff enough to use expanding foam to make a more solid dress form or would you need to add plaster bandages to the outer before casting?

you should consider Creature Cast with a critter spray gun, much easier to apply and sandable to an extent and best of all no vapor FUMES, I still use a respirator though with any spraying

I’ve used Creature Cast for Eva foam projects, but I’ve found that it takes much longer to build up enough layers, and my shop space is t suited for using a critter gun. Maybe one day. For quick projects I’ll use this if the weather permits.

@@DownenCreativeStudios no worries, yeah hand brushing with creaturecast is too much, they do sell a "thickener" NEO-THICK , it helps alot for brushing jobs but getting the ratio to the right consistency of neothick and creature cast for critter gun has been trial and error, stopping to degunk the nozzle, lol but i think thats more due my air compressor being too small to deliver enough PSI, thank you for reply, cheers!

Interesting to see that plasti dip pretty consistently showed those little holes on the EVA 70 foam... I was planning on using that type of foam on a project I'm working on. I wonder if some sort of layer below the plasti dip could help prevent that? Maybe I'll test some stuff out. Thanks for the comparison video!
