[@rmc2414]

I would like to see a video of making the eyes!

[@smoothon]

[@Exar_Kun]

This is amazing!! Incredible work!!! 17:45 does that machine in the background left have a flux capacitor?!?

[@smoothon]

Yes it does!

[@pablobecerra1995]

Dope 😎👌

[@smoothon]

Thanks for watching!

[@srgtjyn2765]

Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!!

[@smoothon]

Thanks for watching!

[@unwhite1960]

i think just use EZ-Brush vac silicone will be perfect for making SLIMER !!! its translucent green color!!

[@smoothon]

That's a good thought. We wanted more of an opaque color and there is also some Silc Pig Electric so that Slimer glows under UV light.

[@peteraffinass]

@Adam Savage needs to see this!

[@smoothon]

We would love to have him and the gang swing by for a visit someday! He can see it in person.

[@AdrianMarchand-rz1pg]

Where do you get the Power Mesh fabric?

[@smoothon]

Hello, You can purchase it from one of our distributors. www.smooth-on.com/distributors/

[@Valkonnen]

How much would one finished casting cost me?

[@smoothon]

How much would it cost for you to make one?

[@Valkonnen]

@@smoothon I was asking about the cost of the materials used to make this prop.

[@Snimbudio]

How do all these chemicals smell?

[@matthewsinclair8751]

You know what's cool? This guy spent over 100 hours making something cool that exists, you know what you did?...nothing.

[@smoothon]

Smell can be hard to say. Some materials have no odor and some can have an odor. It will all depend on the specific material.

[@Valkonnen]

The reason why one would use silicone would be for movement or realistic translucency of flesh. For this prop, as in the original in the film, Latex is what should be used to construct this . Using silicone where they very properties of silicone are not need is wasteful and unnecessary.

[@smoothon]

There are a number of different ways to make these props. We used silicone because it will last much longer than latex but it also gives us very realistic feeling fatty tissue areas as well as the increased physical properties of the silicone. There are always many different ways to make these amazing pieces and we love the process! Thanks for watching!
