This is definitely one of the coolest projects I've ever seen.

Timelapse was very satisfying

[@DoktorHalloween]

The toilet paper got my attention. Watching you sand it had my sympathy. BTW, once you mix resin you can add all kinds of things to it. Wood flour is a favorite, the super fine powder you can collect from sanding. It's free! You can mix it in to make a paste like peanut butter. Talcum powder. Saw dust. Sand. Bed sheet fabric. T-shirt fabric. Printed fabrics show through if they are the outermost layer.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you for the tips I will have to try.

[@conradcanderle3600]

Excellent work as always. Testors model glue, the orange and white tubes were a staple growing up making models, and it was *gulp* 49¢ back in the day

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Yes! and using toothpicks to apply the glue to the parts

[@scottrousseau496]

I don't know how I have missed these videos! I have the bell clicked! Crazy algorithm. Great Video Chris! Amazing work as always.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Scott

[@robindewelles4271]

Great video as always. Toilet paper never would have thought of that. Anything to make it less itchy! It looks so great! Almost makes me want to do some fiberglasssing. I think I'm happy to watch you do it.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Hahaha ya well I don't blame you the worst part is it really is tons of work I think anyway compared to woodworking or welding projects.

[@robindewelles4271]

@@HollywoodHaunter you make it look easy.

[@themanthemyth9867]

Thank you 😊

I don’t know why but this is so satisfying to watch. Can’t wait for the next video. Love your work

Great job Chris and Gina I can't wait to see it finished and in Harrison's room. May God bless your whole family.

A trick I used to do when I worked in the makeup effect shops and I was "tapping glass", is to wear multiple gloves over each other, then when they start to get too "furry", to just pull one off and then you've got a new set of gloves already on your hand (and you don't have to take the other ones off and try to get your sweaty hands into a new pair of gloves). I usually would wear two to three pairs of gloves at a time, depending on how long my application was. It works great because, after a while, your hands get pretty furry and it just gets in the way and becomes such a big mess. It's easier to just peel off one set of gloves and then have two fresh ones underneath them. Love your videos!😊🎃❤

[@bodygeeks8065]

Yay, I love the Fiberlass videos!!!

[@dwightjohnson6674]

Castle Grayskull look good okay love Dwight 👍

[@ve7yan]

tissue paper !!! that makes my day.

[@Joustra-Diaclonecom]

Amazing as usual 🤩 Keep going on!

[@shellsmith1737]

Love it! I cant wait to see the next video. Thats awesome the tissue paper worked.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

It was interesting to see the results now I'm wondering what else may work even better like dryer sheets or something lie that.

[@shellsmith1737]

@@HollywoodHaunter Yeah! I know I’ve used paper towels on book covers. I got the paper towels from a expensive hotel (my daughter went to a Convention for cosplay). The paper towels actually were cool looking and made the book look great for her cosplay. The vintage look with out take a real vintage book. She wanted to take my 1897 Dracula book 1st edition, I think a gave my daughter a crazy look because she said can me make one that looks vintage. 😂 It was so fun to do.

[@mrscb5303]

So amazing to see how it all comes together. Hope to see some of the paint process please 😁💚

[@TheQueenofDenile]

Very cool! You guys are amazing parents!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thank you very much Holly we're just trying to enjoy the little man before he grows up on us. 😊

[@TheQueenofDenile]

@@HollywoodHaunter Enjoy every moment of it. Mine are all grown up and it happened so fast like a dream.

[@chicken_beach]

Awesome! So satisfying :)

[@donnytucker]

It turned out nice.

[@snoepnr1]

he tissue is a great idea, what also could work well is japanese wasi cosi paper its ver strong and is flexible when wet, so it might give less wrinkles

[@tcan4959]

Loooving this but can’t wait for Gina to paint

[@dirk4926]

It's looking great

[@MorganLiebenberg-rx7ef]

I note you work out of the same cup yoi mix your resin in, I found if you pour your catalised resin out of the cup into a painters tray so it's more spread out you get more time before the redin start to gel compared to working out of the cup

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks, I will give this a try.

[@edtsch]

Awesome work, as always. Your son will wake up someday and realize that other kids don't have dads that do this! Fascinating idea, to totally wet out the strand before applying it. I noticed you kept a piece of the chopped strand on your table underneath the pieces as you applied the resin. Did that help them to not stick to the table so much? 8:03 LOL! The dentist at work! I don't know how toxic that gel coat is, but I was surprised you weren't wearing a VOC mask. Not meaning to be critical at all, and maybe the wind was helping you, but I can't stand being near that stuff for very long without wearing one.

[@williamjensen7042]

the how toos are my fav videos from you guys as a home haunter.... why no big displays in the yard anymore?

[@HollywoodHaunter]

The past few years leading up to October have been our busiest work months. Others have contacted us to build Halloween props for them so we end up being pretty slammed with work which is a good thing. We also moved from the house we were haunting at and don't have the same set up like we did there. We have been enjoying trick or treating and taking the little guy to see tons of haunts each year which has been cool but hopefully we'll get back at it here soon.

[@djjupiterotw]

[@m.maclellan7147]

Wonder if blue "shop towels" would work ?! Thicker then most paper towels, bur lot stronger then t.p. ?!

[@ojpistorius6369]

I love what you guys do but there is one question that keeps bouncing around in my head. What is your job ? Or are you guys just living the dream ? Or is this your job ? I couldn't be happier for you and I love watching you guys do what you do I just can't understand how you're doing it

[@HollywoodHaunter]

We make props and scenery and dabble in reselling vintage items. We enjoy creating KZbin content but just don't get the traffic a person needs to survive off on its own. Even though we have a baby size channel we will continue to share projects because it's fun and we hope it inspires others to create and finish their projects. Thanks for the feedback

Amazing work. 80s love! I am trying to find that same type of foam. Do you happen to know the name. Also where I can get it. I have a table project that I would like to make with it.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks, If you're referring to the white foam its just Polystyrene foam sheets and blocks and we get it from a few different local locations. Check out the second chapter in this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHUoJSAqputarc

[@jonathanadnitt7704]

Amazing video as always. May i ask what type of Gel coat you were using in the video. I`m in the middle of a project at the moment and wounded if i can get the equivalent here in Australia. Thanks.

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Hey Johnathan we are using a white Polyester Gel Coat. The one we used was made by Duratec but I think any Polyester gel coat can work.

[@jonathanadnitt7704]

@@HollywoodHaunter Thanks so much for your reply. I managed to track down the white polyester gel coat you recommended online in Australia, so cheers for that and i look forward to your next creations.

[@kurtkyre]

I'm thinking about how I don't rinse my brushes in a coffee cup anymore as I watch you pour that catalyst from an old water bottle...

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Haha guess I could give it a little label but it's pretty smelly stuff

[@devilman2465]

Do you think it would be possible to hard-coat foam tombstones with just tissue and resin? (perhaps after a layer of paint to protect the foam?)

[@HollywoodHaunter]

I was thinking it may be possible but then I guess I'd just hard coat it with a couple layers of foam safe epoxy instead. It would cost a little more but be less trouble.

[@Foxxy999]

sure but I'm still trying other options to better results

[@kookied2594]

Question: can I fiberglass over the tile mortar hard coat on my Styrofoam props???

[@HollywoodHaunter]

I think you could

[@kookied2594]

@@HollywoodHaunter thank you, another few questions.... 😜 How many coats/ layers of mortar do you all put on the pumpkins and how well do they hold up outdoors? Do I paint after tile mortar then seal, or mortar, seal, paint, seal again? Also, do you all not find monster mud to be a good outdoor finish even after sealing?? So many questions I know, you guys are just my only source with similar outdoor projects made of styrofoam. Thank you sooooo much for your guidance and wisdom!!!! You guys are awesome 😎

[@MONSTERMISFITS]

A year ago that was about 2k worth of tolet paper 😂😂

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Ain't that the truth our Costco greeter would say good morning there's no toilet paper as you showed your membership card for like a month straight.

[@MONSTERMISFITS]

@@HollywoodHaunter lol it's a shame we rely on something as simple as that

[@yummyklown9226]

You shouldn't keep that in a water bottle.....little kids, or some adults would see that and think "Ooh water!".

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Thanks Yummy Clown 😂They would have to be one thirsty person to go for an old dirty bottle sitting with other containers of resins, paints, and fiberglass materials. Not to mention the strong chemical gas odor of that stuff.
