It's really funny if you would have asked me I would have loved to do this. I love peeling elmer's glue off my hands hahahahaha.

[@ThunderStruck15]

Wow, someone who has more acrylic paint than I do!

[@mamaj6028]

Use a rubber glove and some spray foam. Spray the foam into the glove lightly as it expands, add more as necessary. You can also carve it after removing the glove when it dries.

[@cherylgoodacre8352]

You are so funny! Now whatcha going to do with One Hand??? 🖐🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@frankyavery]

I love how you went from genuinely uncomfortable to childlike wonder ha.

[@darciaglaucerica]

i came across this video because i wanna make a fake ARM. im looking at my glue bottle like "will you be enough????"

[@kercy.3490]

Does the glove keep the general shape of the hand? For example, if I put the glue on my hand and let it dry with my fingers spread far apart, does it dry and keep that form after being stuffed, or would it be more like latex gloves(I would like to use this for some cosplay)? Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@IamNickDClements]

Yeah, it more or less keeps the shape, but it is pretty malleable before it dries, so you can adjust its shape quite a bit after the fact. But if you held you hand in a claw shape for example, the glove would come off as a claw. Which should give a better results than if you molded it straight and then tried to bend it into a claw... however that would probably be challenging to stuff... oh, but you could try filling it with sand, and once it dries, just dump out the sand.

[@IamNickDClements]

So for making a hand with the fingers spread as far a part as possible, you could hold you hand with your fingers stretched, but that would probably get pretty tiring, so you should be able to just hold your hand relaxed, and then after you stuff it, prop it up with something between the fingers to keep them stretched, and then once it fully dries, it'll hold that shape.

[@kercy.3490]

@@IamNickDClements Thank you so much for replying! I'll keep this all in mind for anything I may need it for in the future. Again thank you so much, you're a huge inspiration to me and I heavily appreciate you taking the time out of your day to reply :)

[@IamNickDClements]

@@kercy.3490 Any time, happy to help! And thank you very much :)

[@SohaStar13]

This is awesome! Are you able to bend the fingers into different poses after?

[@IamNickDClements]

Yeah, it's quite flexible when it first starts to dry. The trick is finding a way to keep it in the position you want until it fully dries. Could likely tape it in place with masking tape.

[@sprinklemerja5821]

I know this is 7 months ago this was pretty coolto see but how long did it take to stiffen after it was painted and everything if you remember Thanks for sharing 📱🥁💖💫

[@IamNickDClements]

Only a few hours I think. It actually got pretty brittle, (I stepped on it and broke the pinky... but it's glue, so I just glued it back on with more glue lol) but becomes flexabal again if it gets warm. You're welcome, thanks for asking. That's the cool thing about smaller channels, even on older videos, it's pretty easy to catch new comments. :)

[@TheMMFamily9]

Outside on a good day...thats where I'd do this

I am with you on the "sit around and wait...uncomfortably?!" nope factor. Fun video! Thank you!

[@rojangalvez]

What kind of paint did you use? I used acrylic paint and it dissolves/destroys the glue mold.

[@IamNickDClements]

That's very odd, yeah they were just Americana acrylic paints.

[@davidritch5921]

Great video!

[@sarakyomugisha5953]

[@voldamorth5542]

I did watch the whole vid and really injoyed it but how Many coats of glue did you use on your hand at the end when you succeeded on the clear hand

[@IamNickDClements]

I'm pretty sure it was around 4-5 coats of glue.

[@voldamorth5542]

Ok cool thank you!😃

[@mikaneko761]

This is awesome🤩!!! I will do it too❤

[@TeaFetischist]

Which exactly glue did you use? Elmer's glue "All"? Or something more specific? I also wanted do to some glue hands, but in my country there is so Elmer's glue in the drugstores ;_; So I have to buy it online- just to make sure I am not buying the wrong one! Thank you so much and also for this great video

[@IamNickDClements]

Yup, just a regular bottle of Elmer's Glue-All, but any PVA-based glue should work, so it's doesn't necessarily have to be name brand Elmer's, You your country has some generic brand of PVA glue, that should work just fine. And you can probably do it with other glues too, but PVA is flexible, which is what allows it to be pealed off, and it's also non-toxic so there is no worries about having it all over you hand.

[@greenwind777]

You should try this with rubber cement.

[@cam1411]

How many layers did you do in total?

[@IamNickDClements]

I think I stopped at 5 or 6.

[@rileynapier9514]

Would Tacky Glue work the same, as long as its non-toxic

[@IamNickDClements]

It should work, but tacky glue tends to be much more flexible, so it might not hold it's form very well.

[@amyamira99]

@@IamNickDClements haha..I would help you motivate

[@samueldrawings5745]

But is it good for tattoo training?

[@IamNickDClements]

Not really, once the Elmer's glue fully dries, it get pretty rigid and brittle. So it would just crack and shatter if you poke it. Maybe shortly after drying, when it's still somewhat flexible...

[@agarcia5754]

is it possible to like...pose it? old the fingers maybe?

[@IamNickDClements]

Yup, it's very pliable when first talking it off, and for some time while it dries, so as long as you can keep it in the position you want it, maybe with tape, or even wire or foil, once it fully dries, it'll stay however you posed it.

[@agarcia5754]

@@IamNickDClements thanks for your help!

[@inkberryinfusion]

Can you use clear Elmer’s glue and get the same results?

[@IamNickDClements]

I would think so. I wonder how clear it would be. It would be a bit harder to remove it without the powder step, but it could probably be done. Just have to wait longer for it to be really dry.

[@somniori9118]

Do you think you could do the same thing with mod podge?

[@IamNickDClements]

I don't see why not, it's basically the same, a PVA glue. It often just has a more glossy finish than Elmer's. I think Elmer's is used for this because it's so easily accessible, but also, very few chemicals, kid safe, etc., so no real risk with having a large quantity, in contact with a large amount of skin, for an extended period of time.

[@somniori9118]

@@IamNickDClements ok thanks! :D

[@ronaldalm8812]

Water proof??

[@IamNickDClements]

If you sprayed a clear coat on afterwords, that should make it at least water resistant. But on it's own, not so much. I just tested it, ran it under some water for a few seconds, and pretty much immediately it started getting soft.

[@download3419]

wow!!!

[@Captaintoymantis]

Has anyone thought about trying to fill up a rubber glove with Elmers glue and making a fake hand that way?

[@IamNickDClements]

It would likely never dry unfortunately. Maybe gorilla glue, as it can be activated with water. Or some kind of 2 part silicone or resin, something where curing is done through a chemical reaction and not air. Cement or plaster maybe. All that said, the cool part about painting the glue on your hand, is that it picks up all of the fine detail of your hand. Lines, texture, fingerprints, so the result is something surprising realistic.

Wouldn’t it be easier to dip ur hand in it? Or, dip a glove and let dry?

[@IamNickDClements]

If you want to buy a gallon jug of Elmer's glue, yeah that would definitely be easier. (TKOR did it that way...) But if all you have is a small bottle, than painting it on it is. As for just using a glove... that could work, but really the whole point is that the glue captures all lines and wrinkles on your hand. So you get all that detail (albeit backwards) in the final hand.
