How to make Foam Latex Prosthetics

[@ralis]

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 KZbin to figure out how this material works.. and then 0:48 comes and.. HALLELUJAH! That's exactly what I bought..

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE CAREER?!? Youre amazing! Please keep it up🤤

[@JayWitch]

Du bist so eine inspirierende Person & ich finde es gut das du auch zeigst wenn man etwas schief geht

[@MrAnamchara]

I like your attitude and willingness to learn from your own mistakes. Good job

[@nickangelreid]

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

[@stuartwest5125]

You don’t learn from your successes but your failures, it’s been a hard lesson to learn.

Kann ich Flex foam it 14 als maske zum aufkleben auf der Haut verwenden?

[@MikeOfNotts]

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.

Neuwave oven works for clay, heat set paints and other low heat applications

[@WELOVEFAKO]

Thanks for sharing. I've wanted to give this a go ever since watching the show, Face Off.

[@sparkii_sparxx]

You're adorable and I learned so much!

[@brianmurphy6760]

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!

[@captureinsidethesound]

Hey Brian, did you get an answer for this?

[@markviniello]

I used an old blender when I first started learning. It was messy and didn’t yield professional results…but it worked!

[@jazzybandit4687]

is possible to make a full over the head foam latex mask ? rather then just face appliences ? thanx.

[@AdrianChazz]

"Do not use your home oven." Any suggestions around this issue?

[@thetree9399]

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

[@RobertFerro3]

You might be able to find a Makerspace near you with an oven that you can use

[@sparkii_sparxx]

Hotel oven 😂

[@youtubeuser1159]

Use mask making liquid latex instead

[@austinmetcalf7505]

Portable electric oven possibly, I’m also curious

[@luciehermand131]

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 ?

[@fandomsnerdygirl2376]

Harry Potter squad here lmao 😂 and future Sfx artist

[@ChristianRivera-y3p]

Soooooo we just not gonna answer the question how else we should bake it?

[@ACuriousOne_]

Hi! Is it necessary to use the oven? Thx!

[@Gianinaalvarez]

thanks for these videos!!!

[@MrEliteXXL]

Hi! Does latex feel more like skin than silicone?

[@siccandtwistted]

Omg I felt so bad when the first one failed I cringed D: I hate when that happens

[@JoKiR90]

Where can I get one of those bars to put into the face cast??

[@danielcorona9696]

Hi, do you happen to know if I can use plastidip on foam latex muscle suits?

[@LarryHAboveRHeads]

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?

[@joachimkarstens9769]

photograph it. then print out.

[@osuushiza8]

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!!

[@Captain_MonsterFart]

That's not "random" at all. I think the word you are looking for is "incidentally".

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

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. 😉

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

Mitchell Krik and yet you felt the need to take the time to repeat it as well as wonder why I did the same. 🤔

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

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.

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

Mitchell Krik DUDE, LEARN WHAT “HYPOCRITICAL” MEANS! 🙄

[@renefernandez4965]

How can i figure out mixing times for a 300gm batch?

[@nelioanderson5315]

This girls has Beautiful hair color

[@Mammon-magazinDe]

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

[@sirgallant5000]

not regular latex, foam latex

[@ferniec7023]

Do you have to bake it?

[@MaddieeeLynn]

YES!! it will never set properly if it is not baked.

[@tombirmingham7033]

I've failed so much that i'm sure to get it right eventually.

[@wingitprod]

I hope to make a King Kong for stop-motion.

[@iseetheWAYVision]

I've never have done it this way.

Yes!

[@altermann1ify]

My foam came out like cool whip upon mixing lol

[@JeanetteRospect]

If I cant use my oven AGH darn what do I even use, poot

[@billfoster6809]

What does "Backbowl the mixture" mean???

[@BenStrothmann]

I have the same question!

[@vojkantodorovic2756]

me too!!

[@MaddieeeLynn]

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 !

[@edwardpadilla7543]

She sounds like Draculas daughter

[@maximilians917]

Top englisch 🔝

[@giancarloandrebravoabanto7091]

negative of the fake face and the positive of your face. understood

[@Ashes2Ashes_Blush2Blush]

you are so cute.....

[@BritClips]

Cheaper to buy. Don't use a home oven? That's me out

[@Vixa_Jaz]

moondust944 -ikr?? I really want to use latex prosthetic since they’re easier to reuse. Can’t afford a whole new oven

[@melanie-rosannastevens7861]

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
