I love watching how things are made/done. I know it would've made the video longer but I'd've loved to've see everything done in real time. Regardless...awesome video!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

are you subscribed to my Stiltbeast Live channel?

[@GregoryHaynes]

Thanks for that fast, down-and-dirty video Allen! That was the first silicone mask video of yours that I've seen. Thank you for the lesson. It was very informative and enjoyable!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

I dont make them too often cause they are so expensive, but sometimes its necessary.

[@Redtech78]

My favorite thing in every video is to hear Rue laughing somewhere in the background. 🙂

[@StiltbeastStudios]

his chuckle is omnipresent.

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

Thank you for uploading! This is the first fully thorough explanation step by step to make a simple silicone mask!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BongoWongoOG]

Silicone just adds an extra layer of realism and movement. Nice build, you make it look too easy! Thanks

[@StiltbeastStudios]

it is easy, you can do it!

[@HilltopZombieShop]

Thank God I'm not allergic to latex. It's so much easier.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

it really is lol

[@philipdefibaugh5683]

I would love to make a silicone half mask in the future. Latex is fun, but I want to try something different.

[@CobwebsandCandlesticks]

I've slowly dipped my toes in the silicone pool by making ears, lol. I'm planning on making some faces to put in jars. I appreciate the tips and tricks!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

its pretty pricey, but there are advantages!

[@Cisco36691]

That turned out pretty creepy! 😊 Thanks for giving us another great video!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

glad ya liked it!

[@lurchie]

Hey! I'm the first commenter! Would placing the mask on a silicone mat help with releasing the mold, or would that be more trouble than it's worth? I always enjoy your videos. This one was especially enjoyable. I love the combination of craft and silliness.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

it could help for sure, but it was not too bad releasing. Ive had way worse

[@troyiktomioftruedungeon3308]

Thank you for your work and sharing trade techniques. I'm trying to get one of my nephews (who is also obsessed with Ray Harryhausen) some materials to study outside my notes in Stan Winston School of Character Arts and practical applications in haunt industry animatronics. I'm sure I stumbled on words there and the storm is cutting my internets out, but I hope you don't mind if I send this to my sister's kid to supplement his studies.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

of course, send away!

[@JC-ms2rz]

I think this is the first time I have seen you go into an FX supply house instead of Home Depot! LOL, I am a little disillusioned . :) Edit: oh you can buy Naphtha in TX? In the Republic of California mommy Pelosi says we are not allowed to buy that still. Funny I still see Adam Savage's people using this stuff in their vids and also Xylene. They used Xylene to paint their baby Yoda puppet they said. Thank goodness for eBay I guess.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

its a shame its not widely available, but its also a material that you should treat with respect.

[@jackiejames4551]

Great video, I always learn something new when I watch your videos.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Glad to hear it!

[@603VIL]

Amazing! Thanks so much for making this one. I know it was an expense for you, so it is appreciated. As always, your teaching is "lights out" (lights out means next to flawless). The thinning of the silicon got me thinking about fake blood again. 🤔. I bet thinned silicone with some food coloring or oil paints could make a cheap alternative to the almighty Perma. Thoughts?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

it could, but I dont know how long the sheen would last.

[@603VIL]

@@StiltbeastStudios true. That recipe is a tough one to crack for sure.

[@mattkennedy1228]

The way that those teeth lay om the cardboard box, makes it look like a Chest Mimic from D&D. Could be a fun project.

[@StiltbeastStudios]

as long as you have a core, its not too hard

In the beginning of this video I thought I saw some full sized leprechaun masks on the left or right of the table which cought my eye

yes, we make a lot of Leprechaun masks this time of year

[@rhysnybo3420]

@@StiltbeastStudios Awesome love the sounds of that they are really big for St Patrick's

[@astrogallus]

This is really amazing. Thank you so much. I really appreciate you showing how you attach the hair. I thought it might be possible to use tube hardware silicone to attach hair, but seeing you do it gives me the confidence to try it. I want to use one of those Chinese produced silicone male torso plates and add wig hair to produce a sort of bigfoot/werewolf type upper body covering. Do I need to do anything to the chest plate/shirt before I use the tube silicone and add the hair? Any pointers or suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you again!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

definitely clean it, Id use naptha and give it a wipe down so any sealer is removed that would stop the hair from bonding.

[@astrogallus]

@@StiltbeastStudios - Thank you! I am planning to wash it with Dawn detergent to remove any grease or film, then hang it to dry, then once dry rub down with isopropyl alcohol. I will look for naphtha. I don't have any and haven't been able to find it, but will order some if I can't find locally. I appreciate your input and your videos. 🙂

[@billlumberg5746]

Great stuff as always mask turned out pretty sweet!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Thank you so much 😃

[@wesewpro]

This is fabulous. I dont understand why you are not wearing a mask, even though I did notice your ventilation system, but l would still wear a mask. This stuff is all chemical 😢. Not bashing you, your talent is exceptional, just would like to see you stay safe. 🫶

[@StiltbeastStudios]

the silicone really is not that bad- the resin needs a respirator if you do it a bunch. watch my safety video I did if you want more info.

[@wesewpro]

@@StiltbeastStudios will do. These masks are amazing!

[@StiltbeastStudios]

Thank you so much!

[@imspooky2024]

Mesmerizing. Your videos are awesome. In one of your videos you were putting fake hair on 1 of your mask. And I am going to try to do that on my skeleton Mr. Captain that sits in the back seat of my SUV. long black hair. Under his pirate hat. Thank you for sharing your videos you are blessing.🎉🎉

[@StiltbeastStudios]

do it! I hope I can see what you made!

[@zaknafein_aconite]

Hey Alan? I’ve asked around on instagram about what to do regarding molds that grow, well, mold and so far all they seem to agree on is soapy water with a chip brush should fix that. I guess my question is how do I avoid plaster molds from getting moldy, to begin with? Plus, besides Clorox wipes (which is what I used), what else would you recommend if it comes to cleaning mold off?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

clean with vinegar actually, not just soapy water- and to keep them from getting moldy put them in a garbage bag with a few silica packs.

[@lalpertel6677]

It is interesting which country this is you makings. And how much it will cost one mask sir

[@youtubeuser1159]

You can also cast silicone in plaster

[@StiltbeastStudios]

you can, but you have to seal it since it is pourous- I seal my plaster molds with johnsons paste wax!

[@Randy_Hargett]

When releasing your mold try using low air compressor

[@StiltbeastStudios]

we do sometimes, I have even put bags in the mold to do just that. these release pretty easy

[@oldkingcrow777]

What is "red fly" for the silicone additive? I believe I've heard it somewhere else, but i cant figure out what to type in Google to find anything other than bug killer 😂 Edit, is it like flocking powder?

[@StiltbeastStudios]

it is red flocking thats what i used.

no, it degrades latex. its inert to silicone- many silicones can even have PJ mixed in while you combine components.

New to this stuff, what type of clay are you using? Where can I buy?

[@GregoryHaynes]

Allen uses WED clay. It's water-based. Cheaper than Monster Clay (oil-based). Used for fast sculpts. A couple to a few days, must stay moist. Requires bagging when not actively sculpting.

WED clay- water based clay I buy mine from BITY mold supply
