[@stuartbray]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and reply!

[@OldLady-um9kt]

@@stuartbray Thank you for responding. My comment was the least I could do after you have spent so much of your time and effort sharing your artistic talent. Even an old lady as I can appreciate your video. I will be sharing for sure. Thanks again. Hugs!

[@gordontarpley]

This is fantastic. Thanks for posting!

[@defiance42]

Thanks for videos and all the tips and tricks that you point out!) may i ask why you prefer fiberglass over plastic or silicone mold?

[@stuartbray]

It is cheaper and quicker to avoid using silicone. With a silicone insert there is still a fibreglass jacket involved. I wanted to see if it were possible to avoid making a silicone mould. Often it is done out of habit for fear of cap plastic adhering to the resin surface....logical as they share a acetone as a solvent. However this proves it is possible and useful for those who perhaps cannot afford to use silicone habitually to make moulds.

Thanks for the video , does look expensive to do individual parts as most don't have a budget to cover but it's good to see , helps if making smaller parts from a large cast on how separate the pieces another great vid from the man

[@stuartbray]

...so maybe I should do some cheaper FX which more people could do at home without breaking the bank.

[@PsychoAxeMan]

stuart bray you should do some on a cheaper budget for the people that are starting out :)

[@PunLikelyHeroine]

what resin is used for the core and mould and could you use a silicone instead? thanks

[@ChrisEllerby]

Another amazing video! Thanks so much for sharing your process with such great detail. What is your reason for building up the bleeder drill points with auto body filler prior to drilling?

[@stuartbray]

Chris Ellerby Excellent question. It does two things - one it increases the drag, slowing the flow of the silicone escaping but still allowing the air out. That way it loses less silicone, as with liquids in tubes, the longer the tube is, the more pressure you lose. Second, when you block it with plastiline, it lis less likely that the plastiline you push on there will come through to the sculpt surface, which when the piece was demoulded, would appear as holes in the finished piece. -Stuart

you probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.

[@williezayn7516]

@Kamryn Finn thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@williezayn7516]

@Kamryn Finn it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account !

[@willusionist]

Thank you for another informative video. I was going to ask the same question about your choice of using fiberglass, but it was already answered. Does that first layer of resin you applied before the fiberglass mesh become a negative of the sculpt (pick up the details from the plastaline?

[@stuartbray]

Yes, it does. It picks up everything. Then you can safely glass over the top and know that stippling the glass mat with a laminating brush won't damage the sculpt surface.

[@raymanning9903]

does Brick in the yard have a parting agent?

[@stuartbray]

I think so....call them up and ask to check stock

[@wolfhybrid9759]

Umm hi uh the clay yer useing that to be dipped in water to seperate fer large molds in wanting to do very large molds that require makeing the whole thing but ik I have to do like you did umm what kinda clay are you useing to do that??? And where did you get?? Please tell me if you can

[@stuartbray]

I think I understand. There are only two clays used here in this makeup. the oil based plasticine for the appliances themselves and the water based potters clay used for temporary walls.

[@wolfhybrid9759]

Thank you so much and yes you did understand so plastaline is the one that was ok with being in the water so you could get more than one pice and I'm sorry I'm pretty new at this and I never was good at explaneing or spelling XD sorry again

[@dakotatimmins9980]

I was just wondering how do you figure out how much silicone you need to fill a prosthetic I know the formula for the moulds but not the actual prosthetics

[@PunLikelyHeroine]

when you clean the clay out- weigh it to give you a rough guide :)

[@Polarcupcheck]

Amazing video.

[@Samaromua]

Hi! I know this is a lot of material, but would you be able to make the whole face (without the neck) in one big block/snap mould?

[@stuartbray]

It's is possible to some degree depending in undercuts. its getting g two rigid moulds apart with the inevitable undercuts which make it so difficult. Also it's so much easier to make smaller overlapping pieces. It makes gluing them on easier usually and also mould closure is better when clamping efforts are shared over a smaller piece. Better edges on a few pieces is preferable to one massive piece with poorer edges. In theory it is, to answer your question. Masks are done this way all the time but you don't need access to the inside to glue them!

[@wyattg2972]

What release did you use to ensure that the resin didn't stick to the resin?

[@stuartbray]

Wyatt G spray wax.

[@Maqsimqa]

great

[@xmortimorxmortimorx]

what u can do is take some basic clases at comunity college and maybe try to get an intership at a studio so you can get you foot in the door cause some of yuor stuff aint that bad. you still need a little more practice but just keep doin what you doin and submit as many work apllications to as many studios as you can cause all it takes is for that 1 studio to like yuor stuff.
