@@lifeholdstrategic Thats great to hear. I worry that we spend a disproportionate amount of time being excited by the digital tools, so it’s nice to hear that someone is using them and still listening to us! We are looking at more traditional things next, because it’s still just a tool, and the tool kit is extensive in the workshop as you know.

Thanks for your interest! I have updated the description but for you, I pop them here too: ** Materials List ** Clay - Water Based grey pottery clay Silicone- Dow Corning 3481 Tin based silicone with 'Fast' catalyst Silicone pigments- Available usually from same place as silicone Fabric - Jute scrim or burlap Plaster- Crystacal R (a slower setting alpha plaster similar (ish) to Ultracal 30 Key Mould- PVC U-shaped channel edging (hardware store) Release spray- Spray wax release 'MacWax' Brushes- Disposable 'chip' or laminating brushes

@@venom7774 In what way does the pigment ruin it? What brand of silicone pigment are you using? Flocking can work, but will gradually thicken the mixture as the proportion of fibres increase. For these thickened silicone pastes like 3rd Degree, Sculpt Gel etc. this is no bad thing. Curious to see how the silicone pigments you have used are ruining the material.

@@stuartbray Neills. From British company. Just ordered kryolan to try that. I tried flocking and oh boy that was incredible. Thickened in a good way. And did not change the consistency. Blue flesh n RED especially are amazing. The silicone mix I mentioned is supposed to blend out seamlessly. I also learned to try gamsol to blend out edges even better. Any ideas about a SEAMLESS blend. The pigment neills just destroyed the consistency of the mixture. Stupidly I bought. A 6 range color of bottles. But I’m learning. Try one and see how it goes first.

​@venom7774 it's definitely silicone pigments and not urethane pigments? Flawless blends are best with appliances made with cap plastic encapsulant barriers. With silicone pastes, the trick is to drag the still unset paste out to a fine edge before it sets and thickens. I'm curious how a small amount ifbpigment shoudk have such a catastrophic effect on the material. I've used those pigments for years with no issue. You can email me pics of the results if you like. See if we can figure out what went awry. stuartbray@yahoo.com

@@MsZzzipper Thank you!!

This is Mac Wax, specifically a wax based release agent in a can. I find this is curiously harder to find outside the US. It ist a wood polish spray, but in a pinch i suppose that may work, but the spray is a fine mist and designed as a mould release in the UK.

@shahindezfouli5108 they do sell cosmetology practice heads, but ideally, you want something anatomically correct and the right size. Often, these things are not quite right. There are mask sculpting armatures, most effects suppliers sell something along these lines. Costs and shipping will depend on where you are in the world.

@@stuartbray so what I do? Can I make natural woman silicone mask by me?how can I make plaster cast when here is any body so how can I buy plaster natural face from Amazon?

@@shahindezfouli5108 ​@shahindezfouli5108 does it have to be plaster? Does it have to be amazon? You can buy rigid heads on Amazon, they need not be plaster as that is a heavy material which can break easily if dropped so not a likely material for a supplier of head armatures. Fx suppliers do sell head form armatures. If you can't use those, then try amazon.

@@stuartbray Ofcourse I can but silicon mask on Amazon if your means is it but after silicon masks are fake and bad siza or bad material so do you know good and cheap silicon mask on Amazon that it be natural human face and cheap on Amazon ? Please send link to me,thanks

@@shahindezfouli5108 they are not likely to be silicone. My understanding is you need a rigid head to sculpt onto. The head will likely be a urethane plastic, many are hollow or filled with a lightweight, rigid expanding foam to reduce weight.

@orioborous ah man, thank you!

Plastiline is wax based and does not break down or dilute with water.

Yes, as plaster is brittle and may crack when under stress such as when being levered open or bolted/clamped closed.

@@stuartbray Okay thank you for answering my question!!! So I will buy burlap :)

You are so welcome!

Certainly it could

It's a good question. You'll get a better result, with neater keys and consistent controlled thickness of silicone because all that is established with clay. I really like a continuous key around the edge, and it's easier to do this in clay. Brush on moulds work well for the sort term but I like to use a pure silicone without adding thickeners or accelerators etc. if possible which can reduce library life. I have also a done brush on mould video.

@@stuartbray got ya! Thanks for replying! I’ve been studying these videos recently. I’m about to have a go at a pretty ambitious project… trial and error is my main thing… which I’m happy with (time and money currently allows)- given myself a 40% success rate on this one 😅. I can ping across what I’m working on if you’re interested (Paramedic… making a training aid)

If you are using a mould then you'll need a material which starts out as a liquid and then dries or cures to a flexible solid. There are a number of materials that have this property but latex and silicone are the most reliable and easily acquired. There are also flexible urethanes but these are smelly and unpleasant to use for masks. There are liquid neoprenes too but these are not easily found in the UK so I haven't used them

J. HERBIN grade 50. They make about 5 softnesses

It's available in different thickness, or weights. Usually the one I use is 600g which is the weight of a square Metre. That I use two layers with a third on any flange or edges which need drilling/bolting/clamping or levering against.

Thanks, Gina. I really enjoyed making this video too.
