@din90ify I have no idea as to what the brand name is... i tend to remove them out of the packaging they come in & into a sealable plastic bag.

Great video. However I can't seem to find the answer to my particular question anywhere so maybe you can help me.
I used this exact method to create a Phantom (from Phantom of the Opera) mask for my husband for Halloween (I am being Christine).
Problem is, after finishing a mask using just this method, it's really quite rough and kind of unsightly... And you can't sand it really because as soon as you take a sanding sponge to it, it exposes the strings of the gauze and makes it worse. (cont.)
So I found a thread online where someone said they had done it by using this step, and then once the mask is completely dry, pouring a layer of plaster of paris over the top of it and letting that dry, then sanding it down. Which worked okay but the plaster hardens so fast that it's hard to not let it get too bumpy, and it's too easy to get down to the gauze again while sanding. (continued)
So the first mask came out rough and I'm working on a 2nd now but I can't seem to find a way to get layer of plaster on the top evenly. It's too thick to go on evenly almost. You have to really mold it and it dries too quickly to really work with properly. I was hoping to find something that acts as plaster does but is either thinner (to allow for more even pouring) or dries a little slower to allow for more time. Do you know of anything, or have a better finishing method?
@OneLitFirefly Hmmm, that's a tough call... have you considered just going over the mask with paper mache? That's what i use when i want to smooth a surface out. It isn't -perfect- but it can come pretty close, especially if you paint over it afterwords. I use wallpaper paste to apply very, very thin strips of newspaper to the base, to build a new layer on top of what's already there. I'll message you a link to a flickr image to show you what i'm talking about :)
Thanks for the quick reply! I checked out your links and that look really good. I kinda went "duh" to myself after you said that because I can't believe I've never thought of it! I'll have to try it next time. Actually, I still have the 1st mask I could try it on if my latest method doesn't work! But what I tried after pouring a thick layer of plaster on last night is today I used a Dremel and sanding sponge and sanded it down a lot and then poured polyurethane on it. We'll see!
(I sanded down to the shape I wanted, completely ignoring the gauze strings that were popping out in some places, and then used a paintbrush to apply super glue to the strings to smooth them back down. Then applied 2 coats of polyurethane which I'm HOPING will smooth it out to the point that once I paint over it, it will look smooth. If that doesn't work then I'll use the paper mache method on the other mask I still have. I'll let you know how it turns out. :)
can you do this for the body? like a corset for example... from the chest to the waist and only the front part of the body. would i need anything to protect my chest or i can put in directly on the skin? (i'm a female, btw)
@IRISistibleMakeup You can use the bandages anywhere on the body - just remember to use a lot of petroleum jelly, so body hairs don't get stuck in the cast. I did someone's entire waist once & the only trouble was cutting them out afterwords :)
Have you ever tried casting from the plaster bandages mold itself? I was curious if that is a valid method. I know probably too porous, but perhaps doable?
@LieutKusa I've never heard of anyone doing that before (except with latex as the second part)... I suppose you could do it, depending what you're hoping to achieve? It might be wiser to look into making a two-part mold, which unfortunately i don't have a video for, but google should be able to help you with further information on that one :) Good luck in any case though!
i was wondering, if i were to make a full face mask, would i just lay the strips around my nose then cover the mouth with the strips? i like the full face masks better than the eye masks, so i would appreciate if u let me kno what to do
@SmarterProductions Yup! You can make a full face mask & that's exactly what you would do. If you're not going to use a straw to breath through while you cover your nose & mouth up, it's a good idea to be strategic with your casting, like... bandage the mouth first & nose area last, so by the time you get to covering the nose you'll be able to loosen your jaw free from the caste some & will hopefully be able to breath. (Woo, late response - busy summer!)
How about when doing your entire head. Do you use a bald cap so the plaster doesnt stick to your hair? Ive seen other videos like yours and some use a stalking over there heads. Wouldnt the wet plast bandages seep through the stalking?
@macskl69 Hmmm... i've never heard of someone using a stocking before, and I'd imagine it would stick to the plaster, cause its porous. Can speak from experience that bald/swim-caps work tho. Just make sure not to tuck your ears into them, like leave them sticking out, unless you're ok with some discomfort while wearing the final mask product :P
@mehisthegratestLAWLS I've never used anything except vaseline, but i suppose other slippery substances -could- technically work. However, petroleum jelly works well because it is slippery, won't dry out AND can be applied thickly to surfaces. Its very easy for fine hairs to get stuck in the plaster, which can make removing the mask at the end quite painful. A lot of vaseline helps assure you don't tear your own face off, so use other slippery stuff at your own risk! ;)
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! I've been looking for a good, easy way to make a face mask, thanks for the great help! So easy too! But um... whats the best way to paint on it and add colors and decorations? and how sturdy is it? I'm a musician and I need it to be able to withstand some abuse just in case x.x
@Bludhoundz8 Glad the videos been of help :) In terms of sturdiness - its only as strong as you make it thick. More layers = more strength, but plaster definitely isn't like wood, metal or plastic, so you won't be able to stomp on it... which hopefully isn't something you'll experience while wearing it anyways? O_O Either way, you can paint on it with almost anything. Glue guns are probably the fastest way to add decoration to it. I've never used white glue before, but that might also work
@whatywhaty ahh okay, thanks once again :) and haha, don't worry, I'll keep it safe =p i've never done this kind of thing before so it'll be rough, just hope i can make it come out right!
Another question: wouldn't a full face mask make breathing difficult when making it? Or could you just leave the nostrils open and close that gap later?
@CodenameWraith Professional mask makers as well as SFX Makeup artists often stick straws partially up the nose of whoever their working on if it's a full mask. I think it's a good page to take from their book. And yes, you can totally close up the gaps later.
I'd like to do one of these myself, but two questions:
1) Would I be able to do this on my own (without someone else placing the bandages on my face)?
2) I've designed a mask that will have the mouth sewn shut, and I'd like to use actual thread/twine; how could I do that (as I am hesitant to poke holes in it with a needle)?
@CodenameWraith 1) Y'can absolutely go solo! It only really becomes challenging when you start plastering the back of your head, or areas y'can't easily by yrself...
2) Y'can definitely poke holes or "sew" the plaster as well. You'll have to be careful when puncturing the surface, make sure the pressure you're applying doesn't break the mask. Using a "drilling" type motion (like spinning while pushing) with a large upholstery needle would probably work best :)
@TheSignalComes Thanks! Glad it worked well :) The songs called "Searching Flesh" and its by Dandi Wind. If you type "Dandi Wind Searching Flesh" into the youtube search engine, their official music video should be the first thing to pop-up for ya' :)
ah so the plaster bandages are "plaster" i thought that they were applyed to plaster sepratetly . when making the plaster mold the way shown in the vid would i be able to use that mold for a latex mask?
@rekojah Ah, that's more or less correct. The plaster used in plaster bandages is pretty much the same plaster you would use to fill a mold. It just a plaster & woven cloth combo. You could use plaster bandages to make a mold for a latex mask too, assuming the layers were done thick enough.
@Kintasho1137 No, that could work. Only thing is you -might- still use some sort of releasing agent (like petroleum jelly) on the surface of the mannequin. Although, that's probably not even be necessary depending on what the mannequin is made of. I don't think the plaster bandages would hold fast to most plastics, so... hopefully that answers things for yah? :)
@JakeiNator23 That depends on how many layers you do, as well as how wet you get the strips before using them. On average, for removing the mask from the face 5-10 minutes is usually all that's necessary. However, its always a good idea to leave the strips on a hot air vent over night afterwords, just to get as much moisture out as possible.
@GenSilentCry It depends on how much more your adding. If its not a huge amount you can add more bandages afterwords - just make sure to put a coat of glue down first (before laying down the plaster strips) to help the two surfaces bond together. However, It's best to get all the bandages down at once though if you can, with a second-go with glue as a back-up plan :)
@Zambaku If you made the layers of plaster bandages thick enough you can sand it smooth, or you can use newspaper & paper mache paste on top of your plaster mask too :)
Once the plaster is dry is it set for life? I was wondering if you have it directly on the skin, if sweat would make the plaster pliable again, or if you have to do any sort of sealing to it. If not that's would be awesome. lol
How do you do the more elaborate things to the mask? I want to make my own, but with more exaggerated facial features, such as larger brows, bigger cheeks etc. Not sure how to go about that though. If I should do the simple mask first and then build on to it, or old the plaster to one of those cheap plastic masks that I've built up on to the features that I want. Hope that made sense.
@shollia I personally wouldn't build on top of a cheap plastic mask. If you're gonna go through the work of making a mask you might as well be sure it fits your face properly, and chances are anything you buy at the store won't do that, because its meant to fit everybody. The disadvantage of making a custom fit mask, however, is that if your face is smaller than average person, well... someone with larger features might have trouble wearing it.
@shollia As for adding onto the mask: y'can use either the plaster bandages to build up the features or paper mache. If you want to make things really large on top, you can also use flexible cardboard to build a "skeleton" on top of the mask & then use paper mache to cover the gaps.
You can see this method demonstrated in my blog, step 4 & 5:
@bihnemaaya98 Including set-up, plastering & clean-up? It depends on how quick you work, what type of surface area you're covering and how many layers you're doing. I would say anywhere between 30-45minutes, however, if its your first time i don't think an hour is stretching it by any means.
The mask itself takes much longer to dry after that. This time estimate is only for the process seen in the video.
@Daradoo1989 You can definitely do that! I've never tried it myself, but know others who have done it and say it's really easy - just make sure to wear a face mask, to avoid breathing in the particles & everything :)
@Daradoo1989 It really depends on how you treat them. All the masks i've ever made are still holding strong - some i'm more careful with than others, but none of them have fallen to bits. The oldest mask i have dates back to over 8 years actually, so... hey! It isn't one i've run about in frequently, but still looks the same - minus the damage i've inflicted upon it with my own carelessness & everything ;)
thank you! i will be sure to check the site out as soon as it lets me. (we have some weird virus) and i don't know why but i never did think about calling any place. thank you so much.
@bebechicago I know for sure that De Serres carries it. I'll send you a link to the site in a personal message. If you're ok with paying the shipping & handling I'd recommend ordering it off the internet. Y'might want to try calling up some local art supply stores, or even trying getting hold of someone who does the ordering for supplies at art schools. Most sculpting departments would know where to get this or might be able to point you in a better (less costly) direction. Hope that helps!
@TRIVIUMrocker123 The center of the plaster cast will take some time longer to try completely, and is best left over night - ideally in front of a hot air vent if you have one. Otherwise, the inside of the mask (like the part against your face) shouldn't take too much longer then the outside. Altho... if you use vaseline the inside will always have a "wetter" feeling to it then the outside, just because that stuff is kinda perma-greasy ;P
@yorouichi17 You're spot on with that :) Using sandpaper is the best way to smooth the surface. Be careful not to breath in the dust though. It's best to wear some kind of protective mask when sanding.
um im gonna make a arthropod which is a bug sould i use paper mache for the fit layer and secong but plaster for the rest plz replay to me in a email on youtube plz
Heh, putting a condom on yr head to avoid getting greasy cream on yr face seems a little... pun-tastic? Methods for safe mask making, i guess!
But yeah - strange parallels aside, kinda sounds a little like suffocation 101 to me. Not to mention, the tension of the latex will squash yr features making the mask uncomfortable to wear later on places like your nose.
i can't really tell how detailed the inside is, does it capture alot of the details of the skin like pores and whatnot? what i'm thinking of doing is making 2 masks, one to pour plaster in and get a face plug, and one to pour liquid latex in and put the face plug in so it'll be flat and skin like, will this work? and will it be realistically detailed?
It won't capture details like pores, however, it will match the contours & shape of your face almost exactly.
It sounds like your idea could work. Although, i remember being taught to use a 2-mold casting technique for something like that, where 1st you'd do a cast of the face, then make a mold from that cast & finally apply the latex to that.
The 2 mold technique won't give you an ultra detailed cast, however...
My knowledge is super rusty, but i vaguely recall some (super toxic) types of liquid latex that could actually be swished around the inside of a mold/plug, and would create a super thin cast. I imagine this might be the best way of getting a lot of details. I might be wrong about this though & supposedly the stuff is REALLY toxic, so you gotta be super careful when using it.
Either way, if you're mega interested in this (toxic) stuff, i can dig about my old notes sometime in the future, see if i still have more info on it still. I mean... geez, your question is making me realize i probably need a refresher on working with plugs & latex myself :)
@whatywhaty thank you very very much, i did some research but i'm thinking the best way (although very expensive) is the way you described in your second comment, using a mixture of Gel-10 and Polyfiber and then filling it with Gel-10 mixed with a Gel-10 pigment at a 1:1 ratio, and i won't have to make a plug because the inside won't have to be completely even cuz it'll be painted to look a bit gory :] thank you very much for the replies and the help :]
You can put a swimming cap over your hair while plastering to take care of that. Even a plastic bag works if you tape it down properly.
If you go the swimming cap route though, be careful not to put your ears under the cap. It'll squash your them against your head and make the mask uncomfortable to wear later on (when your ears are no longer smushed against your skull, because of the cap)
Did you not here her? She said you could make an entire face mask you fool. Then you can either leave it blank, or spray paint it black since im sure youre going to be vandalising at night. and wear a black hoodie and black cargo pants to hold assortments of thing to fuck shit up.
yeah I use this technique allot, thanks for posting. I made a full face mask, with hinges on the top (adds to the craziness), and I've cut the jaw out of my plaster full face mask and made a really thick and massive jaw, that's got little resin bolts that I made stuck all over it . And I bolted the jaw onto my mask, and now the jaw moves on my mask and I can speak with it lol. :)
depends how quickly you work. i find the most time consuming part is setting up and cleaning the mess afterward. the actual making of the mask is a fairly rapid process... its never taken me more than 10 minutes to do a basic face cast.
I'm pretty sure i usually buy the 5lb bags of plaster from DeSerres and they last me ages. I mean... it depends on factors like how many layers you apply & if you're only using the stuff to do a cast of someone's face. Its tough for me to give an exact number for this, because i always just buy a big bag and forget about it until i run out. It never goes quickly though, so I'd like to imagine you get a couple masks out of a pound - if not more.
how much time would you say you have to work once dampening your initial plaster strips for the first layer of the mask. and to get a mask that is MORE layers thick, would you do it all at once or do 2-3 layers and let it dry then just keep adding layers at a later time?
Oh geez... it really depends on -how- moist you get the plaster (along with how much water you decide to remove/leave on the thing.)
I mean, i don't have any exact numbers for a time frame, but if you're plastering someone's entire face its not uncommon for the thing to be hard enough to remove (in most places) by the last strip - if that's indicative of anything ;P
As for letting it dry between layers: i don't think that's necessary. I've never done it. Although, i always leave the final cast on top of a hot air-vent or in front of a fan overnight before going ahead and working further on the thing. I mean, you technically -could- just let the layers dry in between. Although, the model would have to stay still for longer, which is a tiresome thing...
But yeah! Hopefully that helps? Glad y'got something out of the video too.. woo! :)
It depends on who's gonna wear the mask. I mean, a mannequin is totally fine - just so long as the mannequin's face is of similar size & shape to the person who will be ultimately wearing it. Hopefully that helps - good luck!
How strong is the finished product? I'd possibly be using mine for airsoft so would need to withstand a resonable amount of punishment. If not, I'll have to find another material.
I don't know much about airsoft, so i can't say whether it would make adequate protection. As far as plaster goes though... a lot of the materials durability depends on how thick you make the cast. It can be fairly flimsy at only 2 or 3 layers, but 8-10 thick, and you get a much more sturdy product.
However, if you plan to use the mask as a safety protection, it might be smarter to go with something designed specifically for that purpose.
Not really... I mean, you might be able to get away with lotion if you load it on, but there's still the risk of tiny hairs drying into the cast, getting ripped off when you remove the mask.
Sometimes you can tape a plastic bag over the areas you want to plaster though. if you really can't stand petroleum jelly, you might want to go with this option - although, then there's always the painful process of removing the tape as well >_o
You can actually use sand paper on plaster caster and smooth it out that way. However, some types of caster are toxic and dangerous to breath in as particles, so you might need a proper face mask with the right filters to do that. I mean, even if you do have the non-toxic kind, its probably worth wearing some kind of mouth cover anyways - it isn't pleasant to breath in.
The other option is to use paper mache on top of the plaster caster, smooth it out by layering newspaper over the mask.
I dunno... maybe? Probably not? I haven't tried that before. Although, i'm leaning towards the answer being closer to "no" than anything else, cause who knows: hairs could pop on through the fabric mesh and get caught in the plaster, making it painful to remove. But yeah ...if you're willing to risk that, go for it.
dis video was really helpful. I wnna make a mask with a stick how do u put da stick on? n is it ok to paint over the plaster? also does it matter if u dip da plaster in warm or cold water?
You could attach sticks using any type of glue. If you're looking for something only semi-sturdy, a glue gun would probably cut it. However, crazy glue or apoxy would be better, for a more secure stick.
And yeah, like TSkew44 said: plaster works in warm or cold water. Temperature is only a factor when dealing with wallpaper paste, and even then its not gonna be disastrous if you use one over the other...
it is okay to paint over the plaster.but make sure it dries first and it is off the person's face.and i think it does not matter if the water is hot or cold
Nope! The plaster is totally fine for going on the lips. Y'just gotta make sure you use a lot of vaseline before applying it. I didn't put any on Euvie's lips in the video, cause she had piercings and it would be a hassle to remove them...
Hey would you know if they carry the PLASTER BAndages in like walmart? i was just their and i forgot what kind of bandage it was and couldn't find any
Probably not? I don't shop at Walmart, but plaster bandages (also known as plaster caster) is somewhat of a specialty item. I've only seen it sold in art stores (as tool for sculpting) or medical supply shops (for making casts.) Y'never know though - it could be there. Try calling up some local craft/hobby shops though. There's a chance they'll carry it too.
hello im stefan and im from the netherlands, so my english is not very good^^ and i dont know what u mean with that vaseline,, is it the vaseline for ur lips or someting? plz mail back,, cuz i wanna make a mask like u did very much.... tkxs and sorry for my foulds :$
By "Tobi", are you talking about a character from an anime? (Flat mask with a swirl on it?) If so... yeah, that'd be a tough thing to construct, unless you have a really tiny nose & a big forehead/chin. Getting a flat surface is near impossible. You'll have to "raise" the flat face forward, make it stand out from the forehead and chin, because there's no way to get that shape without crushing your nose in the process.
Oh geez... replace the jelly? Despite vaseline being easy to find and hyper effective? :) I mean, i guess you could try taping a plastic bag over the areas you plan to plaster. It won't make as nice a molding, but we used to do that for the tops of people's heads, so we wouldn't have to load up their hair with gunk & junk. Suppose if you really wanted to y'could use cooking oil as well. It would be killer gross, but then again... this process is kinda icky anyways, eh?
I don't know what the store situation is like in Belgium (which your bio says you're from.) If you haven't been able to find it in the hobby shops, trying calling around to art supply stores. As well, you might be able to pick some up in medical supply outlets. I know we can do that here in Canada, but i don't know how it works over there. Either way, good luck on the hunt!

Another question: wouldn't a full face mask make breathing difficult when making it? Or could you just leave the nostrils open and close that gap later?
CodenameWraith 11 months ago
@CodenameWraith Professional mask makers as well as SFX Makeup artists often stick straws partially up the nose of whoever their working on if it's a full mask. I think it's a good page to take from their book. And yes, you can totally close up the gaps later.

XirisMarieX 11 months ago
I'd like to do one of these myself, but two questions:
1) Would I be able to do this on my own (without someone else placing the bandages on my face)?
2) I've designed a mask that will have the mouth sewn shut, and I'd like to use actual thread/twine; how could I do that (as I am hesitant to poke holes in it with a needle)?
CodenameWraith 11 months ago
@CodenameWraith 1) Y'can absolutely go solo! It only really becomes challenging when you start plastering the back of your head, or areas y'can't easily by yrself...
2) Y'can definitely poke holes or "sew" the plaster as well. You'll have to be careful when puncturing the surface, make sure the pressure you're applying doesn't break the mask. Using a "drilling" type motion (like spinning while pushing) with a large upholstery needle would probably work best :)

ah so the plaster bandages are "plaster" i thought that they were applyed to plaster sepratetly . when making the plaster mold the way shown in the vid would i be able to use that mold for a latex mask?
rekojah 1 year ago
@rekojah Ah, that's more or less correct. The plaster used in plaster bandages is pretty much the same plaster you would use to fill a mold. It just a plaster & woven cloth combo. You could use plaster bandages to make a mold for a latex mask too, assuming the layers were done thick enough.

Kintasho1137 1 year ago
@Kintasho1137 No, that could work. Only thing is you -might- still use some sort of releasing agent (like petroleum jelly) on the surface of the mannequin. Although, that's probably not even be necessary depending on what the mannequin is made of. I don't think the plaster bandages would hold fast to most plastics, so... hopefully that answers things for yah? :)

how long does it take to dry
JakeiNator23 1 year ago
@JakeiNator23 That depends on how many layers you do, as well as how wet you get the strips before using them. On average, for removing the mask from the face 5-10 minutes is usually all that's necessary. However, its always a good idea to leave the strips on a hot air vent over night afterwords, just to get as much moisture out as possible.
whatywhaty 1 year ago
Are you able to add more to it after it dries? or will it not stay?
GenSilentCry 1 year ago
@GenSilentCry It depends on how much more your adding. If its not a huge amount you can add more bandages afterwords - just make sure to put a coat of glue down first (before laying down the plaster strips) to help the two surfaces bond together. However, It's best to get all the bandages down at once though if you can, with a second-go with glue as a back-up plan :)

Once the plaster is dry is it set for life? I was wondering if you have it directly on the skin, if sweat would make the plaster pliable again, or if you have to do any sort of sealing to it. If not that's would be awesome. lol

How do you do the more elaborate things to the mask? I want to make my own, but with more exaggerated facial features, such as larger brows, bigger cheeks etc. Not sure how to go about that though. If I should do the simple mask first and then build on to it, or old the plaster to one of those cheap plastic masks that I've built up on to the features that I want. Hope that made sense.
shollia 1 year ago
@shollia I personally wouldn't build on top of a cheap plastic mask. If you're gonna go through the work of making a mask you might as well be sure it fits your face properly, and chances are anything you buy at the store won't do that, because its meant to fit everybody. The disadvantage of making a custom fit mask, however, is that if your face is smaller than average person, well... someone with larger features might have trouble wearing it.
(answer to rest of question in next comment)
whatywhaty 1 year ago
@shollia As for adding onto the mask: y'can use either the plaster bandages to build up the features or paper mache. If you want to make things really large on top, you can also use flexible cardboard to build a "skeleton" on top of the mask & then use paper mache to cover the gaps.
You can see this method demonstrated in my blog, step 4 & 5:

@bihnemaaya98 Including set-up, plastering & clean-up? It depends on how quick you work, what type of surface area you're covering and how many layers you're doing. I would say anywhere between 30-45minutes, however, if its your first time i don't think an hour is stretching it by any means.
The mask itself takes much longer to dry after that. This time estimate is only for the process seen in the video.

Should the inside be taking a while to dry?
TRIVIUMrocker123 1 year ago
@TRIVIUMrocker123 The center of the plaster cast will take some time longer to try completely, and is best left over night - ideally in front of a hot air vent if you have one. Otherwise, the inside of the mask (like the part against your face) shouldn't take too much longer then the outside. Altho... if you use vaseline the inside will always have a "wetter" feeling to it then the outside, just because that stuff is kinda perma-greasy ;P

realistromeo 2 years ago
Heh, putting a condom on yr head to avoid getting greasy cream on yr face seems a little... pun-tastic? Methods for safe mask making, i guess!
But yeah - strange parallels aside, kinda sounds a little like suffocation 101 to me. Not to mention, the tension of the latex will squash yr features making the mask uncomfortable to wear later on places like your nose.
whatywhaty 2 years ago
i can't really tell how detailed the inside is, does it capture alot of the details of the skin like pores and whatnot? what i'm thinking of doing is making 2 masks, one to pour plaster in and get a face plug, and one to pour liquid latex in and put the face plug in so it'll be flat and skin like, will this work? and will it be realistically detailed?
Plibt8 2 years ago
It won't capture details like pores, however, it will match the contours & shape of your face almost exactly.
It sounds like your idea could work. Although, i remember being taught to use a 2-mold casting technique for something like that, where 1st you'd do a cast of the face, then make a mold from that cast & finally apply the latex to that.
(...continued in 2nd comment below)
whatywhaty 2 years ago
The 2 mold technique won't give you an ultra detailed cast, however...
My knowledge is super rusty, but i vaguely recall some (super toxic) types of liquid latex that could actually be swished around the inside of a mold/plug, and would create a super thin cast. I imagine this might be the best way of getting a lot of details. I might be wrong about this though & supposedly the stuff is REALLY toxic, so you gotta be super careful when using it.
(bitty more below, again...)
whatywhaty 2 years ago
Either way, if you're mega interested in this (toxic) stuff, i can dig about my old notes sometime in the future, see if i still have more info on it still. I mean... geez, your question is making me realize i probably need a refresher on working with plugs & latex myself :)
whatywhaty 2 years ago
@whatywhaty thank you very very much, i did some research but i'm thinking the best way (although very expensive) is the way you described in your second comment, using a mixture of Gel-10 and Polyfiber and then filling it with Gel-10 mixed with a Gel-10 pigment at a 1:1 ratio, and i won't have to make a plug because the inside won't have to be completely even cuz it'll be painted to look a bit gory :] thank you very much for the replies and the help :]

tawipisim3550xxxx01 2 years ago
You can put a swimming cap over your hair while plastering to take care of that. Even a plastic bag works if you tape it down properly.
If you go the swimming cap route though, be careful not to put your ears under the cap. It'll squash your them against your head and make the mask uncomfortable to wear later on (when your ears are no longer smushed against your skull, because of the cap)

flooozy 2 years ago
I'm pretty sure i usually buy the 5lb bags of plaster from DeSerres and they last me ages. I mean... it depends on factors like how many layers you apply & if you're only using the stuff to do a cast of someone's face. Its tough for me to give an exact number for this, because i always just buy a big bag and forget about it until i run out. It never goes quickly though, so I'd like to imagine you get a couple masks out of a pound - if not more.

1:41 you say it dries quickly
how much time would you say you have to work once dampening your initial plaster strips for the first layer of the mask. and to get a mask that is MORE layers thick, would you do it all at once or do 2-3 layers and let it dry then just keep adding layers at a later time?
uselessmarial 2 years ago
Oh geez... it really depends on -how- moist you get the plaster (along with how much water you decide to remove/leave on the thing.)
I mean, i don't have any exact numbers for a time frame, but if you're plastering someone's entire face its not uncommon for the thing to be hard enough to remove (in most places) by the last strip - if that's indicative of anything ;P
whatywhaty 2 years ago
As for letting it dry between layers: i don't think that's necessary. I've never done it. Although, i always leave the final cast on top of a hot air-vent or in front of a fan overnight before going ahead and working further on the thing. I mean, you technically -could- just let the layers dry in between. Although, the model would have to stay still for longer, which is a tiresome thing...
But yeah! Hopefully that helps? Glad y'got something out of the video too.. woo! :)

How strong is the finished product? I'd possibly be using mine for airsoft so would need to withstand a resonable amount of punishment. If not, I'll have to find another material.
HappySarcasm 2 years ago
I don't know much about airsoft, so i can't say whether it would make adequate protection. As far as plaster goes though... a lot of the materials durability depends on how thick you make the cast. It can be fairly flimsy at only 2 or 3 layers, but 8-10 thick, and you get a much more sturdy product.
However, if you plan to use the mask as a safety protection, it might be smarter to go with something designed specifically for that purpose.
whatywhaty 2 years ago
Not really... I mean, you might be able to get away with lotion if you load it on, but there's still the risk of tiny hairs drying into the cast, getting ripped off when you remove the mask.
Sometimes you can tape a plastic bag over the areas you want to plaster though. if you really can't stand petroleum jelly, you might want to go with this option - although, then there's always the painful process of removing the tape as well >_o

is there a way to smooth it out?
im trying to make a venician style cassanova masque
SaintSanguine 2 years ago
You can actually use sand paper on plaster caster and smooth it out that way. However, some types of caster are toxic and dangerous to breath in as particles, so you might need a proper face mask with the right filters to do that. I mean, even if you do have the non-toxic kind, its probably worth wearing some kind of mouth cover anyways - it isn't pleasant to breath in.
The other option is to use paper mache on top of the plaster caster, smooth it out by layering newspaper over the mask.
whatywhaty 2 years ago
I dunno... maybe? Probably not? I haven't tried that before. Although, i'm leaning towards the answer being closer to "no" than anything else, cause who knows: hairs could pop on through the fabric mesh and get caught in the plaster, making it painful to remove. But yeah ...if you're willing to risk that, go for it.

You could attach sticks using any type of glue. If you're looking for something only semi-sturdy, a glue gun would probably cut it. However, crazy glue or apoxy would be better, for a more secure stick.

If so... yeah, that'd be a tough thing to construct, unless you have a really tiny nose & a big forehead/chin. Getting a flat surface is near impossible. You'll have to "raise" the flat face forward, make it stand out from the forehead and chin, because there's no way to get that shape without crushing your nose in the process.
