  • hey did you put something on the hand before putting on the plaster? like vaseline or baby oil or something? and could you have gotten that off without breaking it?

  • ...see below for answer from the artist

  • It's so cooooooool!x

  • Indeed, it is so coooool!

    This was the first stage of constructing a karate chopping defense robot.

    When set to guard mode it will defend your property by patroling the boundary, karate chopping all intruders.

    We are currently looking for funding to produce the complete robot.

  • Use Alginate people! Its almost 2010!

  • Mod Roc available at most craft suppliers. Hospitals used to use it for fractures. Breathing any dust can be a hazard. Dust masks should be worn. Plaster heats up as it reacts with water but not enough to burn skin.

  • I want to pour alluminium in it is that safe or will it brake if I use plaster of Paris??

  • its almost 2012 use alginate!!!

    

  • @roblor And very hard to find here in Italy. Besides, alginate lasts only 30 minutes before losing the shape.

  • @PlasterTechnician I'm not expert at all about plaster casting, but I did my hand cast using the instructions in this video and it worked. My skin didn't get burnt.

  • Great video! The one and only that actually teaches how to do it without alginate.

    Thanks a lot for sharing!

  • @wikusdp No way!! It's much better learning how to do things the old way. Cheaper and much more satisfactory

  • You broke it ;(

    

  • @frenchfries59 it dries hard

  • what did u use to make the cast hard

  • There is a safe medical grade Plaster of Paris, safe on the skin (the other craft plaset bandages can burn)... the same to bandage broken limbs :) I am sure this is the best product to use, and is easy enough to find online, also Alginate is a good option in casting... :)
