Great video. . .

But how long did the model have to sit for?!?!?!

[SmoothOnInc]

@devotchkaMarina The model is me! :) I sat for about 1/2 hour, but that was with all the filming going on. One of the benefits of using Body Double is that it is much more lightweight than alginate. More comfortable.

ROUGHLY how much do all the materials cost as i want to get into this line of work... do you have any problems with eyelashes also .? best video by far that i have seen..

[SmoothOnInc]

@Durs5 The use of Body Double release cream or Hyperfolic additive will help the material come away from facial hair and eyelashes.  On the Body Double TB it lists quantities needed for certain areas of the body. You can use this guide to estimate material cost.

@Durs5 You can visit our site for pricing and coverage amounts. Eyelashes can be handled using release cream before applying rubber, thanks for the compliment!

this is cool! and very educational... I agree with the porn music comment, though, lol!  cheers!

sup with porn music?

the process works best when using a plastic bald cap;

latex bald caps are not compatible with Body Double and will cause cure inhibition.

Also now available is Hyperfolic additive to prevent bonding to hair.

Oh my I looked through it and was already amazed of how good it works, but when I saw the outcome I was really stunned! Now I want to try it xDD!
