I made my first pair of hands! Not so good, but not so bad. Lost 2 fingers on one hand so decided to make it a deliberate thing. Lots of blood . Looks very cool. Thanks and love the videos.
This is exactly how I built my wife. Starting with a pair of lulumelon yoga pants and an underamour long sleeved shirt. She is beautiful and smart (compared to me) and she is a far better partner to me than my first wife whom I had found in a dumpster behind a Forever22 in Port Huron, MI. I maintain, to this day, that those paternity tests were faked and those child mannequins are not mine.
I found your video's in time to save my Halloween! Thank you! You have opened my eyes to the wonderful world of spray foam sculpting, and I couldn't thank you enough! I now have a winter's worth of projects. I wish happiness and health to you and yours!
StiltbeastStudios I found out Uh NO I can't seem to get it right. I went through 2 cans of foam and several pairs of gloves and they don't come out right for me. Grrrrr. I fill each finger wait the time, and put a hole and wait the time, and they just come out with some really short stubby fingers or skinny flat looking fingers. What am I doing wrong??? Or the gloves stick so badly they are NOT coming off.??? Help
I LOVE working with the locktite foam, I never realized that there was a flexible foam in a can. I had previously tried another brand and it failed miserably. Thanks for the tips, like the fingers and the puffiness.
Very cool, very easy. Love it. Would like to see you paint them too. Maybe 1 a zombie style the another whatever color you think works. I know I can paint them myself without a tutorial, but I usually take a while. Part of the enjoyment of watching you work is your tricks to completing work quickly without sacrificing quality.
I seriously love this man he has the most brilliant ideas he makes it look so easy I know it’s time consuming so I know it’s not that easy. I feel it’s cheaper than buying stuff off line. Honestly, I would love to have a partner like him who creates such amazing things, I really wish she sold some of his stuff online. Maybe he does I am not too sure but I feel every year my house has to look better and this is the year where I’m going to make my skeletons.
Very cool, I’m glad you’re inspired! I do sell on line but that is more commercial items I have sculpted and molded. Most of what I put on the channel are things I think people can make for themselves. If you want to see some of the make and costumes I make that are for sale, head over to stiltbeaststudios.com
Just tried it out with the cheap Walmart spray foam. Texture was fairly rough/porous like baby Swiss in areas. I was going to scrap them but then the stiltbeast in my head let them cure, a good base coat of red(paying extra attention to hitting inside the holes) then several light dust coats of an ugly greenish and voila... rotting zombie hands
This is awesome. I was sitting here thinking about using the kitchen gloves to do this same thing as I need 4 hands for a few new props was wondering the best way. Thanks for the video!
I love this idea. I have been looking for 'alien' parts and hands are practically nonexistent online. I will make alien hands with only three or four fingers, heat them up and stretch them out longer.
😊 I watched your spray foam pumpkin video and asked if hands could be made with gloves in the spray foam. I'm binge-watching your channel and I'm so glad I just came across this video.
just discovered your videos ............AMAZING, great projects with real affordable stuff. Where have you been all my life??!! 😂😂 looking forward to creating some of your ideas. thanks very much!!!!
I thought you might like to know (if you do not know already) I have tried the new nozzle from Great Stuff foam (that seals the can for 30 days) and it will screw onto the Loctite foam can spout with a slight modification to the great stuff nozzle. I purchased ONE GS can threw away the GS can and just use the "special" Nozzle and clean it with Acetone in-between new cans of Loctite foam.
@@chrissylopez2788 I was surprised that the competitors use the same spout specs (same thread and diameter and length). I mean I have seen this before with other products but still you would think that GS would make "proprietary" design so it could not be utilize it on a competitors product. They (GS) have a locking mechanism in their design to prevent you from reusing it (they claim it is to prevent their spout from getting lose...lol) but it is easy to cut the little plastic tabs off.
@@JC-ms2rz well that makes it convenient for us Crafters to stick with the products that work best, all the companies probably use same manufacturer-great job on the find!
I successfully used your method to make an awesome set of gloved hands realistically grasping the handlebars of my new Flying Bike Riding Phantom, so much easier than expected👍
Here's a trick I learned doing this. I took plastic gloves. And sprayed the foam in. Then I used the glove as the skin. Then pushed the expanded foam at the bottom as a base.
Btw I so love your channel I was sick this year but next year I can’t wait to do my yard I’ve done so long in a ths I bought a house n land and plan to go big with the stuff I’ve accumulated for the last 20 years I can’t wait I am sooooo excited I’ve learned a lot form your channel so ty so much your amazing and I love that someone has a brain like I do lol xoxoxo
Somehow I happened upon your channel and I’m so glad I did! I’m obsessed now with the idea of making stuff for Halloween next month!! Going to the hardware store this weekend!! I’m gonna go make stuff. 😉 Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for posting this video! We did stuff! Well, we tried stuff. We made a dozen hands tonight and I think we need to work on our technique even though we're not strangers to using spray foam for making creepy stuff. We've never tried it your way before and you've opened up even more possibilities for us. Thank you, thank you!
Oh my stars... The pin hole is so simple and yet genius. I had some left over foam last week after making a cauldron topper, so I filled a couple of gloves. Now I know the cause of the disappearing fingers. Thanks!!
Oh man I came from the weeping angel tutorial (which is awesome btw) but about 10 fingerless hands later I finally have good ones after watching this. I’m so happy it wasn’t just me being crazy (I needed to poke holes)
Thanks for sharing this one! I've really missed your creative influence! I'm so glad you're feeling better! Before I became ill in June, I was working on several of your Loctite projects - the skulls, the skeleton in a can ( I counted ribs - ha 😂) , and random bones - all from your videos. I've been busy, now working from the side of a bed - (so not me). I finally convinced the family to give me the heat gun and soder iron - oh lawd 😱 I've finished putting together all my 9 volt diode pieces, just have the motion sensor light projects to finish. Filled up 5 thirty gallon trash bags of heat fused backer rod vines all in need of priming with thinned contact cement and painted. I heat fused a ton of pool noodles together for an entrance arch - yet to be assembled. I pretty much have heat fused everything I could think of at this point. I then started on the thinned latex skull make over and added the exaggerated dropped jaws. They where really fun to make and are now so heavy! I bought plumbers strapping to anchor them - I figured I'd screw the strapping to the back of the skull and then on to a support rod to firmly hold it in place? I haven't quite finished them as far as painting and sealing them. I have 9 days left, a garage full of supplies yet to be built and a bare yard - I'm going to get it done - right - lol - ?!? 🤦♀️😱🤦♀️
@@StiltbeastStudios - Thank you! My girls are flying in from Houston Sunday! They say ride or die - lol - I say I'm tryin' to avoid the dyin' - 🤣 - Gittin' Stuff Made! 👍
Been playing with this loctite ever since you did your first video on it since then made skin for a 7ft demogorgon and a ghostbusters Slimer you read my mind on this one 👍👍
I just did these today for a dummy and I was surprised at how quickly they cured. I used reusable latex gloves from HD, kind of like the dish gloves, but not as sturdy. I inserted a length of pvc, sprayed with cooking oil, to create a cavity that could slide on to the dummy's frame. It took a little effort to crack it loose, but then it slid right out and worked great.
If you had an old well used work glove, like some old mechanix that have a formed shape. Put the rubber/vinyl glover in the work glove to help possibly shape it easier.
Allen I love it when you foam those fingers. You might say that you are a Master of Foamy Fingering. You should add that to your resume or portfolio. Or not.
Pretty awesome. I was wondering if you had tried powdering the inside of the glove? You can get really good coverage if you blow the glove up a little, twist the wrist a little to hold the air in, then shake the powder throughout the glove. Then shake out the excess. Or maybe wet the outside of the glove, then turn it inside out. Just a couple of thoughts that might help. 😁
Allen, Awesome our first attempt was not too good, 2nd one great, love doing nails. Today we wanted to make more but can was plugged, any ideas for opening nozzle?
If you can heat gun shape it do you really have to babysit the foam for 20 minutes? If it is too puffy can't you just do it after it comes out of the glove? Or does that change the hardness?
heat gun shaping is a last resort and imprecise- far easier the thinner the foam is as well so squishing a 3" thick palm is not going to be easy, but you can shape the fingers.
I used the Great Stuff on/off switch this week. I didn't clean it well enough and stuff wasn't coming out well. So I cut the tube off and got back at it. I should have bought Locktite. I had a lot of waste. How many hands do you think you could make from a can of Locktite? Do you think they would be strong enough to hold something when mounted? Or if needed put some wire in the glove for added strength? My mind is just reeling at all the possible things I could make with Locktite. Thanks for the video!!
Love you videos!!! But how the heck to get that spray foam off you fingers and hands???????? I used it yesterday and I'm still peeling off my fingers and picking off my nails.
I’m going to try this out myself. Great way to make hands. Off topic but I’m trying to find out what most artist use to seal latex masks with? I’ve tried plasti dip clear and it leaves a white residue sometimes. What do you seal your masks with if you don’t mind?
Gotcha. Thanks. I know you use plasti dip glossifier for a glossy look but the only thing I’ve heard is use plastidip clear to seal masks and it’s not working for me so Liquitex varnish it is. Appreciate the help.
I can already do that, they are posable with the heat gun. a wire inside of rigid foam would just crack the foam as it bent, the heat gun softens the foam so its bendable, then it goes back to being rigid.
@@StiltbeastStudios Yes I work with spray foam a lot in my projects. I've never had the foam get completely hard, it always has a degree of skwooshiness to it. I thought about using the foam in rubber gloves, I just haven't tried it yet. That's why I stopped to watch your video. Thx for the videos.
1. the water helps the foam cure and is necessary. oil would not help 2. the oil would make it very hard to paint the hands later 3. cooking oil is kinda gross. thanks for coming to my TED talk
I was thinking the same thing or putting a lol oil and coating it. but would it change the way the foam spray works?? And I think an idea someone else said was good. put a pool ball or something like it to dame the palm.
Halloween is sold out. Its up to you and us to create halloween products. You should open a factory!!! Stiltbeast studios factory outlet. You are amazing Im gonna go make stuff!!!!
Hi Allen, Sorry, I know the video is almost a year old but... do you have to use the loctite foam? I've got tons of the great stuff brand spray foam and I have it in all the can colors, red, blue, and black.
Do you have to remove the glove during the process? Or can you set them on your structure to hold the mold then cut them off later. Such as grabbing the edge of something.
Amazing!! I have a question, I recently purchased some 3M high strength 90 (I believe that you recommended this to me on a previous video of yours to create an old web effect). I want to apply it to a mask that i painted. My question is, how do i get the spray can to shoot these long strands? Do you widen the opening of the nozzle on the spray can with a hot needle or something? Thank you so much! I am definitely learning a lot from your videos, and my kids and I watch them regularly!
its kind of distance, i move my arm back and forth and try to lob the spay onto the object, it does it with no modification. glad you like the videos! Happy Halloween
If I put aluminum foil over one of those cheep dollar store raven blow molded birds and make a form from it will the foam cure ? And will it stick to the foil ? I am trying to make lots of birds cheaply. Less than the 4, 5, 8 dollars to buy them. Could you make a video of that ? Or do you know of another way to go ? I tried the great stuff in gloves and they never seemed to harden.
I have been trying to figure out how to make realistic human feet for lifesize halloween props, have had no success, have not found any tutorials on it ..maybe you could help???
both. sometimes they pop in sometimes experimentation makes them pop up, sometimes I have an idea and have to wait 10 years before I find the technology that makes it possible. And its my job, I need to have creativity on tap, I cant just be creative when I feel like it, that means I have to find a way.
StiltbeastStudios Do you think a person could make a good Medusa "hat" with this stuff and those balloons people use to make balloon animals? or would there be something better to get the long snake form? would it be simpler to just spray it onto some moist plastic sheeting?
Love your videos!!!! Question though, I can’t find clear answer to this anywhere. Can you spray paint Great Stuff? I’ve read no it melts the foam and yes no problem…. Thanks in advance!
that guitar riff for every 5 minute marker, plus the abruptly cutoff alexa command is absolutely hilarious, and it just get funnier everytime it happens. ale*guitar riff* okay weve waited five minutes....

I LOVE working with the locktite foam, I never realized that there was a flexible foam in a can. I had previously tried another brand and it failed miserably. Thanks for the tips, like the fingers and the puffiness.
its a rigid foam that is reshapeable with heat, not quite a flexible foam!
cool idea but wouldn't it be easier just to fill the glove with water at the faucet like a water balloon then turn it upside down and empty it?
I love this foam video. I can think of so many things I could do with this technique.
pretty useful!

Before I became ill in June, I was working on several of your Loctite projects - the skulls, the skeleton in a can ( I counted ribs - ha 😂) , and random bones - all from your videos.
I've been busy, now working from the side of a bed - (so not me).
I finally convinced the family to give me the heat gun and soder iron - oh lawd 😱
I've finished putting together all my 9 volt diode pieces, just have the motion sensor light projects to finish.
Filled up 5 thirty gallon trash bags of heat fused backer rod vines all in need of priming with thinned contact cement and painted. I heat fused a ton of pool noodles together for an entrance arch - yet to be assembled. I pretty much have heat fused everything I could think of at this point.
I then started on the thinned latex skull make over and added the exaggerated dropped jaws. They where really fun to make and are now so heavy! I bought plumbers strapping to anchor them - I figured I'd screw the strapping to the back of the skull and then on to a support rod to firmly hold it in place?

@@StiltbeastStudios Very
Wonder how well it would turn out to use the long veterinarian cow checker gloves and have the entire limb?
it would be the same, but you need to control the shape since they are not arm shaped at all.
Could I coat the hand in a water proof material, paint it, then use it outside for like a groundbreaker?
If you had an old well used work glove, like some old mechanix that have a formed shape. Put the rubber/vinyl glover in the work glove to help possibly shape it easier.
yeah, thats a good idea, Id still want to see it, they can get away from you.
@@StiltbeastStudios what if you do the fingers first and close the glove by turning the fabric and after 5 minutes spray more stuff in it?
question: what does the water do to the spray foam? does it help it cure faster? create a skin? remove some bubbles?
I believe it creates a skin
Question(s):
How durable do these stay once they cool?
What type of paint do you suggest that won't eat away at the foam?
Acrylic works on foam ... be careful with spray paints but he has other videos that can help with that, I know the angel video mentions it
spray paint works great on these, does not eat them at all. and hey are more durable than great stuff about 3X as dense.
so easy!! ok, am going to hubby's garage :) TKS!
Can you do this technique with spray foam already cured?
This so cool and i can't wait to try this
do it!
I wonder if you gave the gloves a dusting of baby powder inside the glove then sprayed the foam inside if that wouldnt ease their removal?!
That glob on the table looks like a hand to could be for a creature hehehe 😊
Allen I love it when you foam those fingers. You might say that you are a Master of Foamy Fingering. You should add that to your resume or portfolio.
Or not.
that sounds kinda adult.

you really need the water to help the foam cure, so you cant really add powder and water, this technique works pretty good really.
Good video, good Halloween ideas.
Was this guy ever in radio? He's got that same energy : )
No but Ive done a lot of haunt acting lol.
@@StiltbeastStudios good stuff, learning a lot from the vids
Could you have put baby powder in glove to make for smoother removal
Maybe?
Wonder if you could spray some cooking spray in the glove first for easy glove removal?
Is there a reason you used water on the inside of the glove? Could you use something like cornstarch, or another release agent instead?
you need the water to help the foam cure- it cures by absorbing water from the atmosphere so in the glove it wont cure, unless you add water.
@@StiltbeastStudios Thank you!
Allen, Awesome our first attempt was not too good, 2nd one great, love doing nails. Today we wanted to make more but can was plugged, any ideas for opening nozzle?
Other than taping over the straw not really, if it almost full they will give you a new can.
I will so try this, this weekend and make " thing" from the Adams family 🧡🎃🧡

@@justingilliam289 mostly now I use the glossifier for hairspray lol. I use the high gloss varnish for wet stuff now
How about putting wire down inside the fingers after it starts to set, then you'll be able to change the pose as needed
I can already do that, they are posable with the heat gun. a wire inside of rigid foam would just crack the foam as it bent, the heat gun softens the foam so its bendable, then it goes back to being rigid.
@@StiltbeastStudios Yes I work with spray foam a lot in my projects. I've never had the foam get completely hard, it always has a degree of skwooshiness to it. I thought about using the foam in rubber gloves, I just haven't tried it yet. That's why I stopped to watch your video. Thx for the videos.
Why couldn't you use cooking oil instead of water so the foam would separate easier from the latex gloves .
1. the water helps the foam cure and is necessary. oil would not help
2. the oil would make it very hard to paint the hands later
3. cooking oil is kinda gross.
thanks for coming to my TED talk
How many hands will one can make?
What about spraying the inside OG glove with Pam nonstick spray?
I was thinking the same thing or putting a lol oil and coating it. but would it change the way the foam spray works?? And I think an idea someone else said was good. put a pool ball or something like it to dame the palm.
Perfect! now I can make my Shigaraki Cosplay!
As always amazing thanks!
Our pleasure!
why do u use loctite brand specifically versus other brands?
because its sculptable- the other brands dont skin the same way
What degree temp do you generally use your heat gun on the spray foam, the shaping?
I know no setting but High!
Halloween is sold out. Its up to you and us to create halloween products. You should open a factory!!! Stiltbeast studios factory outlet. You are amazing Im gonna go make stuff!!!!
Go make stuff!
cool. thanks for doing this
thank you for watching!
Hi Allen, Sorry, I know the video is almost a year old but... do you have to use the loctite foam? I've got tons of the great stuff brand spray foam and I have it in all the can colors, red, blue, and black.
Do you have to remove the glove during the process? Or can you set them on your structure to hold the mold then cut them off later. Such as grabbing the edge of something.
I want to live on your block! So fun!
I dont really decorate lol, Im always at work! Im a full time haunter.
@@StiltbeastStudios that’s me too! Love your videos, I made the brain you taught! Came out great
Amazing!! I have a question, I recently purchased some 3M high strength 90 (I believe that you recommended this to me on a previous video of yours to create an old web effect). I want to apply it to a mask that i painted. My question is, how do i get the spray can to shoot these long strands? Do you widen the opening of the nozzle on the spray can with a hot needle or something? Thank you so much! I am definitely learning a lot from your videos, and my kids and I watch them regularly!
its kind of distance, i move my arm back and forth and try to lob the spay onto the object, it does it with no modification. glad you like the videos! Happy Halloween
@@StiltbeastStudios Thank you!
Thanks for your video!
My pleasure!
Once Loctite foam is completely set can you use a heat gun to reshape it at all?
yeah, you just saw me do that in the video. days later you can reshape it with heat.
Can you use any kind of expanding foam using this method?
no, just locktite
Great video Dude!
If I put aluminum foil over one of those cheep dollar store raven blow molded birds and make a form from it will the foam cure ? And will it stick to the foil ? I am trying to make lots of birds cheaply. Less than the 4, 5, 8 dollars to buy them. Could you make a video of that ? Or do you know of another way to go ? I tried the great stuff in gloves and they never seemed to harden.
looks easy enough to try
you can do it!
I have been trying to figure out how to make realistic human feet for lifesize halloween props, have had no success, have not found any tutorials on it ..maybe you could help???
no, I mostly buy feet. they are not easy to make
Real Question: Do these ideas just pop up in your dreams or do you sit around trying tons of crazy ideas and practices til it works?
both. sometimes they pop in sometimes experimentation makes them pop up, sometimes I have an idea and have to wait 10 years before I find the technology that makes it possible. And its my job, I need to have creativity on tap, I cant just be creative when I feel like it, that means I have to find a way.
StiltbeastStudios Do you think a person could make a good Medusa "hat" with this stuff and those balloons people use to make balloon animals? or would there be something better to get the long snake form? would it be simpler to just spray it onto some moist plastic sheeting?
yup just spray on plastic- watch my skeleton in a can video!
Love your videos!!!! Question though, I can’t find clear answer to this anywhere. Can you spray paint Great Stuff? I’ve read no it melts the foam and yes no problem…. Thanks in advance!
yes you can. whoever says it melts the foam has never done it and they are guessing. you can spray paint great stuff!
Do you think the spray foam you used on the pumpkin, I can't remember what brand it was but do you think that would work the same as the Loctite?
no, it does not sadly- this must be locktite
that guitar riff for every 5 minute marker, plus the abruptly cutoff alexa command is absolutely hilarious, and it just get funnier everytime it happens.
ale*guitar riff* okay weve waited five minutes....
Im a better monster maker than a video editor lol. If you watch a lot you will quickly see where I got editing help lol.
Thank you I watch your video and the light bulb went on !
"Don't leave the room. It's like you're making Risotto, don't leave, just keep stirring the pot" 👍
