Terrific video David!
Thank you so much. More to come!
Great video! Enjoying the new background as well.
Well sir, you better. Your the reason #causeirespectyouandyourknowledge
Good stuff! Seaming and patching is an art form in itself on the SFX side. Lucky most of us here are not dealing with movie level patch work 😅
Yeah I want that to be a future episode. There are a few patchers and seamers that are just pure magicians!
Something to consider as an alternative to mesh is the non-sticky fiberglass tape for dry wall repair. It’s all I use now.
I’ll take a punch or make a round hole with my Exacto knife at the very end(s) of the silicone tear. That hole does wonders to prevent any additional tearing and, along with the fiberglass tape/Silpoxy, this makes the tear nearly impossible to tear again.
Thank you for posting this! Who would have thought of this. Awesome tip. Thank you.
I have a tear on the flap covering the power button. If I ever have time, Ill try this for sure.
Which manikin?
Yes let’s see the next section. Great content! By the way, is there a reason you don’t use gloves? Does nitrile or pvc gloves interact chemically with the materials?
Thank you so much. No. No real reason. To be honest, I’m sure I should so thank you for keeping me honest! I’ll add doing a trim and beauty coat on the arm, to the list of episode. Thanks again for the comment.
What is the larger weave mesh you are using? I've used powermesh but I'm not familiar with the one with the larger holes. Thanks!
It should be this mesh. I’m still looking for the “right mesh” and this isn’t it, but it’s close. Let me know if you find something better, but this is pretty good. a.co/d/ddJahH5
