    He mentioned washing a car from the top down. I used to work a place detailing cars all by myself. It seems counter intuitive but I learned if you're gonna wash the whole thing in one sitting. That if you go from the bottom up, your soap won't bleed down and cover up spots you've not cleaned yet. So, you can get everywhere in one go. Not having to rely on drying or a second pass to get it completely clean. This wasn't always useful and sometimes the car would be so small that it wouldn't matter, etc. If you're washing a large SUV that's pretty dirty try it. You have to rinse it in the same way you wash it so the water isn't covering up your progress, I know people will say, "You're letting dirty water from the top run down the side over the parts you just cleaned!" Once the dirt particulate is loose then it doesn't adhere to the car again. Especially if you're continually rinsing it. Just a bit of experience that might help someone.

    Funny about the sticking you hand in plaster story. A guy in my Makeup class at the Art Institute did that . He filled a 2 Liter soda bottle with Ultracal 30 and put his fist down into it. Needless to say, for anyone who has worked with Ultracal, it started to burn his hand and arm. We got chisels and mallets and did an emergency rescue ha ha. Not sure how he thought he was going to get his hand out anyway once it cured.

    @elchick8328 6 лет назад +1

    So I know that the alginate casts do not last very long before having to cast in plaster or resin or whatever before they deteriorate...how long do the silicone molds last? I'm guessing they have a longer lifespan. Or is it more of a limit of how many new casts can be pulled from the silicone mold before deterioration from the recasting?

  • @drkh911
    @drkh911 7 лет назад +1

    I wonder how many pints of Body Double was used for a lifecast this size. Obviously dependant on the size of the person but would be a good gauge knowing how much was used here. Or maybe I missed it at some point in the vid :/

    I find it a little annoying how no one is able to specify an approxiate number of plaster rolls needed for the average head. There must be some kind of standard. Like "it usually takes 7 rolls". I've seen people say that 2 doses of the Smooth-On stuff is usually enough, but they never seem to talk about the plaster.

    about the breathing, cut 10cm piece of 5mm diameter drinking straw and heat the ends with lighter until the edge curls into ball shape, then it will be safe to put it in your nose, it will not cut you even if you bump it. what about the eyebrows and eyelashes, is there any way to protect them better?

    Seriously, TESTED, Frank needs his own videos. This is infinitely more interesting than anything I've seen on FACE/OFF. And unlike that show, I actually LEARNED how to do what I watched. Face/off is like a lame cooking contest show, where you think you picked up techniques and ideas, but really learned nothing. We need more videos like this.

      after looking into it a little more, it seems to be the heat from the plaster curing that causes the damage. and nobody seems to have lost entire arms, just partial or whole fingers.
      also, what kind of an attitude is that? to answer an honest question with?
