    Your response about the towel holder "I ruined it. So she got a new one and I got a skull holder".... cracked me up. Do it again and she'll have your head on a stick.

    I have a couple of tips to share from one Artist to Another !
    1. If you have something with the hardened Hot Glue on it " such as your Wife's paper towel holder , you can stick the item in the Fridge or Freezer for a little bit and the hot glue will pop right off !!!
    2. When working with glue that comes in tube form, rub a little bit of Vaseline on whatever you don't want the glue to adhere or dry on ( such as your hands ) ! It makes it so much easier to remove , rather than pick off of your skin !
    Bonus Info ... Put Vaseline on the tip of the tube for easy removal of the cap next time !!

      Nice, thanks!!
      Well, the paper towel holder is toast, but I have me a skull holder now (I bought my wife a new one). Thanks for the vaseline tip. After every tutorial I look like my cat when he is grooming, just picking glue and stuff off of my hands.

    The whole time while watching this, I was trying to think of a way I could mass produce these (faster) so my daughter could use them with her 4th graders. I thought it would be cool to have the kids paint them their own unique way. Very cool idea. On a scale of one to ten I give this a nine!

  • @LaineyBug2020

    • @tammygurl64
      @tammygurl64 6 лет назад +6

      Lainey Bug. I agree! 👍 I was thinking very similar thoughts. I think they'd be great with a little paint or stain and maybe a little glow in the dark paint with white, black, or red lights inside them and strategically placed for a great Halloween 🎃 display whether it be placed on a stand in various places with raggedy and/or pirate-y clothing draped over it or strung together like a giant strand of electric or battery candle or tea lights at an entry way. Sounds like a lot of work but worth it if one turns their work into a fun party with yummy weird snacks. 🎃

    I'm a sculptor (amateur) and I love the idea of creating a skull form armature. This would be super fun to do for a Halloween sculpt as a base for a mummy or zombie or something. Plus just as a regular skull they look awesome.

    • @Isabella-iq8vz
      @Isabella-iq8vz 6 лет назад +1

      Yep, just shove the whole thing in the freeze for like a day or two and then pull the skull off. the hotglue doesn't do good with cold.

      @KimiW 6 лет назад

      Nice idea! 👍👍
      I wonder if ever-so-lightly coating both the towel stand (after adding/drying the glue blob) and the skull💀 with petroleum jelly might prevent the ruin of your holder AND ensure the molded plastic doesn't stick to the skull itself.
      Anyhow, thanks for the fun, down-to-earth tutorial!

    • @ronthompson929
      @ronthompson929 6 лет назад

      You could have removed the hot clue with the heat gun and a paper towel. Heat the glue till it melts and wipe it off. Bet you tried to scrape it off with a knife and scratched it. Well, now you don't need to make a tutorial about how to make a molding stand.

      Good idea, I always felt bad taking a good (read expensive) skull and covering it up. This technique allows me to corpse away, and repeat.

    Thanks for that. I have seen other tutorials for this project but they always say you can't use a cheap plastic skull to start so I've never tried it. I have several of the same skull you used so now I know it will work on them. I'm excited!!!!

    • @MonsterTutorials
      @MonsterTutorials  7 лет назад

      I'm sure if you heat it long enough, they may melt together, or if you push too hard with the sponge, you may deform the hot skull below. So, if done carefully, I don't see an issue with using plastic skulls, especially the hard plastic ones.

    I have another idea you might try. What if you cut a slit from top to bottom and put the skull in then tape or glue the slit shut. Drill a hole in the cap and install a fitting that you could hook to a hose. You could then hook up a small vacuum and heat the jug with the heat gun or possibly rig up a way to put the whole thing in an oven. After you essentially vacuum pack the skull in a melted milk jug, you could cool it and lightly pressurise it to help it release. Cut away as much as you have to, and remove the skull. I'm not dissing your way by any means, I just thought that this could be a cool experiment.

      I thought it was odd, to start a video telling the viewers to "hold on a sec", because you're on the phone... That just seems strange. I mean he could have simply waited to press record, logically. But eh, strange is good a lot of the time.
