No one should apply plaster to their face. Ever! There is non toxic alginates available. There is Also brush on Dragon skin silicone product. Reynolds carries products for life casting. There are also products from Smooth-on. If you use a silicone life cast material, you can't use a latex bald cap. The silicone won't bond and dry properly. This is a good starters video though. Plaster heats up very quickly with most brands and can cause skin burns. Also before using liquid latex, test if you are allergic to latex. Put a small quarter sized amount where your elbows and knees bend. It's delicate soft skin and is usually an area that gets moist or sweats slightly. If any redness or even mild itching occurs peel it off and don't use any latex products.
Burns are only a concern if used with hot water. Use with cool/cold water and it’s perfectly fine. They use plaster strips to make body casts, it’s not dangerous if used correctly
@@wallace5081 plaster gauze strips are used to strengthen alginate and silicone life castings they are used to make a solid ridgid frame work. Whether you are using alginate or silicone the molds would be thin and floppy without a plaster outer shell. Most castings are two part molds except hand , foot or face cast. I don't know anybody that would use hot water for pre made plaster gauze strips or their own mix to dip gauze strips, professionally or well versed amateurs. Room temperature water is the basic. Even a cast for a fractured body part medically has a soft lining under the plaster cast. If plaster is used over the skin it wouldn't pick up details in the skin such as large skin pores or small scars or the print of skin such as lip texture and the print on hands and fingers. Plaster will definitely cause serious skin irritation or first degree burns. It's not like concrete that you can get on your skin and wipe off. Plaster, It's direct contact for a period of time. That in most cases is a heavy skin irritant. If you've seen anybody use plaster strips for a life cast, they are well below amateur status. I do this part time and a hobby mostly. I was self taught but spoke with people who do this professionally. Professionals take a cosmetology coarse and obtain their license. It's not just for beauty makeup but you use it to know what kind of makeup, special effects application makeup and so you are educated in what not to use on a human subjects skin. Not using plaster, which contains lime, is not for life castings on another human beings skin. Liquid latex for cosmetic makeup of any kind is horrible as far as skin reaction. Especially when the skin sweats under it. Also casting latex is a hard no for skin contact. Older versions of alginate can be used but professionals have been using newer created alginates. They've moved away from the older formula. Most have gone to application silicone for life casting and prosthetics. It's low odor and skin safe. When I self taught, I used professional grade back in the 80s. Then I took courses. There wasn't RUclips videos or anything video self taught videos. I don't recommend you tube videos for learning unless the proper products and safety are included. For people interested in the special effects and want to learn correctly and are serious whether for hobby or wanting to learn for employment I highly recommend Stan Winstons school for character arts on the web. Get a subscription. You can do just one month and there are videos on every subject and are instructional. Life casting, prop making, how to make different types of blood. The top people in the industry are on it. I wish this was available when I was just a horror geek in highschool in 1986.
@@Bkmkarloff365 It will not cause severe burns nor is it guaranteed to cause skin irritation unless one is allergic to its ingredients. I found medical articles explicitly mentioning that the burns are due to using the wrong water temperature when applying the plaster. You can look it up yourself. Water has a very high heat capacity, and using lots of cold water will effectively neutralize any heat produced in the exothermic reaction from the plaster setting.
Hi am I able to use this plaster mold to make other masks out of a wall compound? I just want to use this one as the mold for future Venetian masks that I make, so that they have my face shape. Is it an easily breakable rock material?
It's too skinny. You should have but modelling wire to push the sides of the face out more. But thank you for the video tutorial, it's really helpful as I want to make a scarecrow!
I really need you to show me how to make a chainmail shirt, I made the coif along with you last year and it was so helpful, so I tried a shirt on my own and failed miserably, I hope you see this and perhaps consider it, also I love the channel
@@SkillTree Thank you so very much, I truly think you deserve millions of subscribers, your videos are so informational and easy to follow, you have helped me make so many things and have gotten me into so many new hobbies, I am proud to be able to call myself a skill monkey. (no need to respond to this one, I know you are a busy man)
@@jaxonbennion8764 I was into chainmail for a few years but I never made a piece bigger than a belt. I'd be stoked to see Cl3ver revisit the art for a shirt and maybe blend it with his leathercraft. ... of course, a scalemail shirt would be even cooler. 😁
Thank you for keeping video short and interesting - my adhd brains are thankful for that😂
i use tissue paper and diluted PVA glue. It is non toxic.
Hey Clever thank you this helps me a lot. Much love skill tree fam!
Glad I could be of some service!
Thank you sooooooo much. I've been looking for a solution to making a mask.
Yet another variation of Kit appears... Greaser Kit
So many MEEEEEEEEES!
It’s actually scarey

Except we have done it and continue to do it without issues!
I have seen other videos using aliginate, what do you think about that?
It worked out awesome! Thank you!

You could rest it on a palm sander if you have one
Awesome!
Next you should cast your hands! O.o
Do you use cold water or hot water plz?
Great video
Thanks!
Awesome! I love this channel
!
Thanks! This channel loves you!
I don’t recognize the name. But we would love to have you at our discord community. Check the description for the link.

interesting. there are better ways of getting more details in the face as well as eyelids. however this is a safer way.
Can leather be wet formed over plaster?
Absolutely!
Now make a cast of that then do a copper pour

@@aaronlittle5478 I too would be stoked to see that, and a belt is awesome! maybe he should do that as well, or a blanket
Is it just me or did the Patreon credits get cut off at the end?
It DID! Hmmmm. I wonder why. When I watch the completed fime on my PC it goes all the way.
See I told you that plaster cast was haunted. Stealing parts of videos....
Cool idea 👍 😊
Is it possible to make a head cast like this?
the channel “i like to make stuff” made a pretty good video about making a full head cast
@@bnnuyhun I'll check it out. Thanks!
Well, I won’t need the bald cap...
Lucky! That's half the battle!
you could add the face to a dummy and make a second you :P
Hi, really interesting - I really enjoy your videos. I'd be interested in talking to you about a colorabation if you are interested.
Sure! Just saw your email. I will drop you a line soon. Just need to wrap some stuff up here. Crazy month 😅
👍👍👍👍👍
You look like Dominic Cruz the UFC fighter.
