Omg, I am speechless 😮😮😮😮... I am shocked.... You are incredible 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. I can't even think about diy. You did it so flawlessly... Awesome 💪🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎉💐
I love it!!! Great tutorial. May I ask, would you use the same technique using a live model to cover in duck tape in order to make a dress form, then continue on as you did, then fill it with expanding foam? Would the fosshape keep its shape under pressure or would you need thicker layers? Have you tried filling it with expanding foam? Thanks for your video ❤
Fosshape needs extremely high heat to shape, and so I would highly advise against applying heat when it is on a live model. The steam is very dangerous. You could fill the form with something to stabilize the shape. If you check out Wonderflex.com, they have some videos and helpful tips for working with this versatile material. ☺️
Thank for that video, I have an old WOLF 1965 and the color is euhh dirty... I was looking for a way to give it a second life, I really love this method, do you think the Fosshape 300 would be ok?
Is the product stiff enough to use expanding foam to make a more solid dress form or would you need to add plaster bandages to the outer before casting?
The more steam/heat that is applied, the more it can harden, which requires a little more material so the fosshape fibers aren't stressed when they shrink. But it's still possible to have too much material. There is a limit to the amount the material will shrink/hardness.
I would imagine it would be uncomfortable heating it up to set it since it would have to be on your body to get the right shape. Steam burns are really nasty. And because it hardens, you wouldn't be able to pin into it either (if you planned to use it for draping)

Just saw your video with Adam Savage, glad so find the tutorial here! Is it possible to pin into the hardened fosshape?
Hello! Yes, the Fosshape remains pinnable after steaming!
Well done. I can see these being super handy. Also, your backdrop is looking good too!
Ahh thank you! I also love that background.. it's hard to keep it clean and clutter-free LOL!
This is amazing and looking forward to making one!
Awesome! I’m so glad to hear it! 🙌🙌

This is such a helpful video! Thanks for sharing!
Hello, very clever indeed. Could the form also be used for draping if stablised? Can you pin onto fosshape if it has been shrunk?
Yes! You can still cut and pin the Fosshape after it's been steamed and shrunk.
Can you stick pins into the fosshape?

I haven't tried that technique before. It sounds like it could be an interesting test!
From a little research I understand that the bigger you make the shell and thus the more it shrinks the stiffer the final result.
The more steam/heat that is applied, the more it can harden, which requires a little more material so the fosshape fibers aren't stressed when they shrink. But it's still possible to have too much material. There is a limit to the amount the material will shrink/hardness.
Where can I buy this item at a reasonable price?
Very cool!
They are so neat! I’m using this material for all sorts of other things too!
@@DownenCreativeStudios my mind is churning with possibilities. I hope you share more projects that you use it with
Do you think you can use Fosshape with the boot strap dress form pattern to make a dress form?
I would imagine it would be uncomfortable heating it up to set it since it would have to be on your body to get the right shape. Steam burns are really nasty.
And because it hardens, you wouldn't be able to pin into it either (if you planned to use it for draping)
@@grimnirnacht thank you
I don't advise steaming any material if it's on your body due to the probability of burning yourself.
You can actually still pin into it- the fibers don't harden as if it would if it was a hard thermoplastic like worbla@@grimnirnacht
@@DownenCreativeStudios that's really good to know, thanks :)
You are beautiful!
