I do wonder why people use duct tape when plaster casting materials are pretty easy to get and probably about the same cost. This tape is a little different. Packing tape. The trick for shape is short pieces of tape in the challenging curves. I hate the glue that is going to come oozing out with duct tape. You would have to paint over plaster. Fiberglass casting tape however, would be fine without a coat of paint. Then there is poor man's fiberglass made with white or carpenters glue and fabric. That would probably take too long to dry. You would have to wear it for hours and hours! I like the spray foam, but how many cans? I would use something cheaper for a center filler and then the spray foam to fill the gaps and make it solid.
interesting creating a personalize self to do patterns on. love the idea.
Muchas gracias, saludos.
Ut-oh, i know who's changing the brown paper on the cutting table! 😮😂
Muito bom ! Gostei 😍🇧🇷
Ah ha! this is the best idea- using expansion foam. So SMART!
Thank you. I’m on my way to my own body double.
How many cans of great stuff foam sprays is you use
How does this do with pinning things to them? Any cons or things to watch out for?
They may be a bit harder to pin into than a cloth-covered dress form, but once past the paper tape, the foam core takes pins quite easily!
How much foam did you use?
Did you try cling wrap at all under the base? How much of the paper roll do you use? And, how much of the expanding foam?
