- My second attempt to lay up a Gooney Bird mask for Super Fan Patrick. You saw on my last video that there are substantial problems getting a latex mask to form inside a fiberglass mold. But that's how we used to do it in the 70's, before we discovered plaster mold making techniques. We made all our masks out of latex in fiberglass molds, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Hey Aaron the reason why you are having problems are the solvents in the fiberglass molds they prevent the latex from curing properly or at all.. usually epoxy is recommended these days.
Look into getting a spray on sealant to prevent problems with the polyester solvents in fiberglass molds which can last for YEARS so I've heard.
Keep up the good work. Love to see your passion still being there.
The nice thing is that you're getting very close, look at how at least some of the features stayed intact when you pull out that mask! You could sell that on eBay and I guarantee someone would buy it.
I can back that; I know a handful of people who would probably want it regardless of condition.
Resilient as always mate - don't give in!
*rewatching these in quarantine* Also, hope everyone is doing alright if you’re also seeing this!
The thing is that you did your best and you uhhh.... And you asked a friend out in attempt number 3 and he made a mold for you and when you put
the liquid in the Looney Bird mood and let it dry and you pulled it out it came all together so congrats Aaron Fechter.😃
I believe in you aaron, you can do it!
+TheAnimatronicFollower ayyy
I was watching for a good 45 seconds before I realized why you picked this song. Hopefully you'll get it soon! Keep us updated!
cool I'm glad you tried again
keep trying
Did you perhaps use a mold release agent? Something that the latex would stick to, rather than the fiberglass its self?
Is there any way you can contact any of the old craftsmen that worked at CE? It looks like that's your best bet on getting that done cheaply.
Also, sorry about the Wolf Pack not having a home. I was there when it got auctioned off last week.
Try making a plaster mold like you said, or make the latex less watery
You are so close keep it up!
Don't give up!
Hey, Aaron! How're you doing? Cool project!
Don't you have the VHS tapes for doing this??
I don't think Aaron's company made VHS tapes...
+MichaelsShortFilms They had a few VHS tapes, mostly for diagnosing newly built characters at CEI's other warehouse.
Could you please make more rock afire explosion videos featuring the band?
I saw your Rock a fire explosion show in the preview for the new move Keanu, why?
aaron fechter, I have an idea, i would fill it to the top, let it sit for a week an a half and see what will happen, you said the plug was made from a 2 month period. I might be that fiberglass changes over time not making it able to sustain conditions for mask making
Weren't the skins originally made of Vinyl or Urethane? That mold was not meant for latex
It's all trial and error, you were close to, but if I know you Aaron you will succeed!
Did you put in mold release before you put the chemicals in? If you are still having trouble write me back, I know a few friends in the toy industry that are more pro than myself at casting toy models in different materials that might be able to give you some tips for what they do. We work more with resin but maybe in swapping tips we might be able to help you figure out what to do? (I think I still have your email if they might know and you are still stuck.)
You and I should work together sometime in the future, I have an idea for a theme park and campground resort, and I know where we can put them in.
You can do it!
Hey Aaron,maybe try using different latex?
Is there any pictures of Gooney bird?
I wanna see ;-;
If you google search for the Hard Luck Bears show, you can find a few pictures of the band with Gooney bird in them. Like in the Rock-afire, he was located on stage left.
the form rubber is the kind that expands look around you must of found an inside plug mold too!!!! that gos in side so when it expands the piece will come out hollow.
Cool
Hey Aaron why don't you try and find some of your workers that used to work at CEI? we have a friend who used to work for you and we call him Snapper :)
Snapper Ard?
+Mybdai4 Gaming Yeah!
Nice
I think it was the hot air because latex melts
how much will it be for Rolfe head
I think one of the biggest problems was that Aaron dumped latex into the mould. It tore the skin that was begging to form. Maybe a gentle stream would have worked. Not sure! Just my opinion!
How are the molds made?
make the plastermold from the gooney plug you have
Aaron you can do it I believe you
Aaron try to make the latex more or less liquid like (btw you can see chunks of latex in be try to not use chunks or use a different type of latex)
how do i make 5 gallons of liquid laytex
Could it possibly be the latex
Hey Aaron, what is the Gooney Bird character?
He was the original Looney. He has a longer nose, which made it hard to lift him out of his barrel.
From The Hard Luck Bears I think, right?
Ok great! Shame it is soo hard!!!
+Mybdai4 Gaming so they remade him with a shorter nose and called him Looney Bird?
+HuntingFoxz basically, they also made him have more red. By the way hi Harry, remember me?
I'd work there.
They must of used form rubber in the fiber glass molds not latex.
Is gooney a different animatronic from looney bird
Gooney bird is from the hard luck bears show
Tama-chan ahh
+Tama-chan yeah. she is the bird that gets her face smacked
The little Aaron who could
Can you make a Billy Bob mask for me?
Aww man, you were close :c
Can you make a billy bob mask and a fatz mask please
how many LAYERS
aaron look up some of your old videos and see if u can learn again
JEEPERS! What a mess.
that music tho
Great work, but the music needs to be turned down more, it's irritating. But still good job
Sorry it wasn't working for you..I guess time changes the material!
you can do it.
Hmm...how about just layer the fibreglass mold with plaster...then you'll have a fibreglass mold in plaster!
That doesn't make any sense
the plaster molds have tiny holes in them that allows the latex to dry more efficiently, the fiberglass ones are pretty much sealed
I don't think that's true. I make plaster molds and they don't have holes in them. if they did it would leak latex out.
ShowbizPizzaFan I meant microscopic holes, they are large enough for air to circulate but not for the latex to leak out
+ShowbizPizzaFan it's a case of pores in the plaster I believe
pour butter on it!
a blow dryer isn't gonna help. it will screw up the fiber glass
I thought that was loony bird not goony bird
I can see this video already being blocked because of the music
It's not
Oh, that's a shame.
Google it Aaron it might help
man if you are seeing my comment Aaron can you at least stay alive for at least 20 years i want to get the band of the rock a fire i cant keep going on youtube i want to have the last show band
