Hey, honestly we never used our prosthetics in these kind of conditions but I would guess it won't melt on your face like a bar of chocolate. The only thing that might happen depending on ... how long you're wearing it, how long it will be exposed directly to the sun and how well it was applied etc. ... is that it will get pretty sticky and maybe it won't hold on to the skin that well anymore cause it gets hot and sweaty under the gelatin so it might come of quicker. I would recommend: take a small fan with you and keep it cool and dry as long as possible. And keep yourself or your actor as cool and dry as possible. And please let me know if I just told you bulls**t right now in case your prosthetic melted in 3 sec. after you stepped outside :D Than I´m really really sorry. But like I said can't tell you for sure cause we never used fx gelatin in these kind of conditions.
Gelatin sets when cold 15°C/60°F and melts at 25°C-40°C/77°F-104°F. So if it stays in range it should okay to stay on your skin. The big enemy besides heat is probably your sweat.
I love this!! I would like to know if you have the recipe for larger batches and if vegetable glycerin works too and can the gelatin be like Jello? Thank you for your response and for creating such AWESOME content.💞
But be careful. Don't mix it up with your kitchen mixer and don't bake it in your kitchen oven. You should use an extra mixer and an extra oven cause that stuff is toxic and you shouldn't use the gear with any food after using it with the latex. And usually you add a bit more than just latex like foam agent, gel agent and cure agent. But since we don't have those ingredients and won't get them any time soon, we won't be able to do a tutorial on that. Sorry! But there are a lot of tutorials or recipes on the internet so research a little and just try it out. Good Luck :D
At point 2.31 in video put it back in the microwave (8 seconds at a time) until it has melted again then add a drop or 2 of washing up liquid then whisk. It will increase in volume due to the air by up to 2 thirds. Pop it in fridge or freezer to set again. When you want to use it just re-melt in microwave and use it in the mold the same way you would normal gelatin. This is foam gelatin NOT latex it will act the same as a gelatin prosthetic but will be lighter
While ammonia is toxic in high concentration, it is also a gas and will not contaminate your oven. You might ruin your mixer if you don't clean it up soon after use, though.
Hey I liked your video. However I had a query if I can use the gelatin mixture directly onto my face to hide burn scars.. Please let me know if it can be done..
Hi 👋 i look 👀 great, i have a question how long it takes or can be on the place?! face, arm, or legs when is painted?! It can melt on?!Let say if you have to paint the gelatin prótesis 👍👋 ciao
Hey, I would be careful with just using simple acrylics cause to 90% they will crack. You can check out our very first tutorial "How to create a bloody hand" th-cam.com/video/0p3QV4uU83c/w-d-xo.html. We did´t use FX Gelatin in this one but the principle is the same. If you need materials maybe check this out: Make Up: www.amazon.com/Grimas-Water-Face-Paint-Palette/dp/B00LFOVVUI/ref=pd_sim_sbs_194_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41jVOHMLfWL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR115%2C160_&refRID=19W13NRR3GWB879402A1 (I would recommend water-based makeup cause you can wash it of much easier than oil-based) Fixing Powder: www.amazon.com/Grimas-Fixing-Powder-transparent-water-repellent/dp/B01D0SGH1Y?ie=UTF8&keywords=fixing%20powder%20grimas&qid=1465500462&ref_=sr_1_cc_2_a_it&s=aps&sr=1-2-catcorr (they are quite expensive since they are from the Netherlands) But if you want to pre paint it like in the tree bark tutorial. Take acrylic paint and mix it with a bit of PROS AIDE: www.amazon.com/Pros-Aide-Original-Adhesive-oz-Tronics/dp/B011M4QBX2?ie=UTF8&keywords=pros%20aide&qid=1465500953&ref_=sr_1_4_s_it&s=beauty&sr=1-4 (use alcohol to clean the brush) That should do the job. Hope it was a bit helpful. :)
I tried this and it didn't work. I put it in the fridge and it didn't set!!! Can anyone advise? Maybe its because I used vegetarian gelation powder? Thanks
Question: Will this become in any way, moldy? i heard that when used, u should use it that same day. I need it for a school project due in 2 days, and im not sure how long my teacher will keep it. it would suck if it rots. Please answer thank you~
+Aurora Angulo Hi, have you seen the "Gelatin Prosthetic" Tutorial (th-cam.com/video/jp3PX-S934U/w-d-xo.html) ? The prosthetic we made in this tutorial is still in our office and looks perfect. (since 5 months) If the FX gelatin is hard you can keep it for a long time. You can always reheat it to mold something new but like I already said as soon as the gelatin is hard you can keep it for a long time. Would love to see the project. You can send a picture if you want to. Good luck !!!
If I wanted to color the prosthetic and I wanted it to match the person's skin tone, could I mix it with liquid foundation instead of pain? I'm going to use makeup after, but just seeing so I don't have to do so much coverage once it's on the face.
You can lay foundation over it :) also SpecialFX nerds, you suggested craft paint.. NEVER use craft paint when its going onto the skin, it can cause severe reactions and is not skin safe
What is the glycerin good for? And is it like a soap kind of thing? Because I can't find the glycerin you've linked to on Amazon in any local shops here, just cleaning products who seem to have glycerin in it. I'm going to guess that won't work though?
Hey, ich brauche demnächst für eine Con spitze Ohren, will die aber nicht erst am selben Morgen herstellen. Könnte man die schon ein paar Tage vorher machen und an dem Tag dann einfach aufstecken oder meinst du, die gehen beim ersten Abmachen schon kaputt? Latex hält ja viel aus, aber Gelatine?
Punki80 ich bin der Meinung du kannst das 1-2 Tage vorher machen. Solltest du auch. :) und die Gelantine wird sehr elastisch ,dass ist also glaube ich nicht das Problem
What if I have a part that I want to put onto my skin, but don't want to melt too much? Can I use a hairdryer to melt just the back surface? Or should I apply a layer of molten gelatin?
Do you think it would work with agar agar instead of gelatin? I want to make a melting face but I don't want to use animal products. Where can I find glicerine? Also I don't have a microwave. Is it working on a stove?
There's vegan gelatin (Vegetable Gelatin) And it does work on the stove but you'll have to fill a pot with water and put the container with the gelatin on top
I trying this for the first time and I'm having trouble with it. I did the same thing you did but it won't get solid. what am I doing wrong? Would it be I'm using the wrong kind of gelatin? Or does that matter.
What kind of gelatin are you using? is it powder ? You have to make sure that you put it into the microwave bevor you use it for the first time. Let me know if you still have problems after doing all that. :)
you can use the stove, fill a pot with water and put a tiny container inside with the gelatin mix.If it doesnt get hard you might be using the wrong gelatin.
Hey, we made this tutorial about 11 months ago and we still have the exact same gelatin and its not moldy or anything like this. So it does last pretty long. :)
I like how well structured the tutorial is, and i like the magic appearing objects :D
I'm super excited to try this! Thanks for the tutorial:)
Duuuuuuuude!
This is amazing!!
I always wondered how to do this!
Thx a lot man!!
Thank you for the tutorial. Looks easy enough. Im gonna try this tomorrow. Thankx again. I subscribed after watching this
How well does it hold up in heat? I live in Texas and it can get pretty hot. Would it start melting if used in 90-100°F weather?
Hey,

can i use vegetable glycerin? it's my first time doing these gelatine SFX
thanks
How do you keep it from going bad?
Can I use this type of sfx molding on a nose? Like add it on top of a regular nose to make a "new nose" shape?
What type of makeup/paint do you use after applying the prosthetic to make it more realistic?
Love the knowledge and magic.
Hey,can you give a diy for homemade látex foam its for a homemade stop motion proyect
Danny trova whip up latex with a hand mixer, then once it's in the mold place it in the oven on warm

great tutorial! I'm going to try to use it for my sculpture, do you think it can melt, do you know the outdoor temperature's limits?
I don't have a microwave. I'm assuming boiling water will do the same trick?
How do you paint gelatin prosthetics? Can you use regular acrylics or do you need to use spfx specific makeup?

i love your tutorial pls upload more.
If we don't have microwave shall we do double heat
Can i use this for apply in a clay mask for made a prosthetic makeup?
excelente y gracias.
Do you have a mixing ratio for the gelatin vs the glycerin?
I tried this and it didn't work. I put it in the fridge and it didn't set!!! Can anyone advise? Maybe its because I used vegetarian gelation powder? Thanks

THX! Normally round about 700-900 watt ...
+SpecialFx Nerds oh perfect..... thaaaank youuu :)
fancy ahh microwave 🥴✨
Sofort gelatine...
Suspicious
Are you from germany?
Does it melt from body heat?
If I wanted to color the prosthetic and I wanted it to match the person's skin tone, could I mix it with liquid foundation instead of pain? I'm going to use makeup after, but just seeing so I don't have to do so much coverage once it's on the face.
Paint, not pain
sure you can use it
have you tried it? does it work? because i just had the same idea! xD
You can lay foundation over it :) also SpecialFX nerds, you suggested craft paint.. NEVER use craft paint when its going onto the skin, it can cause severe reactions and is not skin safe
Great video man!👍
I hope to see more great videos from you!
can I use hot water instead??
Do you have to use glycerine?
Nice video!
Thank u
this glycerin oil?
What is the glycerin good for? And is it like a soap kind of thing? Because I can't find the glycerin you've linked to on Amazon in any local shops here, just cleaning products who seem to have glycerin in it. I'm going to guess that won't work though?
PHeMoX try to get it from the baking section in your local store
I picked up vegetable glycerin at the healthfood store.
very nice.

Can the gelatin be replaced by agar powder?
I'm wondering the same thing
Good question.. agar powder or irish moss... maybe can be substituted
hey latex is sticking a lot and im having a hard time getting it into the bowl. what do i do?
There is no latex involved here.
did you even watch the video?
Nice video
will this rip easily
Depends on how you mix it together. It doesn't rip to easy but you have to be a bit careful with it.
What is fx gelatine
sfx means special effects, it's for special effects make up like making scars and stuff
Do you use liquid latex to stick on face?
just melt it and mold it onto the body part you want it on, it sticks onto you by itself when its melted
What if I have a part that I want to put onto my skin, but don't want to melt too much? Can I use a hairdryer to melt just the back surface? Or should I apply a layer of molten gelatin?
my gelatin won't desolve
Do you think it would work with agar agar instead of gelatin? I want to make a melting face but I don't want to use animal products.
Where can I find glicerine?
Also I don't have a microwave. Is it working on a stove?
There's vegan gelatin (Vegetable Gelatin)
And it does work on the stove but you'll have to fill a pot with water and put the container with the gelatin on top
can u uses gelatine that made of plants to?
kim Bijlsma yes
Charlotte Kurash Are you sure? Can I try agar agar?
Yes you can use plant based gelatin 😊
Can this be used for candy? i.e., gummy bears
@@BartenderSarah glycerin is edible
Huh I was wondering how to make that.
I trying this for the first time and I'm having trouble with it. I did the same thing you did but it won't get solid. what am I doing wrong? Would it be I'm using the wrong kind of gelatin? Or does that matter.

Michelle Stratton i experience the same problem. It won't get solid, i put at the ricecooker because i don't have microwave home.
you can use the stove, fill a pot with water and put a tiny container inside with the gelatin mix.If it doesnt get hard you might be using the wrong gelatin.
Great! Now I can make a giant gelatin booty! Thanks sfx nerds!!
I’d like to make large lips for a Halloween costume. Once the gelatin is made how to you adhere it to your skin?
Spirit gum :) you can also smooth the edges with liquid latex
for me it's foamy and bubbly and i can't use it :( anyone knows why? i made multiple batches and all turned out garbage
it's gets foamy when heated, just remove the foam after heating it up and that's it :3
How long does it lasts?
Hey, we made this tutorial about 11 months ago and we still have the exact same gelatin and its not moldy or anything like this. So it does last pretty long. :)
Does it dry out?
I am so weird lol, why am I making this stuff anyways. What even am I doing with my life.
神
I wanna make a fleshlight from it Lol
XD
I'm doing it right now >:D

Great video man!👍
I hope to see more great videos from you!
How long will this last?
Glycerin changes gelatin into a sort of plastic so it doesn't grow bacteria it lasts quite a while...
Great video man!👍
