Tweet

This message goes out to any member able to help out a fellow haunter, this person will be reimbursed for your time and out of pocket expenses. experience preferred but not necessarry. I need someone who could make a mold and pour a pair of silicone hands and feet with an old lady as the life cast, done discretely without insult, or direcly from an existing prop. The limbs need to be highly detailed boney and wrinkled. I have found a video showing the ease of this proceedure and the supplier of materials. Painting is not required. YouTube - Mold Making and Casting: Silicone Hand

I'm still searchig if anyone can help.

How do you discretely cast somebody's hands and feet? Wouldn't they notice?

Are you saying we're to find the old person?

Just get friendly with your local mortician j/k

Evil Bob your right I think they would notice you casting their hands and feet. the key here is without insult, I don't recomend someone entice their model by saying they need to cast a pair of old wrinklly, arthritic hands and feet. Or do they.

UnOrthodOx yes, we all have one lying around don't we?

Pennywise, that sounds ideal when do you think you could have them ready?

I'll see what my grandma has to say.

I'm not sure but isn't there something unorthodox about that? I would be honoured if she would be willing.

That much alginate and silicone has got to be outrageously expensive. Does it have to be a life cast? Is there someting you can buy on-line that will do what you want?

To be honest I haven't priced the materials for this method of casting. I would like to keep cost down for materials, but am willing to pay generously for the work. I would be open to suggestions. My only goal here is to get a pair of old lady, wrinkled boney hands and feet what materials, method, life cast or cast from other means are all irrelevent and are open to personal preferrance. Thanks
