Thread: Fake Hand Fail...

Tweet

Well today i try this design. YouTube - Corpse hand tutorial and i used regular cheap glue. which didnt stick to any thing. not even to the duck tape. i riped off all the cottor balls now i have this frame. anyone have any ides? help would be AWESOME!!!

Latex is the best for this method. Rubber cement might work, but to be honest spend the cash on latex.

were would i get this stuff?

What kind of glue were you using? I always user Elmer's liquid glue and it works fine for projects like this.

you can also use carpet latex adhesive from any hardware store. It takes longer to dry so put it out in the sun when you are done.

i thought the stuff u get is from a craftstore?

Take a look at this tutorial Spooky Blue - The Grumble Scarecrow - Terror on a stick he uses carpet laytex. Now if you want to use glue elmers you can use it like this mix half and half with water. I use scotts shop papper towels the blue ones for skinning. now these are not flexible once dry but look amazing here is some examples.

thats sweet im looking into buying some latex glue.

I am starting this very same project and latex really is the only way.

Celuclay (pulp mache) from Michaels then skinned in paperclay or snotrag mache works just as well, it's just not flexible. Celuclay sticks to anything and it's much cheaper than latex.
