hey guys,
I found out a simple way to make fake, cheap, realistic severed hands. lets do this is steps. also see pics below.

you will need-
1) Cheap Rubber Gloves (i found mine at a flea market... Came W/20 gloves)
2) Great stuff
3)skin tone paint..... red paint)

step 1) take out the rubber glove and fill it, starting with each finger, with great stuff. Once you filled up the whole hand, paint it. SEE ITS THAT SIMPLE!
2) allow it to dry. It will take a while!

You are correct, cheap and easy! Thanks for the tip!

Is it possible to cut away the glove, or does the Great Stuff completely stick to it?

Great Tip! I did same thing when I needed hands for a Zombie. I placed cut peices of a coat hanger to made the fingers posable.

you could take the glove off, but the great stuff is not that durable so it may possibly lose a finger, so i keep the gloves on mine. And the wire coat hanger is a very nice idea. I will do that for my next batch!

Have I read that the Great Stuff is dangerous to bare skin? If so - I recommend that you wear a couple of those gloves while you are working with it! Nice job!

it is also dangerous to carpet... i made the mistake of dropping a pvc candle i was making in the living room while the great stuff was still soft... my wife all but killed me. lol, there are still spots of dried great stuff in the carpet. i think i am goin to have to cut it out

You should have waited till it dried and pulled it off.
After it drys it is so much easier to remove.
