    I like the end results but kinda feel you could substitute the paper towel part in favor of plastic wrap and a heat gun to make it faster and get the same results

    • @VanOaksProps
      @VanOaksProps  3 роки тому +1

      Painting plastic wrap might not last, since it isn't porous, but I know people have had success using plastic wrap for corpsing plastic skeletons and have been able to paint it. I'm just not sure about its longevity.

      @@VanOaksProps From what I have seen if you use a latex watered down it should hold up well. That is if its not gonna be taken up and down a lot. I would think you should get a couple of years worth of use out of it. And that is all you really need as your displays morph and change over the years and do not stay stagnant.

    I love this idea. I want to make a swamp monster that would go outside by the creek next to my house. Would packaging plastic work instead if papertowel? I feel the paper towel would deteriorate over time with rain and the plastic would hold up longer with the elements and still melt and adhere with the heat gun.

    • @VanOaksProps

    • @VanOaksProps
      @VanOaksProps  3 роки тому +3

      Thanks, Paul! Between the glue (regardless of which kind you use) and the acrylic paint I think you'd be alright on both points. The glue & paint both allow for some flex to the vine. The biggest challenge would be making sure that you've really coated every piece of towel when you apply the glue.

      It might be easier than the shop towels since newspaper would absorb the glue faster due to how thin it is. Getting texture would be about the same though. Just wrinkle is as you apply it.
