I use this stuff quite a bit, painter's caulk, I actually use the clear stuff a crap load, I mix it with stage blood n it works super well, I use it with unwound jute rope and it gives a super fleshy look, I'm experimenting with a bunch of other stuff, hoping to get enough good stuff to sell :D
I am making a full body Pan's Labyrinth's faun ( 8 1/2 feet tall ) using this technique,newspapers on tape body casts. Is almost ready for painting. Even the cat is afraid of coming inside. LOL! It looks so real, I am afraid that my neighbors are going to trow a fit when I put this baby outside for Halloween!Take care.
I have never seen your channel before now and I have to say, you wre cracking me up with your subtitles! The skull was awesome when it was finished. I'm impressed!
Thank you, i love all your videos! This looks awesome. Given all the supplies and tools in these videos, you still have to have a natural artistic eye/ bone to achieve this level of craftsmanship🏆
it helps, but mine is aquired over time and the ability to learn about the project im on from waht happened in the last project. thansk for your kindness.
I've done this with the cheapest version of Liquid Nails, but I never thought to thin it out. I've always just smeared it on the prop undiluted. It makes a great coating for paper mache and Great Stuff foam props. Now, I'll give this one a try. I need to churn out a lot of little guys this season, so this will help to stretch the budget.
Excellent. I tried this today. I gave it a nose and lips which didn't look too great and the woodstain I had was too dark, but it still looks pretty cool. Has a shrunken head look to it. Thanks for the reply and the video!
im stil at the paper mache/bucky skull stage at prop building and look forward to trying this as a way of waterproofing them. looks like 1 tube of caulk could be streched out a long way. thanks again for the great tip
I still have not ordered the pink glue sticks yet. I need to do that. I've made teeth and used them in a few sculpts so far. I've done this with elmers glue as well. Works pretty good but not as cheap as this. You Rock
I just realized how fucking genius this video is because the factories or whatever the fuck actually add a small amount of ammonia to the latex for whatever reason
@DjMikal7 LOL, yeah I have faith he will pull up. He is awesome with an airbrush and body paint. Lots of good people on the show this season- last season I thought I would have done well, this season....not so much. lol.
I had great results with spray insulation and some smearing over plastic wrap ... corpsing out a skull mask and a wire frame rib cage as a yard decoration .
I'm sort of curious to see how far Matt Valentine goes. I love his creatures while he was at Torment and am enjoying the stuff I've seen from Global Fear. Great tutorial as usual.
I think you would have a ton of problems going that route, it will not come out of a plaster mold and is not that flexible when it dries. Also we have no idea what chemicals it would leach into your skin.
Does ammonia have the same thinning properties as naphtha? I was thinking of making a werewolf for next Halloween and thought of using spider webbing for really cheap light weight fur ( Ive seen black webbing at times). Is there any possibility of dying spider webbing with stain or paint on plastic spray paint.
Griffin, is it the application of the dried latex acrylic that allows you the capability of wiping of the stain without it soaking into the paper towels? In the past I have used shop towels for strength and than applied the paper with glue as the binder so I imagine that I would have to overcoat with the latex acrylic to get the same wipe off capability?
Once again sharing a cool technique that will stretch my meager Halloween budget! I was wondering if you could tell me if the Tandy leather stain is weather-proof? I live in Massachusetts where I often have to contend with snow and rain in October.
Love it....I heard you say you made the teeth out of hot glue. ...do you have a how to video on how to make them? Thank. You for all your videos ..came across the first one while looking to do a new project and now I'm hooked.
Thanks, this will help to extend my limited budget. That and the self life of caulking is alot longer then latex in a bucket. Side note: Is there a way to extend the life of left over latex?
@@StiltbeastStudios I have corpsed my skellies in the past with plastic but saw others use the paper and caulk method which definitely looked like it took longer. Thanks again.
Hey StiltbeastStudios Allen why the ammonia? Could anything else be used? And is this a good substitute instead of that expensive mold builder liquid latex from Michaels?
If you google search "Tandy Antique Leather Stain" the first result should be the Tandy webpage where you can buy the stain. About 10 bucks for an 8 oz bottle

I can't wait to try this. Your video was great, and your typed comments made it even better! Loved them!
You never ceases to amaze me. You have given me so many cool ideas of things I want to try. Thanks.
I'm so glad!
I used this technique on a skull this weekend and it turned out AWESOME! THANKS!!!!

Love to see pictures of that!
Your commentary bro lol too funny . Good job. Looks so much better. Ive been trying alot of stuff from your videos. Very cool stuff. Thanks

I am so glad I discovered your channel!
Me too!!
I have never seen your channel before now and I have to say, you wre cracking me up with your subtitles! The skull was awesome when it was finished. I'm impressed!
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Thank you so much for the inspiration. And please keep them coming. Going to go look at the glue gun teeth.
The teeth show up in my spray foam skull mask video as well- Im so glad you like the videos!
I just knew I wasn't the only one to try and use caulk. Was just never sure what to paint it with. Thanks.
glad you liked the video
Absolutely amazing how simple but looks so professional. I'm doing this.
Thank you, i love all your videos! This looks awesome. Given all the supplies and tools in these videos, you still have to have a natural artistic eye/ bone to achieve this level of craftsmanship🏆

So inspiring to watch your videos - you make me want to make things I have zero use for!

Allen, I LOVE the Zombie Manor shirt!!! REPRESENT!!!
No problem, happy to help.
You do some amazing work! Great talent!
It has an orange cast to it, if you apply when it is wet it does darken it up.
I still have not ordered the pink glue sticks yet. I need to do that. I've made teeth and used them in a few sculpts so far. I've done this with elmers glue as well. Works pretty good but not as cheap as this. You Rock
I just realized how fucking genius this video is because the factories or whatever the fuck actually add a small amount of ammonia to the latex for whatever reason
Absolutely Love It! It definately inspires me to try stuff like this at home.
Great video. I bet I've got 30 of thoughs skulls. I will definitely try this.
Thanks
Greg
I have to admit as much as I loved your haunt class last week I kinda missed something getting antiqued lol. Great vid I will have to try it out soon.
And you just solved my biggest problem now I gotta address the small ones
yes, he is a talented guy.
Thanks for the info. Not one to mix chemicals randomly. Good job on your $1 skull.
@DjMikal7 LOL, yeah I have faith he will pull up. He is awesome with an airbrush and body paint. Lots of good people on the show this season- last season I thought I would have done well, this season....not so much. lol.
This is now fast becoming my favorite channel- thanks for taking the time to film and your captions are frikkin ass funny! Very cool man-
Yes, use a gel wood stain if you can get it.
it does shrink some, but not a lot, maybe 5%. And yes, I love his stuff.
great work once again Mr Hopps!
yeah I worked there for a few years.
That turned out to look really nice. Great video. (Y)
You're so awsome and hilarious.....great video!!!
you are correct sir!
I had great results with spray insulation and some smearing over plastic wrap ...
corpsing out a skull mask and a wire frame rib cage as a yard decoration
.
So freaking cool trying this now
Do it!
@Sn00kyCr00ksWorld Ears are mostly cartilage, so they take longer to decompose, I added the towels to it to mimic flesh- ears are part of the flesh.
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing!
I'm sort of curious to see how far Matt Valentine goes. I love his creatures while he was at Torment and am enjoying the stuff I've seen from Global Fear. Great tutorial as usual.
yes.
@matteri561 technical difficulties...it is uploading now. It will be a youtube Thursday I'm afraid.
@WCHCOR I have never tried. I dont think it would stick though as silicone is VERY tricky to paint.
They are hilarious actually.
No it is not, but a spray sealer works wonders for protecting it. Leather sheen spray from tandy works great!
Past Stiltbeast is Awesome! Present Stiltbeast is Awesomely Awesome - lol. Thank you 👍
Look at that Brown beard !
I'd suggest wearing dish gloves and a quality filtered mask, especially if you don't want an ammonia headache for the next 3-4 days!
Your Awesome. I just subscribed
Thats awesome thanks for the tutorial
I know this is older but I remember Skull Kingdom!Its in Orlando off the main strip!
I think you would have a ton of problems going that route, it will not come out of a plaster mold and is not that flexible when it dries. Also we have no idea what chemicals it would leach into your skin.
it is wetter, does not get as firm, and is water proof.

Is there any possibility of dying spider webbing with stain or paint on plastic spray paint.

id go with small amounts.
So super love it!!
Thank you for sharing, thanks for the technique & to make me smile with your jokes :)

"Really hard to upside down and backwards" That is what she said. lol. Great skull!

heh-heh-heh... he kept saying 'caulk'... heheh-heh!
Great video!
Thanks, this will help to extend my limited budget. That and the self life of caulking is alot longer then latex in a bucket.

That was cool thank you!
look up my tooth plate video
Very cool
Fantastic! Thank you for a
There’s nothing wrong with silence on a video. At least you sound like a human, unlike some who sound like a flight attendant or a computer.
Cool idea .....now how about doing a foam latex mask or appliances....
LOVE IT!!
Can I use the tandy stain on silicone pieces too?
BTW, yet another great video tutorial!
I love the videos... I have the skulls done... where can I find the leather stain besides on line? Halloween is coming up thanks
I wonder if the water based silicone would work??
Which do you prefer for the end result if you have an entire skeleton, this method with the caulk and paper or just using plastic wrapped?
I prefer the plastic wrap look myself and it takes less time.
@@StiltbeastStudios I have corpsed my skellies in the past with plastic but saw others use the paper and caulk method which definitely looked like it took longer. Thanks again.
Aaaaaamazing!!!
excellent, but i have a question what is that yellowgreenish gallon liquid?
Its a mess but look at the outcome. Amazing! Had to sub
Is wood stainer a viable alternative to the leather stuff? I'm struggling to find the stuff you use in the UK.
Should I make this in small amounts or does it last if you cover it?
Out of the silence comes creative ideas...
there is so much Halloweening to do!
Where do u find the dollar skulls only ones i find are 7 to 10 bucks and there just cheap foam
Could you do the same mixing but with Mineral spirits instead of ammonia
no, its better to thin it with ammonia or even water- no need for such a harsh chemical.
Hey StiltbeastStudios Allen why the ammonia? Could anything else be used? And is this a good substitute instead of that expensive mold builder liquid latex from Michaels?
+Hauntguy311 Its a good substitute for corpsing, not for any other application. Ammonia is traditionally used to thin latex.
0:33 scissoring the tip with the handle, omg i am SO doing that from now on.
X'D you made a reference to the bionic man.
Can this withstand being in the weather for a month?
yes, as the caulking is weather proof
You should probably get an editor that makes it easy to do voice over. But another great video !
Even easier, I dont have time to make videos!
StiltbeastStudios not making videos - that would make a lot of people sad. 🙁
I love vids, but im not that good , and this stuff , would love to know more. and your funny .
Why ammonia?
I kinda like the quiet parts.
You can get tubes of caulk at Yard Sales real cheap...
I bet you can!
Would this work for the spell book as well?
Is it chemical stinky for days after?
not really
You should do movie props.
Where did you order your Tandy's antique leather stain from?
If you google search "Tandy Antique Leather Stain" the first result should be the Tandy webpage where you can buy the stain. About 10 bucks for an 8 oz bottle
Thanks, I wasn't sure what size bottle you were using in your video.
How does this mixture compare to monster mud?
Will this work for outside props. If not what is the best technique for a props in all kinds of weather in Michigan.
it will, the foam is meant to be outdoors- but latex will rot in time if exposed ti UV light.
the best for outdoors is fiberglass props, but they are a pain to make.
