hi Stuart, love your work. got the DVD from Mould Life. May I ask if I'm sculpting many veins that are close to each other, it means have to do the cutting edges for Flat mould?
Hey! Thanks for the support. If you want silicone pieces with cap plastic encapsulant, then I would indeed do that. Personally though, I woukd make them in a flat mould but use a Prosaide Based paste such Bondo, Prosthetics Transfer Material (PTM by Tinsley is fantastic) or similar. That doesn't need a cutting edge doing as there is no cap plastic involved.
yes, I'm using silicon pieces cap plastic encapsulant. regret doing so many veins in one small area :( taking longer than I thought to do cutting edges :(

hey I have a question, I'm a beginner at this I tried making a prosthetic with melting cap plastic edge but I couldn't melt it somehow I wonder was it too thick or maybe I didn't clean exes silicone properly and I was left with layer of silicone what could be the problem here ? also pros aid was not sticking well at all :D ....
Where can I find the downloadable booklet for episode 61. Can’t find on website anywhere. Trying to help a student understand the concept and my words aren’t doing it haha
Hi Stuart. I am facing my bugbear: sculpting. So just to clarify, I have your mould at home from your course and I measured the distance between the prosthetic appliances edge and the flashing and sculpted it at the exact same distance. So should I instead push the flashing much closer to the edge of the prosthetic appliances Sculpt? Thanks, Arabella
Be guided entirely by how big you piece needs to be. Often this isn't critical with flat moulds....if absolute precision is required then I'd usually do it on a core made from a lifecast so there is no question. Whatever size your sculpt will be the footprint of the appliance will be larger by virtue of the cap plastic border necessary to contain and surround the silicone gel in the appliance and provide a blendable edge. Ensure your sculpt doesn't start life too large is all. Pieces stretch easily but do not compress, so you can always pull out a small piece to cover more ground if needed.
A nice prosthetic vid to cheer me up
Love it. Love that tour making more. Thank you both
Awesome. And congrats on the 75th podcast!
Excellent explanation, thank you.
Very very informative videos. Thanks so so so much.
