This was a great tutorial. Thank you for the video! Just a note from someone who works with expanding foam moulds daily: If you mist the plastic with water instead of using vaseline then you won't have the problem with gaps and bubbles. Expanding foam needs two things to work. . . moisture and air. If it can't get both it won't work correctly. :-)
Dear Maleah, thank you so much for watching and your advice! I did struggle with bubbles a lot and couldn’t understand what was the issue. Thank you, will try using some water 😊💝💝
Knowing how to make your own hat block Its a great skill, as wooden hat block are indeed very expensive especially when you jut starting out. I made a lot of hand made hat block at the beginning of my millinery career xx
Yes absolutely. The material is softer than wooden hat blocks so using pins for blocking is much easier. It is a great alternative for hat blocks even though it’s not as solid and lasting as wooden hat blocks. Hope that helps, Elena

You can really hammer on this and do all the operations needed to make a hat?
Yes absolutely. The material is softer than wooden hat blocks so using pins for blocking is much easier. It is a great alternative for hat blocks even though it’s not as solid and lasting as wooden hat blocks.
Hope that helps,

Is this block squishy or quite strong ?
It’s very light but quite solid and great for blocking purposes. Obviously not same as wooden hat block, but still serves a great job.
Wow
