I'm actually curious to see some write-ups on Smooth-On's new epoxy putty used as a mother: http://www.smooth-on.com/a112/NEW-Free-Form%3D-Epoxy-Putty/article_info.html
At any rate, Gene, cast that beast already!

Yea, turns out that Youtube deleted the video due to copyright infringement, I used a copyright Song in the video.... I will make a new video and Post It Here in the next week or so.
Plasti Paste is good stuff! If I had the hundred bucks to buy it I would have. I had the cheap fiberglass already in my shop it cost me nothing when I bought it months ago. So I figured with the spell of warm weather we had I should use it and save some cash.
Under normal circumstances Plasti Paste is the 10000% way to go. Unless you can find fiberglass cheap and use it outdoors in warm weather.
Pros and Cons for both.

HA! You'll beat me next time, Daman...
Compared to Plasti Paste, though, it falls in line pricewise. The putty is a 1-gal kit, so 1 gal of both parts, for a total of 2 gallons, whereas the $88 Plasti-Paste II is a 1A:2B kit, and the original is the same ratio at $65...

depends on the product and the distributor ...just ask for the specs and you will know what you are getting. The smooth-on product is very cool by the way and has a bunch of great applications for mold making ..especially if you are doing silicone prosthetics. Gene ..I got to this thread too late bro ..now Im way curious as to whats on that workbench of yours

According to the pic on their site, the 1 gal pails look to be the size of the pails I got for the Rebound 25. Though, they could be fooling us by having little people hold the pails in this particular photo,
I am planning on hitting up Reynold's tomorrow for some more latex, so I'll see if they have any in stock and get a definitive answer (I'll totally forget...).Gene, the video turned out awesome and the revised mask is just plain STELLAR!

Speaking of.... I am trying to figure out which Silicone I want to mold this in. Any suggestions and reasons why?
I am used to the Mold Max 30 stuff for other items.
I am buying it tomm and pouring the mold over Thanksgiving break. I will check this thread from my phone at work and then buy the materials.
Thanks for any help DUDES!

How do you like using the Monster Makers Silicone? Seem like it is good stuff?

I used rebound for my custom bio . Once mixed it's thin enough for beauty coats and block molds. After a few minutes it's brushable or you can add a thickener for quicker use. Its also self degassing. A lot of pluses I really enjoyed.

I've only used brush-on, so I'm of no use either. Hopefully George chimes in with a recommendation. I though I had bookmarked his recommendation, but I'll be damned if I can find it in my links. All I can remember off-hand is that he high-pours it (Useless and DUH!), lol...
