I apologize if this is not the place to post this. I looked around, and figured it fit here..
What are your top 5 mask making essentials?
Ours are:
Great Lakes Clay - 341 Michigan White
We use multiple clays, but this one is our favorite since they are local. Actually gave us a tour of their facility.
USG Hydro-cal
We use this to create the hard mold around our clay sculpt.
Reynolds Advanced Materials (RAM) Casting Latex
From my understanding this is the sister company to Smooth-On and is also locally owned.
Smooth-On Flex Foam
When making a prop, rather than a wearable mask, we use this to fill the inside of a mask to make it rigid.
Master's Touch Acrylic Paint
We use a a couple of different acrylic paints on our masks and props, but definitely prefer the paint by Master's Touch.
!!BONUS!!
Monster Maker's Latex Paint
As mentioned above, we use many different brands of paint. This is another high quality brand that we use for painting our masks and props.
We have a whole write up with images about these products on our website. Is it against the rules to post a link to it?
