But still not quite as cool as the Portal gun... no lighting effects, you see. ;{)><br /><br />I am completely inexperienced with prop builds, so I must ask: how did you get the crazy gradient soap-glass-like effect on the bead? As for the narrow extra bit left on the bead after the molding, how did you remove it, or did you conceal it back into the staff head?DaManDOHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858049676822298654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084116635851268935.post-46321669173850592010-05-29T19:36:30.268-04:002010-05-29T19:36:30.268-04:00Mother of God...Mother of God...Mr.Reaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06936056875835137995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084116635851268935.post-68417885327994037882010-05-25T16:30:28.696-04:002010-05-25T16:30:28.696-04:00I have some experience using brush on polyurethane...I have some experience using brush on polyurethane rubbers and it's extremely easy to work with AND is generally cheaper. Polyurethane comes in many thicknesses depending on how much detail your object has, but you can also offset that by adding many layers to the mold itself.<br /><br />http://www.polytek.com/cart/<br />http://www.smooth-on.com/<br /><br />Great site for buying polyurethane and learning more about their products.

Rebound 25 is specifically made for brush on molds as well, and can coat to a good thickness in just a few applications. I've never worked with urethane rubbers before, so I wouldn't know where to start.<br /><br />@ Vonwilbur: I love MDF. Depending on the thickness, it can be exceptionally strong. It really depends on what you need the piece to be; something thin and structural would probably be better served with using fiberglass, metal, or plasticHarrison Krixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01654002807717271968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084116635851268935.post-13886945298383042852010-05-20T18:41:10.745-04:002010-05-20T18:41:10.745-04:00I wanna ask a question, Is MDF a good material for...I wanna ask a question, Is MDF a good material for making props?
