Thanks Chris! It's see quite a bit of use and is working very well.

Hi Colette, Sure! • Dayton OEM High Temp Blower (from Grainger) Model 1TDV3; • Adjustable Temperature Control Switch (from McMaster-Carr) Model 3626K67 or o Model 35055K71 (±4° vs. ±12° for 362K67); • Strip Heater (from McMaster-Carr) Model 3619K871. Good luck! ~t

Peter Steiner Peter, I'll get those numbers for you. That's definitely something I should have done for the video.

Peter Steiner www.mcmaster.com/#heater-temperature-controls/=x3d3vl - You want the 60-250 version, either with or without the enclosure; the heating element is this one: www.mcmaster.com/#heat-elements/=x3d5ah - 3" wide, 24"; 120V AC #3619K871.

tdebreceni Thanks Todd! This is going on the Summer "To-Do" list!!!!

Peter Steiner Easy weekend project!

Just make sure it doesn't interfere with good airflow through the box. Try to mimic how I've attached it to my oven.

Yes.

Hi Krystyna - It's cheap foam insulation that comes in sheets that I bought at Home Depot.

@@tdebreceni how thick where the sheets of insulation that you purchased?

@@krystynanormand652 the sheets are 1", but I doubled them, so 2".

Definitely on your balcony, but out of weather. It will stink up your apartment.

That information is in my book, as well as in a multi-part tutorial that Stuart Bray and I wrote for Prosthetics Magazine (issues 5 & 6)

@@BattlesWithBitsofRubber thank you, is your book offered online? also i was thinking about using an electric smoker i believe it has a heating coil inside which can heat the interior to a desired temperature set on an electric screen.

@@kbfxmonstertutorials3386 You can buy my book online through Amazon or my publisher. It's called 'Special Makeup Effects for Stage and Screen.'

The dimensions are all in the video.

Hi Brian, I would not use a toaster oven as it's likely too small, and you can't regulate the temperature low enough. A convection oven is ideal as it keeps an even airflow throughout. However, you don't want that oven to be the same one you prepare food in! I do not bake my foam above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes longer, but the foam is softer, and there is little danger of over-baking it. You could make a plywood box, line it with insulating foam sheets, and use heat lamps. That was my first oven. You'll need to monitor the heat, as it can quickly get hot. Holes on either side of the box and a fan to pull air through will help. You might want t o try a ceiling vent fan from someplace like Home Depot or Lowes.

Something about the size of your kitchen oven should be large enough to let you do molds of varying sizes.

Thanks a lot for commenting. It seems really expensive. Maybe I should work with silicone for now, and I though that was pricey. Thanks so much, though @@tdebreceni

Yes, with good ventilation.

@@BattlesWithBitsofRubber Would you put the ventilation in the oven or the room? I'm wondering because I'm going to build one here soon.

When I built it and made this video, yes.

@@tdebreceni is there any way to radically reduce the cost? Maybe to 150?

@@altermann1ify doubtful, but I'm sure costs could be lowered; you could remove the convection component by losing the blower, but the wood and hardware alone will be more than $150, unless your family owns a lumber yard and a hardware store. If you figure it out, let me know!

@@BattlesWithBitsofRubber Thanks. Yeah, I'm strapped for cash. That's just too much money for making a few masks, at least for me. living on a fixed income isn't fun

@@altermann1ify Get a cardboard box big enough to contain your molds and cut the bottom off. Then line it with aluminum foil shiny side inward. Punch a hole in the top and stick a hair dryer in there and experiment with how much time and what settings on the hair dryer to cook the foam best. It is temporary, but I've used it to great effect in emergencies. Every hair dryer is different so experimenting is key. You can even shove a meat thermometer into the top to help gauge temperature.
