Also, please tell me if there is anything I should improve while working on my tutorials.

Thanks a lot for your tutorial! I have to make a latex prothesist so it will help me a lot.
But I have one question, If I understand well your tutorial (It took me a certain time xD), your let the bottom of your hand on the clay, you building a wall and put plaster on the top for cover it (I'm all right?). You didn't get any burns? few years ago our art teacher show us pictures of burns caused by plaster (like you mention It), and It's freak me out xD My father give me a "white plaster", for "all type of works". He thinks It's not suitable for that, what do you think? A modeling plaster will be better? (like your. If It's possible, can I have the name of the band?)

To tell you the truth, the plaster barely warmed up... the thing with plaster is that the bigger the quantity, the more it warms up (just like any resin or two part compound). The quantity I put on my hand was small. And it hardened, I took my hand out and only after that it became warm... warm as in... oh, my hands are cold and want to warm myself up, that kind of warm... I only used one type of plaster, the modeling one, so I can't tell you if there is a difference between the construction one and the modeling one (although I heard the construction one hardens faster, that's all). You could actually try to mix the aproximate amount you will put on your hand and pour it in a box, to see how much it warms up.

Thank's a lot for your answer! I was just about to post you an another comment. I tried with the plaster of Paris, and I didn't feel any warm. I'm at the last step of your tutorial, the plaster is still drying. I just hope it will work because the plaster was not really fluid and It was hard to make correspond the two part!

Well, thanks a lot agian for your tutorial and you anwser

ps: I used plasters bands on the back of the wo mold, It was more solid because I didn't put a lot of plaster, It work great

*ShinjusWorkshop Apr 30, 2013

glad to hear the news! I never used plaster bands, I only heard of them and I got to see some. I heard they are great!

~yume-chan05 May 1, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

well, paslter bands save my two molds xD but the final result didn't work: the plaster didn't go to the finger so I put plaster from the bottom but it break when I tried to remove the two part mold

too bad xD

if it makes you feel better, the first time I tried it didn't work either

I don't really remember what happened, but I had to remake it....

Thank you for all your kinds words, I will try with alginate this time, but It's not fair! Plaster his more cheap in your country =O ^^
thanks again <3

*ShinjusWorkshop May 3, 2013

oh, if alginate is close to the price to the plaster, then you should clearly use alginate! it's easier to work with and you get better results! In my case, alginate is really expensive in Romania... I think it's something like 30 euros per kg...
