Full head life cast with plaster bandages?
Can I make a full head cast with just plaster badages? And use it as a mold to make a plaster cast?
I know the best way to do it is with Alginate, but I want something simpler. I don’t really need alot of detail either, just the general shape to use as a base for a mask. Is there a specifc brand I should use, or is any brand fine? I was going to get gypsum plaster bandages.
Thanks
Don’t do it!
The plaster will bond to your hair … I mean ALL your hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes. It can be painful, trying to remove it.
Use alginate … it is less likely to bond, and can be separated fairly easily.
