Making My Prosthetics Pieces

Equipment:

-       Plastic base – non-pourous surface

-       Clay block

-       Sculpting tools

-       Hair dryer

-       knife

Method:

-       Take  a piece of clay from the block by cutting it off with a knife

-       Use a hairdryer on the clay to make it a bit softer and more malleable to sculpt

-       Place the clay on the plastic base and use the sculpting tools to create the shape you want of the clay.

-      When sculpting the shape, make sure the edges blend away like a slope around the shape.

Summary:

I found this part very tedious as it took me a day to create the mould. This is because I couldn’t make the edges properly without drawing away the shape and making it smaller and not the right shape I wanted. I think I did well smoothing it out in the end though.

 Equipment:

-       Cup

-       Measuring cups

-       Glue gun

-       Fixing spray

-       Petrolease spray

-       Pots A and B

-       Gloves

Method:

-       Wear gloves to protect from the substances you are using.

-       Spray the sculpt with fixer spray and wait to dry.

-       Then spray the sculpt with petrolease spray and wait to dry.

-       Cut the cup and use a glue gun to stick it down around the sculpt onto the plastic base.

-       Pour A substance into a cup and pour substance B into another cup at the same measurement of 50ml.

-       Mix A and B together to create silicon.

-       Pour the silicon over the sculpt and wait for it to dry.

-       When dry remove the silicon.

 Equipment:

-       IPA BRUH cleaner

-       Petrolease spray

-       Cotton buds

-       Baldiez

-       Acetone

-       Naptha

-       Sticks

-       Substances A, B and C

-       Pigment colouring

-       Scales

-       Measuring cups

-       Brush

-       Hairdryer

-       Gloves

Method:

-       Wear gloves to protect from the substances and sprays you are using.

-       Clean silicone with IPA BRUH cleaner using cotton buds

-       Spray the silicone with petrolease spray

-       Measure 100ml of acetone in a measuring cup and 50ml of baldiez in another. Mix them together

-       Use a brush to cover the mixture onto the silicone.

-       Use a hairdryer to dry this layer. Repeat this part again and make another layer

-       Using the scales measure 50g of A and B substances each and then 90g for C substance.

-       Mix these 3 together and put a very small amount of pigment skin colour into the mixture.

-       Pour the mixture over the sculpt shape in the silicone until full and spread it evenly with stick

-       Using a bud put Naptha on the silicone 1cm around perimeter of sculpt shape.

Summary:

I also found this part of the process easy and straight forward as my prosthetic piece dried without contamination.

Summary:

I found this part of the process quite easy and straight forward to do and the silicon dried normally without contamination.
