Using a cheap inflatable alligator as a form, how I used spray foam to create an alligator.
NOTE: Great Stuff foam will NOT work on this project. It needs to be the Loctite foam. The Loctite foam will create a skin after about 5 minutes which then allows you to shape it as it hardens.

I have actually been planning to do a DIY Alligator using foam for Halloween. While I plan to do a much larger version, this was very inspiring! Thank you =)

Let me know how your larger one works out! I would love to see pics!

Quick tip for yah. Put spray of water after use foam. Activates crust faster so u can mold. I never wear gloves and never get it on my hands.

Great tip! It doesn’t show it in the video but I do spray water before I start the foam and then once I’ve applied it. It’s a key point and I should have emphasized that in the video. I wear gloves only because I’m impatient and sometimes touch it before it’s ready and end up getting that stuff on my hands. That stuff is a mess to get off your skin. Thanks for the great tip!

Oo you'll like this one. Just started doing it. Put take paper towel and wet it through with spray bottle and lay it over foam. Omg it's awesome. I'm a toucher too. Lol oh and i always deflate my model such as beach ball so i can keep reusing them. Plus it's fun pealing it away from spray foam. 😁

Hey AOTH, excellent idea, build footage and explanation. Thanks for this and your previous videos on haunt setup - used your parachord ideas throughout our walkthrough walls, as well as your ideas for keeping walls grounded - worked perfectly! You are a great haunter and I appreciate the time you invest in the videos you share.

@AotH 3 месяца назад

Wow, thank you so much! Very kind comments and definitely appreciated. It takes a bit of work to shoot and edit the videos so it's nice to hear that you are enjoying them. Also, because I love to build my haunt and literally spend all year doing it, it's fun to share what works and doesn't work for me. Hopefully you can get ideas from what I do or at least enjoy watching the videos while sipping a nice drink! More to come! :-)

@Rideguy365 3 месяца назад

Absolutely enjoy and look forward to your videos, which have become more dynamic after your ride accomplishment - congrats on seeing that through, ride system and scares were fantastic, looking forward to more!

I just spray my blowups with water and have never had issues deflating and seperating from locktite. Way quicker.

@AotH 3 месяца назад

Yah, it dawned on me on me after I was done with the video that I probably didn’t need to even wrap the inflatable in plastic. I think it would have worked fine without it. And you are absolutely right, I didn’t need to deflate it to get it out. But, exactly why I share this because I learn as I go!! Thank you for your comments, I really do appreciate it! 😀

@davidrussell6159 3 месяца назад

So simply spraying water over the inflatable- no need to wrap ? That’s very good to know ! Thank you.

@toddcoston7498 3 месяца назад

@@davidrussell6159Yep, I tried a second alligator without the plastic and it worked great!

@kramakers6958 3 месяца назад

@toddcoston7498 👍 I've doing this for years. Locktite is way better than great stuff. You get a nice crust after a few minutes with Locktite, then you can shape it. That wet paper towel trick I just started doing and it helps alot so you don't expand over edges.

Awesome build! How many cans of foam did the gator take?

@AotH 3 месяца назад

For the main coverage before removing the inflatable it was only one can. Because I wanted to shore it up, I ended up using a whole second can but probably only needed half of it. All in all, with paint and eyes…was probably the same cost of the inflatable.
