@nickyh7364 Год назад

Hey Hunter! Your videos are so helpful! You will never know how much you have taught me. Thank you isn’t enough. Quick question for ya. Using this technique would you carve the design on the skull before or after the metal paint To make the design stand out more how would it look to avoid the patina in the area of the carving ? Thanks again!

How do you remove the antlers? I think this would be a good thing for me to keep them as natural as possible

@ElBurkoBandito 3 года назад

This is super inspiring! When you say the metal won't bond with the skull if there is still grease in it, does that mean it will chip off easily? Or won't apply evenly? What does it mean for it to not bond correctly?

@83Lealu Год назад

Would you mind sharing if there is a paint or finish you use as a base and final finish in order to help keep the skull better preserved from aging? I’ve heard polycrylic ?

where can I get the resin skulls?

@jnapthegorge 4 года назад

Thanks for all your knowledge Hunter. You’ve made my searches for product a heck of a lot easier and your finish work looks top notch. Can I ask where you get your dust mask/respirator with the mouth piece and nose clamp? Also with the type C metal, do you just calculate out how much catalyst and hardener to use each time you do a project? I assume you don’t want to add everything to the can if you’re not going to use it all at that time.

@usskullhunter 4 года назад

You bet Jeff, glad I can help. It is a Resp-O-Rator Jr 100, highly recommend it! Yes, so you just kinda measure out your best guesstimate and it still works fine.

Thanks again Jason! So yes, pretty much any good quality primer will work. I like to keep the same brand for the entire project but really any primer will do.
