Good video but can you show the best way to put the hardened beads in a missing tooth gap? I always have extra or not enough, also it is sometimes hard to not get fingerprints on the soft beads that you mold into your teeth spaces please? Thank you in advance!
Yeah, I got em on Amazon, I'm molding them while watching this video. My only question, is human teeth aren't naturally perfect white, when you mold it does it dry even slightly less white then normal?
@@Supernovaartistry somebody on one of these videos mentioned that they heat the beads in water that had a tea bag in it... he said because he does not have white white teeth, he gets a better match this way. Guess it would be trial and error.. but I thought a GREAT idea!!
so i just bought this to hopefully fix my front tooth temporarily until i figure how to get more dental insurance.. i already used all of it for the year 😭
This may seem like a stupid question but I promise it's not . Living here in on the coast we get really hot and humid days. By any chance do you or any of your subscribers know if something made with this will hold up in a cosplay event in high humidity situations
For myself I've used it in my car with our average weather of 32C here the car temp should be way higher when it reaches afternoon and the thermoplastic is still in shape so far no problem :)
Hii~ little question, i have vampire teeth and need to mold it in between my tooth and the fake one, so will it stick to my teeth? And will it stick to my fake teeth?
My apologies, I never tried using thermoplastic on teeth so I can't give advice on this matter... Perhaps you can ask some of the commenters here who've tried making fangs and fake teeth :)
I’m not missing a whole tooth.. just chipped the bottom front one. How does one make this adhere to the bottom of a tooth. I’ve followed all the steps but it’s not staying on. I’m feeling like I’m missing an adhesive to make it stick.
This stuff is great I use it to make all kinds of parts. Can you tell me how to get a smooth finish on the outside? What is the best way to work it when it has set? Thanks
Hi ivrz, I usually use it to fix things so not really concern about smooth surface the only way I've tried was to use a piece of baking paper and place the melted thermoplastic in between then mold it to shape so the finishing is a bit smoother... Have to work fast though as it sets pretty quickly... I've asked opinion from my friend who sculpt her cosplay items with it and she suggested that it is best to use dremel tools to sand it down after it has set. Sand paper could do also but it's very hard... :) Hope this helps ;)
Hi there! So far for me it sticks when its still half liquidy but to be honest even so it doesn't stick well on its own unless the surface is very rugged and it kinds of sink in the little corners and "grabs" on after its cooled and harden.
I'm sorry, I never use it for fixing tooth so I really can't advice on it. You may try slowly pushing it out as it doesn't stick to smooth surface that permanently unless you put it on while it's still very hot... But then again, I'd personally recommend a visit to the dentist for safe removal if you can't seem to remove it on your own.
What brand did you use and how long did it take to melt fully? I have polymorph beads and I've tried melting them on the stove and with a hairdryer and it hasn't worked.. The only time it actually melted was when I literally set it on fire.
Woah... Mine is OEM without any brand, it melts with hot boiled water in less than 1 min if it's new beads... If it's molded and remelt then it depends on how big the piece is...
I got some nice slightly pricey and professionally made sfx teeth...unfortunately i had the same issue no matter how hot i got the water it never dissolved like the instructions showed ( also when i looked up the reviews on youtube or online for my specific product on how to use the beads for it...) or in the way this video showed...and yes only fire did anything, i set it on fire because i got mad and frustrated with it not working lmao so i've been trying to find out if i needed another brand or if i need to find some alternative for them... 😂🤣
Hi, it would be very hot when you take it out from the hot water so I personally wouldn't advice putting it in your mouth to shape it tho... but yes, if it's entirely cooled and well shaped it should come off easily. ^_^
Thanks ^_^ I don't think you can use it for casting mold though... You'd probably need something in liquid form and even when thermoplastic is soften it's still not in liquid form ya...
Thermoplastic are known to be non-toxic... Some people would use it to make fake fangs for cosplay purposes... But of course, I'd personally say be careful not to swallow it tho... ^_^
bom dia eu comprei essa massinha e ela e muito bem utilizada para dentes por exemplo se faltar um dente pode modelar ela depois que retira da água quente quando ela fica transparente e coloca no local que falta um dente e modele sem retirar da boca depois de bem modelado beber água gelada encher a boca de água gelada ela endurece na hora na sua arcaria dentária e fica perfeito o dente para sair tirar fotos etc .para mastigação tbm que não seja alimentos duros e para isso que serve essa.massinha postada no vídeo espero ter ajudado! Eu deixei a explicação aqui nos comentários pq o vídeo não falou nem explicou mas e pra isso que essa massinha serve como palestino dentário
Do you know which brand thermoplastic is best or are they all the same? There are so many brands now, if they all perform the same then I will just buy the cheapest in bulk. Thanks a million.
Can you use a denture glue to stick these on for more security?? My auntie broke half her tooth and needs a quick solution till she can get her tooth fixed
My apologies, I'm not experienced in using it for dental so I dare not give advice on it. Hope you find your answer with someone with personal experience on this matter. All the best~! 😊
i got these pellets in a pack with my cosplay fangs and they are suppose to be used to stick the fangs to my teeth, so u say they can be reused, but how many times? i would think after a few too many uses it chips and cracks?
I have a missing bottom tooth. It doesn't bother as much as someone would think it would. I've been missing it for about 4 years. I'm now looking into this beads and I've actually just placed an order about 10 minutes ago. Go ahead and smile. The gap you have gives personality to anyone who has one. Many people wish for a gap but no one wishes for a missing tooth...lol.
Hi there~I'm not sure where you're from but in my country supermarket don't sell them, only in certain craft stores or source for seller online. Perhaps you can try your local craft store... :) Good Luck~!
With hot water (85degree and above) new beads usually melt within 1 min. If you're remelting used ones then it depends on how big is the piece you want to melt.
Mine is nearly 9 years old and still working OK. Perhaps quality difference or the material is different? May be you can try putting the brittle ones in hot water and see if it melts and cool down into a new piece...
Hi! You're most welcome and glad it helped in any way. 😊 It usually melts in hot water 80C n above, I don't think coffee would be hot enough to melt it without first burning the mouth 😅 but I personally don't recommend dental usage though since it could become a choking hazard or many I have heard having trouble removing it later on...
There seem to be many who uses it to fix tooth but personally I don't use it for that purpose, 1 it may be a choking hazard and 2 I've also heard many that had trouble removing it later on 😅
How hot does the water need to be, because im doing it and it wont melt. Maybe im just impatient, about how long do you think it takes to melt into the transparent color?
The water needs to be over 85°C and it should start melting within 1 minute, but to be fully melted depends on how much beads and how big the piece is.
The material itself is non toxic but I personally don't use it for dental due to choking hazard concern and I've seen many asking how to get it out after which raise concern for future issues.
Hi, I know some people who use it to fill up holes in teeth but you will have problem taking it back out though. I personally still recommend going to a dentist for a safer fix.
It turns solid hard when its cooled down, so in room temperature it will stay in the same solid state. I've tried leaving it in a hot car under the sun and it still stays the same. Melting point is at about 80c and above.
I heard many people uses thermoplastic for temporary teeth fix but personally I'd not use it for any oral usage so I really can't give advice on this matter. Sorry 😅
Hi! Erm... As I know it needs 80 degree and above to melt I don't think our mouth can take that heat 😅 Apologies as I personally don't use it for dental I think its best to seek dentist help ya...
Oh dear... 😅 I guess you can't have both huh... But have u tried pouring hot water on it or a heat gun melting it bit by bit and removing it bit by bit? Make sure what you have it mounted on can withstand the heat though...
Great help Iv got the pink ones coming going to do this way But I’m told it’s Ment for a injection mold ?? Iv done my first set with cold cure and came out great but feel too hard so going to try this
Glad you find it helpful 😄 I read that polyplastic can be used for injection mold but may be they have higher temperature melting in the industrial level I'm not so sure. 😅
@@FeltLikeHome Iv tried the pink powder cold cure with the acrylic fluid but you have to be fast coz goes off fast when Iv my stone cast I put lip gloss on so don’t stick mix the cold cure till like Play dough then roll it like a sausage then push on my cast get the best shape fast and even thickness then add the teeth set push in a little by now it will get warm and hard so use the fluid with small paint brush and go round the base not the teeth. Then mix another mix use the fluid like a primer and shape around the tooth edges I got a hand nail set to cut and smooth all over. Then few hours later use a dremil sand drum go all over it make level shape the top back so you don’t gag then wet/dry sand paper all over till feels smooth test fit all the time it came out that good I didn’t need dental gum lol still after few days you will feel any area that rubs so just keep sanding Iv made a few sets now first was in to far and angle down so had to do a set so at the front and straight have a ruler to lay over to get flat and straight Iv had mine good few months now I tried the pink beads but couldn’t melt them I did hot water no good then boil on the cooker so no good but got told use the microwave put in a bowl with kettle water and heat up till see it melt Iv not done it yet
You can melt thermoplastic in boiling hot water till it becomes liquid form and pour it in... How big is the toy? The thermoplastic may start hardening before u manage to fill it all up if its big and might leave empty spaces here n there though. If it needs to be 100% filled up then might not be so good since if you start putting it in you cant get it back out 😅
@@homeoftheislandsquirrel7185 I'm pretty sure you can. I looked it up and found a video. You soak the beads in the water and then dry your teeth and put the beads in the fang then put the fangs in
It only melts at 80°C and above... I think melting is the last thing to worry about if we drink such hot drinks 😅 but I personally don't recommend using it for dental...
Depending on how big the thermoplastic piece is, if in beads form usually below 1 minute, the bigger the piece the longer it takes. Same goes with cold water, the bigger the piece the longer it may take to fix the shape fully.
hmm... it needs water at near boiling point to melt so I don't think we can put such high temperature liquid in our mouth. Our mouth and tongue would've gotten burnt horribly before this melts...
