Make a prop head from a mask 

This dude is freaking great! He's the MacGyver of FX! I've seen videos of legit mask makers using crazy expensive foams to fill their masks and stressing out the entire time because the foam can collapse if the conditions aren't right, Allen runs to Walmart and grabs the Locktite gap foam and does a perfect job and fast! I'm certainly not hating on those other artists they are amazing and super generous with their time and knowledge. Allen just seems to know how to get shit done fast and still really good.

I just recently used that locktite foam for the first time, love it. You're right, it gets dense and is easier to work with, I was shocked. Great content as always sir.

This is just what I was looking for. Your method looks easier and maybe better than the other methods I looked at. Thanks!

so happy your started doing non live streamed videos again

Foam filled is my FAVORITE!!!!!

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for the straight forward instructional video.

Awesome video Allen

Lol!!! Now I get it! Sorry man! I’m learning. Thank you! This channel is AWESOME!

Wow I watch you every day love your work

Awesome!!! Thank you

Always cool gettin to look over your shoulder while your up to workin... gotta head to work, later Allen & crew : D

Very good!

Excellent thank you Allen

Oh my heck thank you for this. I have just had my prop heads on a foam wig head and they just always look floppy.

Perfect solution for my giants' heads. Ty as always.

good work

I have some masks that i want to turn into the display foam filled head. I have seen you use both locktite spray foam as well as the home depot sika post fix. What is the better application for someone just starting out. I took some of my old masks and turned them into life sized props this year for Halloween. I just used the foam head. Unfortunately the head is small and does not fill in the mask properly. Then i came across your videos.

This is when gloves come in handy, a million likes

How many cans does it take to do a normal full head mask? Will 1 can be plenty enough? Thanks

Would it be possible to use this foam head as a means to remake an old mold that is exhausted, by covering the foam filled mask with plaster? If so, would i need to spray pledge onto the latex mask before applying plaster, and how difficult would it be to remove during once the plaster has cured? As always, thanks for sharing.

Since this is different than great stuff, is there less chance of it buckling and distorting the mask inward like great stuff can sometimes do? (The main reason I refuse to use GS for foam filling anything)

Crazed Michael Jackson 😆 🤣

What effect does the water spray have on the process? I would've thought it would cause foam collapse.

I am getting ready to foam fill my first latex mask! What foam is best for a total beginner... A/B foam or Lock tite or Great Stuff??

I’m looking to make a sculpture using some sorta hard clay Making a rubber latex mold And filling it with foam and I wonder how smooth it would come out if it would get the detail

This may be a dumb question. But if you wanted to use a mask for a pneumatic prop would this system work if I had a metal square tube in the metal and monitored it?

never used that brand to fill a mask before... maybe i'll give it a shot...

My parents bought me pretty much that same mask mask as a prisoner costume when I was in elementary school 😂.

So loctite only. Or is there a similar version of great stuff to use?

Would you use this method on one of your blank masks that I bought from your studio and use it as a prop head?

Theoretically would it be possible , to fill a mask you didnt want with plaster or something similar making it solid and using it as a bust head for future Sculpting and molding ?

So I’m making a pneumatic prop with head movement can I add the manikin head in the mask and fill it with foam ?

I am a beginner, this looks so easy. If I wanted to put a piece of pvc pipe in a mask at what step what I add that.

I’m filling a mask here real quick for my haunt. Question: can I cut the foam out later? Will it leave residue on the latex? Cause any permanent changes? Thanks fir all the great content! 🙏

Hey Allen, do you know if it is possible to do this but with the new latex mask inside his plaster mold ?

Do I have to hang it or can I keep it in the bucket?

You kept setting my Alexa off 😂lol

Sweet!

Love your videos! Would love them even more if you didn't have your conversations with Alexa in them so that my fire cube doesn't respond to you. LOL

ITS RU-vid WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!

I wonder if there is faom in the head?

What if you would wet down the inside of the mak first so you could get the mask off. Then you would have a foam head.

I’ve been scouring the Internet for weeks now to find a severed head and this was close when you said you might sever it I have my fingers crossed, but I’ve searched watch all of your videos and can’t find any severed parts made from scratch😢

thats great it would be nice to see if you could turn a half mask into a full prop head ? HFL!!

My Alexa set a timer for 5min 🤣

Oh my god it’s Michael Jackson

Where is your monster museum?

The “Alexa…” comments keeping setting off my units…it would be great to bleep that out or something.

Is that mask Michael Jackson?

I'm laughing so hard that you even needed to explain what a prop is, jeez.
