How to Make Elf Ears - Paint & Apply Elf Ears (Part 7)

This final chapter in our seven part series on Creating Elf Ears is where you apply the Elf Ears you created over your own ears. The adhesive we use is the same silicone you used in making the Elf ears. You can use another prosthetic adhesives if you choose to attach your ears. We choose this same ear silicone (PlatSil Gel-10) as an adhesive because it is really easy to remove and it sticks to the ear nicely and most people have no skin irritation from it. Remember to clean your ears with 70% alcohol before you glue the silicone elf ears to your ears. To simplify the materials here is a list of what you need to make silicone elf ears. THE PLASTER used in this process is called Hydrocal B11 White. This plaster is best because you can scrape it and clean it easier than Ultracal 30 plaster. Which either one is good it's just I prefer Hydrocal. THE SILICONE used in the molding process can be either a Tin Cure silicone or a platinum silicone. Platinum preferred my most effects artist. I have been using Dragon Skin 30 for the molds instead of the blue (Tin Cure) stuff lately. For the prosthetic ears use either use PlatSil Gel 10 silicone or Dragon Skin 10. (PlatSil is a little more expensive but I love its feel better than dragon skin.) For coloring the silicone use the recommend silicone tinting products. The plastic material I use in the video for making the ear forms is called Repo 1 (Reproduction plastic). You can also use Smooth On Smooth-Cast® 385. I think it might be cheaper and easier to use.
