I had a blast sharing this hot tip with experienced foam runners and those new to foam latex at The Prosthetics Event. Behold my main foam latex oven!
A wallpaper steamer and a water butt. That's all you need. The dirty old shower curtain acts as a gasket.
Larger moulds might just be wrapped in a tarpaulin and cooked with two steamers. ....Smaller ones cooked in a vegetable steamer. I came up with this process after reading Tom Mclaughlin talking about autoclaves in Cinefex. 20 years, Ive been cooking foam this way!
Giving @reeceshearsmith_ a bleach bath. He got a bit mouldy over the years. Most fun job I ever had. Psychoville halloween special werewolf transformation.

Finally got one of my guns “Immortalised” forever in chrome, by my man @fx.smith he did the casting back in November 2017, he’s a very busy man, doing films like Batman, Harry Potter and Mrs Doubtfire to mention a few, but finally got down to finishing the arm and delivered it to me last week.

Michael Crawford in the first iteration of Fosco. Prosthetic sculpted and moulded by Stuart Curran @sturcurran for Robert Allsopp & Associates @robertallsoppandassociates who made the fat suit. I ran foam and applied test makeups. This was the gig where I pushed my foam running skills to the limit. 12 volume super soft foam. There were 3 moulds (made by Stu Curran) and I'd get 1 or 2 good pieces out of every run. Worth the trouble though, as Michael said "I don't even know I'm wearing it" .
20 years ago! Applying the foam latex prosthetic with Anette Ollerearnshaw. I was unsure about edge placement on this piece, but it worked very well.

Brie Larson and Stockard Channing currently getting splatted every night with my black blood/paint. Don't ask me what it's all about, but it washes out beautifully! 😎

Fangs for the memories. 1992 The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. I made a few different prosthetic pieces for various episodes (sculpted/moulded/ran foam). I have been digging out old pics and found this. Nosferatu style fangs I made for the lovely gentleman that was Bob Peck. He'd just finished filming Jurassic Park and had a small wound on his forehead from a Velociraptor bite! He personally sent me the set photos with a handwritten note. Class act and sadly taken way too soon.
