What's On Your Workbench?
Monster Gloves and hand armatures.
My name is Chris and I am coming to you again with a similar issue like I had last year. So from the pics, you can see I built my monster gloves on the left and right foam armatures I made myself. I used Loctite Spray foam with a wire skeleton built underneath. I made the fingers and thumb to where they could come off upon demoulding.
Thanks for taking the time to read and I hope you can either offer me a better method or possibly point me to a tutorial that I can take notes from. I hope to hear back soon.
Thanks and best guys,
Chris Scott.

Re: Need Recommendations for UV-Resistant Clear Epoxy Resin
I would start with looking for resins that resist yellowing, like Smooth-On's Crystal Clear. That said, many resins are formulated to resist yellowing, but yellowing can still happen with prolonged UV exposure, so limiting exposure is advised when possible.
