What would be the best method to cast demon talon hands that are generic to fit several extras?
in Fabrication
I have a sculpt with lone finger extensions and a boney hand structure but instead of using an appliance on all of them I need a full glove to fit snug enough to support the fingers on a few of them.

You should be able to attach your pieces to something like a thin lycra glove. It all depends on how you want the glove to terminate into your performer's arm/wardrobe, and what you want to attach/blend.
Your post made me think of this video from a few years back, it may provide you with a few ideas:

Hey Kristi,
A 2 piece ultracal mold and latex would probably be the easiest/fastest approach.

Awe man thanks, I was planning on using silicone anyways. This video is perfect because the extras will have sleeves for the most part. I appreciate your quick response this really helps. I only have 2 weeks to make several as well as finish up a lot of other gags.

So this is the hands I was talking about. I was going to do a Platsil 10 silicone slush mold but I'm thinking It won't be strong enough. Then I was going to use the gloves like the video you posted but since they are solid clay and not on stone I can't make a thin prosthetic. I don't have time to do anymore detail or smoothing because I have so much other stuff to finish by next week. So maybe a 2 piece ultracal mold and do a latex slush or do you think I could use a polyurethane rubber to mold it in one piece and just have one slit up the underneath?
Thanks again for the advice
