Hello! So you can see I have changed out of my shop clothes and that is because for this
next part we are not doing anything even remotely scary. We are just going to take
the Pros Aid transfers out of the freezer after you have frozen them multiple times. You want
to do two or three-- and while they are still frozen you want to take them and
because you're silicone will not be frozen it'll still be flexible it will
make it much easier to release from the mold. And then you just pop it in your dehydrator
and you've done the work. You've made your prosthetic. And now if you have your transfer paper you
are ready to apply and paint it.
For this next step you will need baby powder and a makeup brush. And these are still nice and frozen
so let's just begin to De-mold here.
A little bit tricky.
Be really careful about your edges.
But actually this looks great.
The next one-- Be careful its lifting a little bit here.
There-- easy peasy. And you see all the excess around-- its a good thing we made those run offs but
what some people like to do-- and this is not absolutely necessary--
is get a little bit of baby powder and just lightly kind of buff it on.
And usually you can't really do it at this stage, but because it's frozen still its easy as pie.
So here we have that one and now--
I realize that I made the edges a little bit too thin on my first application so went back and I added a little bit.
--of Pros Aid material.
Because its much harder to get out of the mold if you don't have anything around here.
And you can see I put such a thin layer that its dried clear so
This is still frozen so lets see how we do.
Yeah, see that's phenomenally better.
And at this stage--
Well first you want to get out your baby powder.
Just lightly kind of buff it on.
This makes the appliance a little bit less sticky.
And there were some air bubbles in the mold so I'm just going to get a little tool.
So I've got here a tiny pair of sharp tweezers.
I'm just going to pinch out some air bubbles that happened.
Carefully--
The way you prevent air bubbles-- You can actually brush on a layer of silicon to your piece before you pour the rest of it.
It will ruin a brush but its obviously--
I mean it's probably worth doing
Alright so--
After this you can just leave it out to dry
for, you know, a couple days maybe
or you can pop it in the dehydrator and wait a couple hours
so the dehydrator is not absolutely necessary but it's pretty handy to have
So here we have my dehydrator
You can see the piece is in and if you look
You can see the other piece is underneath.
Now I'll just wait a couple hours and it will be ready to go.
So these pieces have been in the dehydrator for, well-- For overnight.
So the next thing that you do is you just want to carefully--
peel away the flashing
you definitely want to put your finger down to prevent any tears in your piece.
and if you put the baby powder on this process should be really easy
because it won't be very sticky
the next thing I'm going to do is put the smaller prosthetics on a white background
then take a flat may be angled brush and dip it in alcohol to dissolve the edges
of the prosthetic a little bit. You really wanna get it as close to the
sculpted edge as possible without biting into the edge too much and you're just
going to do that all the way around
alright so once you have your edges nice and close you're going to want to gently
dab it off with a rag because alcohol activates the pros aid and that will
make it sticky again. So you want to make sure you remove the alcohol completely
from the prosthetic. If you happen to be one of our patron subscribers you can

So those are Pros Aid transfers. Congratulations you've done
the work and now you are ready apply them. Check out the link below to see how that's done.
