Comment on How to mold a doll head by batchix
Should this be done in a well ventilated area? Or with like a gas mask or something?
The molding process, no, the pouring of the resin, yes. i use a respirator when i do pouring of resin, but i'm allergic to it. I work in a medium sized bedroom.
Thank you so much for replying. So there no like ventilation system that you use? and when you make the silicone mold it's just straight breathing? XD Sorry for all the questions. >.<I just wanted to make sure so I don't die.
Yup! i mean, i'm not doing this in a closet, but I don't have a special ventilation system either. If you feel like the fumes are making you light headed(the silicone doesn't really have fumes but it does smell a bit like fart sometimes) just open a window. When i was casting in a smaller space i always did it with the windows open and a ceiling fan on. i wore a respirator when pouring, then i left the room when i was done and waiting for the molds to set. i only cast maybe one doll a week. But like I said, i'm allergic to the liquid resin.
OH okay! Thank you so much! I've always wanted to make a doll so bad, since it's like your own baby I guess haha. And now I can! Thank you thank you!!!
