Thread: Head mold kit
Post: RE: Head mold kit
What I do is go on Ebay and buy the shrinking plastic for baskets. You can get 50 of them for $10 if you shop. These are great because they are round on the closed end. I then cut out a section fo... |

Yes, in fact it gave me the best full cap fit yet. It would tear long before giving up it's shape. |

If there's any weak spots you can still add some tape. Also you will need to trim it before putting it on your head. See picture which kind of show what I mean. I'm sure you will ruin a few before you... |

Yes, it sucks right to your head, it does get a little hot but it works great. It will work for either a full head or topper just fine. Just position the rounded part of the bag on the crown. |

Thread: Head mold kit

Yes minus the tape. The only real good reason to use it is it's very cheap, very quick and it fits tighter on the head then plastic and tape. This is how I got a better fit, it wasn't loose on the he... |

The shrink wrap works fine, honest! Ask John if the template I sent in was inferior or unacceptable since he would be the best judge! |

I shrink it then do some trimming especially around the ears and hit it again with the blow dryer to get it even tighter. Then I will draw and cut to size. No need for the tape unless you wish to rein... |

Why does it have to be thicker? I never thought thicker was better, in fact it will just make your piece too large! Skin tight template equal skin tight hair! These are just my opinions and I'm no exp... |

No need to soak it, just roll the lace between your fingers, this way it dislodges the glue in the lace. I takes me no more than 30 seconds to do the whole piece.
The way I do it is simple:
1) put ab... |
