| FLX Glue Corpse I was lucky enough to get a test sample of Jerry Chavez's new corpsing FLX Glue from www.SpookyFX.com . It is a flexible adhesive blend that he created to emulate an older product that no longer exists. Here is what I did to create a corpse using FLX Glue, Viva paper towels, and a Blucky Skeleton. |
|
| My plan is to have
the corpse mounted to a
wood toe pincher lid. I may someday make the whole coffin, but for
now the blucky will be shackled to the faux wood lid. I cut out 1" foam board, and dremeled lines and knot holes into it, to give it the wood plank look. |

| I did a test by painting the glue on some paint sticks with stretchy webs, crushed cheerios, and cotton. Each medium has its own look. Perfessor Evil posted that the best towels for the job are Viva. He was right. |

| Deathlord ( www.deathlord.net ) has a great project on his site which explains this whole process. It is based off of Jerry Chavez' original topic. |

| After building out the body with layers of towel dipped in FLX Glue, I flipped Blucky over and mounted a support for the Coffin Lid. It looks painful doesn't it? |

 |
 |
| This prop is in progress, I still have to do a final mounting to the coffin lid, and then paint a final dry coat on top. |

| Here, more webbing and latex is applied. The latex is colored with gray latex paint, and painted onto the stretched out webs. |
