Is the mold itself the final product, or are there materials that you can use to make shapes like the original? The only material I can think of that wouldn’t need heat to set is expanding foam, but I hear that’s kinda messy.
@gotalentguy maybe you could just make a replica of the face with something else (i don’t know maybe plaster) and then mold the plastic over that replica.
out of all the videos i saw of this yours turned out the best
Do you know of a place that sells extremely low temperature thermoplastic sheets so that you could use a live human’s face to form the plastic?

Can you tell me what cind of plastic is that,and where did you buy it?
oh,and if its not a problem, a link to a Online shop,where i can buy it.

You’re going to think I’m an idiot, but this is a serious question.
Could I vacuumform myself? I want to make something like when Han was frozen in Star Wars, but with myself.
also, should the Vacuum stay on while it dries?
