Ann,

It would be great if MHS would create U-Tube videos of you making supports
out of this stuff!

I sometimes use a hair dry for a more focused direct stream of heat.  Has
anyone tried to form Fosshape around a mannequin foot?  I have been thinking
it could be a good support for moccasins.

Hello:

 

At the Philadelphia Museum of Art we have used Fosshape for many projects,
and have found that different steam and heat tools produce different
results. We typically use the regular head of a Jiffy steamer to set
Fosshape. 

 

What tools and techniques do others use?

 

Many thanks,

Laura Mina
