Now it's time to very carefully take the
teeth off. This can be very hard but putting them in warm water will make
the release agent to dissolve and help a bit. Now things can get bad The
teeth is at this point very fragile and if it breaks it will be hard to fix
them. When the gums is finished they will be a lot more stable but not yet. |
| Yeah! It came of nicely but a couple of teeth
on the cast broke off. But I will not need the broken parts any longer. If
something that I would need had broken I would have to start all over. |

Using a Dremel tool you cut down all
unnecessary spill plastic. |
| Here you can see the finished teeth without
the gums. |

A lot of people who do this kind of work make
a negative mould for the gums, just like for the teeth but I am lazy so I
"drip" the gums. This is done by taking fluid and powder and form a gum
right on top of the cast. I continue to do this until it has gotten as think
as I want it. |
| Here I am grinding the finished plastic
teeth. |
 |
 |
Polish is a very important step in this quite
long procedure. I normally polish with ordinary tooth paste what actually
work very well. |
| Final touches! Here I paint a little dark
brown between the teeth and make the gums a little more red with ordinary
makeup colours. The grease paint sinks into the plastic and won't smear. |

Look what a nice shine they have gotten by
applying a thin coating of nail polish. |
| Now it's time to fit them on the actor (or as
in this case, me). It's important that they don't hurt you anywhere or fits
to hard on some places. This can cause damage to the actors teeth or gums
and you will get sued for millions of dollars. You will have to grind them
down to a perfect fit so they won't fall out or hurt your actor. This can be
hard but take a little at a time and work slowly. |

If you now have gotten past all the problems in this process you can now be
ready to look just as silly as I do here.
Good luck!!! |
