Built some giant chainsaw for arms today for a client! So shiny but now they need blood! Made out of Sintra thermal plastic and Eva foam #chainsawman #anime #chainsaw #props #thermalplastic #zaklabs (at ZakLabs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfIP9EflvrI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I lost my normal oven for heating the styrene plastic so I made one from a quartz heating unit! Works well enough for what I want. (Idea stolen from YouTube!) The final products looks great! #styrene #thermalplastic #vacuforming #cosplay #zaklabs (at ZakLabs) https://www.instagram.com/p/B82P-X3DAxs/?igshid=14lemd12fnlmn

More Delft casting attempts, went better this time.

Made a fun trip to our plastic supplier today. Picked up a bunch of styrene plastics. What’s your favorite thermal plastic? #plastic #thermalplastic #styrene #props #cosplay (at ZakLabs) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqyUQhpjBEJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ho8qzlcw273j

I wanted to see if CosBond would hold up to heat forming Kydex. Kydex is a thermal plastic that is very tough and resilient. It’s used for things like gun holsters because you can heat foam it, vacuum form it and it’s tough. But not much will stick to Kydex. But Cosbond does! And it holds up to heat forming it as well! Cosbond maintains its hold up to 180 degrees which is more than enough to form Kydex! #cosbond #kydex #heatforming #thermalplastic #attach&build #zaklabs (at ZakLabs)

Straps and rivets are one of best ways to put armor together when it absolutely need to stay together! #poprivets #straps #armor #cosplay #costumes #larping #sintra #thermalplastic #zaklabs (at ZakLabs)

Bear trap prop finished! A little rust and dirt and blood! Constructed out of Sintra plastic. Created for a short film Zaklabs is making the set props for. #trap #bears #beartrap #props #movies #film #sintra #thermalplastic #zaklabs (at ZakLabs)
