Skeleton in a can

I love what u do.

Cool technique !

"Oh there's hot glue there. It's collagen!"
I died. That was perfect. 🤣🤣🤣

Great talent and a nice sense of humor. I love your channel. 💀❤

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE HAND! I need about 15 of them and I didn't want to waste all those gloves.

You mentioned you can use great stuff in the same way. I tried to save a buck, and regret it. Great stuff doesn't get a skin on it in the same way. I got very sticky. In the end I made it work. Thanks for sharing your talent.

You're just trying to mess with my alexa, aren't you.........Great work!

Is the locktite foam different from other spray foams where the skin forms and it allows you to handle it? Or do all spray foams work this way?

Great job

Great job

Your dialogue set off my Fire TV Cube with Alexa. A function I never use. It took me 10 minutes to figure it out!!
You owe me one can of spray foam, for the trouble!😉

Wow! just the hand shaping was amazing, it looked menacing! I bet you could scale up this process to make your own 10ft skeleton! Would be a lot of foam and would definitely need some reinforcement but I bet it'd be even cooler than the store bought ones! Especially if it still had blood and remnants of muscle and flesh on it!

I love all your videos I have learned so much thank you thank you thank you Halloween is my holiday and I have an amazing Halloween party yearly

Where do you get synthetic hair for your projects

Love the project. Gonna try this. Also love the Buccee’s shirt.

Art is expressed in so many ways. Your art is awesome, and never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for your videos. I feel inspired to try your methods for improving my Halloween haunted house.

This is really amazing. Just curious, how many cans of the foam did it take to make those parts?

i have been trying to figure out who it is that u remind me of - it's ted cruz

put balloons in the ribcage and then just pop them

I love this, but.. how much foam do you need to make a whole skeleton, at $9 a can? Because you can buy a whole skeleton for $30...

you made that look WAY easier than it is

What is the purpose of spraying foam down with water afterwards?

Great project. Thanks

So this is what Q from “Impractical Jokers” does in his off-time? 🤔

Any chance you could do a DIY mannequin made out of pvc and spray foam? I saw a video about this somewhere else, but they didn't show how they made it.....only all the things they used a cheap mannequin for. Many thanks if you would do this for us!

I would love to find a cheap, easy mannequin (full body) build to use for Halloween props, or to make a life sized nativity scene. And store bought mannequins are just way too expensive.

Allen, could spray foam be put into a 1/2 mold made from a plastic skeleton?

I wish people were less afraid of making mistakes… preventing them from even starting. I love how you reiterate “finished is better than perfect!” Mistakes and failures help us learn, much more thoroughly than straining for perfection.

This is excellent! I just finished watching your corpsing video. These two go hand in hand, or at least I hope so. Thanks!

With the rib cage and spin laying face down on the table, it kind of looks like a face hugger from Aliens

Allen I love your positive attitude when you realised your mistakes. I would have been very annoyed and cussing at myself. Looks good.

Going to try this one. Body at least. I have a skull, hand and black cloth

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾PHENOMENAL!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 And LOVE the Buc--ee's T -Shirt👍🏾💯💜

SOOO COOOL❤😮

I love your shirt.

Love this channel

How many cans to make one?

What did you search to find the skeletal hand you used on your curtains on pintrest?

You make it look so easy. I bought some foam the other day, whoa, had all my fingers stuck with stuff! Ha Ha! I did forget about the water though. That is an important part. My hat's off to you on the work you do. I will try again and promise to not forget the spray water. Love watching you make stuff!

🤣🤣🤣and my Alexa is with you every time that you start counting 🤣🤣

Which lock tite you use

Mine turned out like monster hands ...I will have to try again

lmao you keep setting off my alexa.

Just found your channel... as I've been going through your videos... I have to constantly tell Alexa to stop the timers. lol

I am thinking about doing this to my back yard fence. Make the vines “blend” into old dying trees just beyond my fence that are covered in cudzo. Didnt want to use foam noodles for entire fence. Maybe rotate random props caught up in the vines. Watch it from the pool! Thanks for the technique on how to paint and make the vines. 2/3d

If you took more time with the painting, it wouldn't look like it has been laying around for a couple centuries. That Buckee's shirt is hilarious. And if you want your skeleton to have fewer ribs, make it an alien skelly. That thing is a prop, not an anatomy lesson. :D I do like it better with more ribs though. rofl.

" This isn't rocket science, man."
No, It's called Medical Science!
It's good to see screw ups so we can see how to fix them.

4 years later I'm still going back to watch these videos! Great work! Planning to "can" out a couple of skeletons this weekend.

Give us a thumbs up if your alexa got called out! (and you liked this project)

oh good lord you were supposed to let prince albert out of that can!!!!

Thought this would help anyone that’s going to do the project
