I sincerely apologise in advance for any mistakes I have made in joining and/or posting to this community. I have been looking through the beak memories and was wondering which one is most efficient in terms of lightness, gloss, sturdiness, appearance and easiness to paint/sand. I found tooldip or plastidip, as I'm pretty sure they are the same thing but different brands, to be expensive if it turns out I need a litre. Probably due to the shipping, not being readily available at hardware shops like Bunnings but I found it at Autobarn and I might do some ringing around to ask whether they have it or not. I tried paper mache with my first fursuit head's beak which was rushed and of course turned out horrible because of that. It was too clumpy and I didn't lay it down correctly making it wrinkle. So I'm wondering if I should try again with celluclay this time which again, is not readily available so I'll have to ship it but sounds pretty good with a sealer from what I've heard. Paperclay is another option but I'm unsure about using it. I'm worried about the heaviness of paperclay if I do end up using it? Just how good is celluclay in fursuits?
Just how much plastidip would I need for a macaw beak for factoring in the price?
Would it be better to get a couple of aerosols or dip it in a litre bucket? How do you attach the beak to the fursuit, do you leave an area of foam uncovered and sew it on? Sorry for all the questions I am just really confused. I'd greatly appreciate feedback. :)
