Hey guys,
I\'m looking to the pro\'s for some help. I received something today that I\'ve wanted for years. A latex Yoda head, hands and feet.
Now the crappy part. They are cast very thin! I can almost see through some spots and some other areas have holes where the latex didn\'t go( I knew I got too good of a deal). He also has spots that look like blisters, and I know they shouldn\'t be there.
Anyway, I can trim all the flash, but I\'d like to get him repaired if possible. Is it possible to slosh in some extra latex to thicken it up? Or might it be easier to make a mold and cast the parts properly. That way I\'d be able to fill the small holes properly.
If anyone can help me salvage this Yoda I would love to hear from you!! It turned from the best day of my collecting life to the suckiest when I saw the condition of the parts.
I\'ll try to get pics up later.
