However, careful students will find that in fact, most of the props can be made by hand, and only some professional film and television dramas are completed by using 3D modeling and other technologies. Master the ideas and methods of making props, no matter how complex the props are. In this issue, we will introduce some commonly used cos prop tips.
1) How to enhance the hardness of the resin prop.
Materials such as resin are often used in the production of props, and the hardness of the resin can be increased by adding hardeners or fillers.
Commonly used hardeners include bisamides, epoxy resins, polyamides, etc., which can react with resins to form cross-linked structures, thereby improving the hardness and strength of resins.
Commonly used fillers include glass fiber, carbon fiber, silica sand, etc., which can increase the density and toughness of the resin, thereby improving its hardness. In addition, the hardness of the resin can be changed by adjusting its chemical structure and formulation.
2) How to solve the burr of EVA board.
Whether it is cutting EVA board or PVC board, most people should encounter the problem of burrs, using a knife to cut, if the knife is not stable enough, it is easy to cut out the feeling of potholes. There are several ways to solve the problem.
The first is to use sandpaper for sanding, or a professional tool such as an electric sharpener. This is a professional grinding machine, and the drill bit can be chosen at will.
The second is to use the method of fire roasting, whether it is a PVC material board or an EVA material board, it will melt at high temperatures, and you can use a flamethrower to sweep it at a distance.
Thirdly, use a special PVC treatment solution or EVA treatment solution to make the surface smoother.
3) About the use of hot melt adhesive.
Hot melt adhesive is also a commonly used tool in props, but hot melt adhesive is not only glue, but can also make other patterns. First, the hot melt adhesive is put into the hot melt gun, and it is directly squeezed out with the hot melt gun to draw the pattern. After the glue is completely dry, you can color it with acrylic paint. In addition to this method, the hot melt adhesive can also be directly made into a small iron ring on the iron ring prop, directly heat and glue the two ends of the hot melt adhesive, and then apply acrylic paint, string together, and the chain part of the prop is ready.
The above is the sharing of cos prop tips in this issue. As long as we have an eye for discovery in life, use our divergent thinking a lot, and practice our Xi diligently, we can all make our own ideal props over time.
