Re: Jack's Teeth tutorial

I know you can get pigmented acrylic powder in gold and silver. I wonder how that would come out?

Great tutorial BTW!

Yea that's right they make that. I'm not sure how metallic it would look but its worth a try. I found the clear worked well for sanding them down to match my teeth because I could see the plastic teeth underneath

[rockstarpirate90]

I wonder whit a little modding if these will work for the bottom teeth?

[jacksadventures]

yea you could make those work you just have to sand them down so that they are not sharp at all on the edges

[rockstarpirate90]

aye and I do think if you insert a little nail acrylics in them and bite on them for about 5 minutes , you will get snap on teeth just like vampire fangs from scarecrow...

1.) actually quite comfortable.
2.) No eating..... (keeps me weight down though) drink with a straw if at all possible.....keeps the teeth on better
3.) Cut 'em with a pair of sharpened scissors, smaller the better as far as scissors go.
4.) Nope not at all they come of pretty easy, not a big fan of the dental adhesive taste, just my preference, but it's not really that bad...

I have an event as Jack tomorrow, what type of dental adhesive did you use for the nail method?

[jacksadventures]

The toutural that I posted is the nail method as well that's what i used to make my teeth just follow the process you can make teeth in a few hours

[jacksadventures]

And I just use fix a dent to hold my teeth in place simple and effective Hope this helps

[rockstarpirate90]

how long will it take for fixadent to dry?

I tried it on but it feels real sticky in me mouth blegh...

cheers

[jacksadventures]

I use the pink kind an use very little then just hold in place and let it sit for just a min the stuff does taste bad! But a little goes a long way. And I would love to see pics if anyone has made some teeth

[howlingwind13]

So last night I tried the polygrip on the PLASTIC fingernails...didn't hold.
BUT I bought Polygrip strips! Worked like a champ. Stayed on all night, ate, drank (alot) and no issues.

An FYI about this weekend. Was digging around the old props room and found some custom-make vampire fangs for an old shoot. WITH the plastic you must melt to form the bond. I'm going to split this half, make a tooth mould from blue-tac, stick the fang in then the filler to create the tooth shape. Rest goes into fitting it to my tooth shape. Gold paint then gold fleck packed very tight then paint and shiner with sealer. Should come out nice. will keep y'all updated on my results.

Ok, dumb blonde question time......What happens if you use the krylon gold and silver pain on your own teeth?? I had to ask.

[jacksadventures]

It's toxic and the teeth will absorb the color might stay in teeth for a while I wouldn't recommend

[Mrs. Captain Jack Sparrow]

Thanks Mate. I had to ask out of curiosity This is a great tutorial by the way. I will try it and maybe get little help from me dad

[jacksadventures]

Yea I would love to see how it comes out for people

Hello all...

I had actual gold "caps" made. Expensive versions of the grillz. They actually take an impression of your teeth.
However I do this full time and not so much as a jack impersonator but a spoof. And as such I juggle , etc. One of the bits is eating an apple while juggling torches and knives...so....

I ended up getting actual gold crowns at the dentist to avoid swallowing the fake ones. I only have two of the most noticeable front teeth so far, as they had already been root canal'd due to injuries as a result of fire eating for too many years.

[jacksadventures]

Has anybody used this I was just wondering ? I didn't know if it was working for me it's great I am still using the ones I originally made I have not repainted them and I do a bout a gig a week as jack. I am working a jack coming up at the st Louis Missouri pirate festival sept 10-25 that should be a blast. Anyway just checking

[capt.J.j.sparrow]

I plan to asap!

[capt.J.j.sparrow]
