you can shrink it in acetone, or get a cast already shrunk from Reproheads.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

does acetone shrink uniformly?
I know when I used to INCREASE the size of RTV molds, it would warp things, dunno about using it in reduction.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

The jet set/jersey knit is the stuff I've always used, and JoAnn's is the best place to find it (they also carry some lightweight pleather that's thin enough to use for some Mego stuff, usually around Halloween). You just have to be sure to finish the ends off somehow to avoid the material running (a simple narrow strip of adhesive tape if it's under a boot or glove works fine).Comment

The acetone shrinks prettywell, it blows up and then as it dries, it shrinks. I'd done a few DC Hasbro 9 inch heads with success.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

yeah, that's my estimation of it too.
an old trick we learned in college for increasing something's size.
though when it blows up, sometimes it can warp the thing. We did it to make Bigfoot Tracks for a production we later scrapped. I actually learned the trick from some Discovery Channel thing on Bigfoot Hoaxes.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment
