- 8 years ago
Remarkable footage has emerged of a man revealing a creepy wax mould in the shape of a finger.
The video, filmed in Australia on Friday, shows Jacob Strickling from the YouTube channel Make Science Fun burning away an outer layer of wax to reveal a finger-shaped plaster cast.
Writing online about how the effect was achieved, Strickling said, "I first dipped my finger in molten wax a number of times. Once the wax had solidified, I wiggled my finger out, producing a wax mould."
"I then filled the mould with Plaster of Paris. Once set, the outside wax mould was melted off using the two bunsen burners as shown," he added.
