Hi Loren,
No, I don't have a video that shows how to add clothes. Many people, of course, mold the clothing as they mold the model. I do this in conjunction with add ons afterwards. I have experimented with a variety of resins, including 2-part epoxy resins (of the bar coat variety) 2-part urethanes, and polyester resin with a peroxide catalyst- which is what the jeans are. Generally, I mount the fabric in place with epoxy and spray adhesives and then "soak" the fabric with polyester laminating resin. Some areas need a second coat or additional shoring up. Areas that stick way out like flaps on the jeans actually have a slight flex to them. They receive a faux bronzing like the rest of the statue.
