Smooth-On Dragon Skin™ 30 Mold Making & Special Effects Platinum Cure Silicone Rubber - Trial Unit

The sky is pretty much the limit with this stuff. Easy 1 to 1 measuring, super firm but flexible once cured, perfect for makeup effects, coating, mold making, toy casting, and pretty much anything else.

The product took longer than I expected to cure but, that' probably a lack of preliminary research on my part. The package recommends degassing and if you need a perfectly smooth final product, then you should. What I was casting wasn't so surface critical and even though I didn't degas it, it's still pretty smooth. Shore 30A hardness is listed as pencil eraser hard. I suppose it's close but, more flexible and on the slightly softer side. I wish it was cheaper but, it is a quality product! I highly recommend it! It would be perfect for any casting like a hand where you need it to hold its' shape and not droop in any way.

I wish I have found this in a bigger quantity but the quality seems to be exactly what it says it is. I would post pictures of what I'm making but it is not age appropriate. I have found that the coloring is spot-on and really easy getting the bubbles out is a bit time consuming but not that difficult and set up and cure times are exactly as the package . that being said I make adult toys as gags and as functional and so far so good I would recommend this strength over the other one that I purchased

I bought this to try make some homemade eye patch liners for an injured eye, since I am allergic to the foam patches the doctor gave me. This stuff is fun. The finished product doesn't irritate my skin like foam or band-aids do, even when I wear it all day. It starts off as a thin consistency that spreads out slowly and evenly. Not like putty or wax that you can reshape or like brush on things. The sample size makes a good amount. I'd buy it again.

Once you figure out how to use silicone for DIY projects, it really changes the way to make things. This and moldstart 15 are my go to silicone formulas. It will be perfect for my next youtube channel (JoeCanDoIt) episode. Only downside is that you have to use this stuff fast after opening because the shelf gets limited and the environment can ruin its properties.

Over all the product is good but the instructions are lacking. Make sure you don't use Gemini Masterpiece orderless Paint thinner, the silicone will not dry if it does it will take forever. I switched to Klean Strip Acetone and so far it seems to work well, but if you have some left over put it in a sealed container and store it in the fridge it slows down the drying process and might give you a few days of use. This is important to know if you're trying to paint a silicone reborn baby and stuff I wish I knew before I started.

This is a good product. it worked great...

I am not an expert on this subject. but for a lay person to just buy and create something with it ( reading the instructions carefully and watching YouTube ) it does the job. I wish I could buy bigger quantities to reduce the costs but it says its self life is very short. I did notice that it is getting more viscous after just a few weeks after opening.
