Overview
Dragon Skin® FX-Pro® is a soft, stable, high performance platinum silicone rubber specifically designed for creating silicone makeup appliances and fake skin effects.
What Makes Dragon Skin® FX-Pro® Unique?
- Soft - Shore 2A hardness allows for softer appliances using less SLACKER® deadening agent
- Low Viscosity - combined with long working time reduces bubbles and makes pouring easier
- Cures Dry - will not leach silicone fluid
- Long Working Time - 10-12 minute working time is good for larger pours or injections
- Fast Cure - 40 minute cure time allows for quick turnaround of castings or molds
- More Workable - Do More - has a ‘gel’ stage - slushing the material into prosthetic molds is easier
In this demonstration, a fake wound resin mold is made using Smooth Cast® 300 liquid plastic. Dragon Skin® FX-Pro® silicone is pigmented and mixed, then poured into the plastic flat mold. The piece is then applied to the skin using Skin Tite® silicone adhesive. Perfect for homemade Halloween costumes, theatrical stage makeup, and even Hollywood special effects.
The process is quick, under 1 hour from beginning to end. Application and clean up are very easy and the results can be extremely realistic fake scars and wounds.
