Special Effects Tutorial: flexible foam casting
In this tutorial we cast our 10lb density flexible foam into a 73-25 silicone mold. This is a self-skinning foam that achieves a tough skin surface and works well with our metallic powders.
Silicone SPFX Makeup: Claw marks
This is a great way to create simple claw wounds or scratches using Gel-10. We created the cuts with Gel-10 and then added color with Skin Illustrator colors. We finished off the effect with Fleet Street Blood.
Special Effects Tutorial: Pouring A Monster Clay Head
In this tutorial we pour hot Monster Clay into a Gel-10 lifecast mold. This method will also work with a Genesis X or Accucast Alginate mold, but care must be taken to avoid overheating the clay as clay hotter than 200F will cause the alginate mold to distort.

Makeup FX: Gel-10 Horror Makeup
This is a great way to create "out of the kit" wounds that are incredibly realistic and fairly quick to apply. Gel-10 has a 5-6 minute working time and sets in about 30 minutes to an A10 rubber. Using Gel-10 on the skin will speed the cure.
