FLESH LIKE rubber ( SKIN GEL )

[Cyberman]

Hi Guys.

I was popping around to the silicone rubber suppliers today and was shown some of the new products they have... My main goal was to obtain some RTV for a project i'm working on, at the moment. I asked the rep. if he had anything that might double for foam rubber that has the softness of human flesh and can be painted.

Suddenly he pulled out of a box this pink blob of something, that looked like a sea cucumber in shape. I touched it and it was the softest material I've ever handled... you could easily squeeze it down from 1inch to less that 1mm. It had a dry surface to it but the core was very sticky but didn't leave a residue of any kind on my fingers.

At LAST I've found the material I need to make prosthetics and masks with rather than foam latex which is so costly and hard to work with.

Cheers

Phil :love

Sounds good whats it going to be like to paint though, most silicones are a pain to paint

 

[weaselflinger]

Dragon skin from Smooth-on seems to be gaining popularity as an over the head mask making material and they make pigments that allow it to be painted.

Is it one of the products developed for the "adult industry"?
Let us know how it works out.

I always thought that these statue/bust replica places should use the silicone flesh like material for their sculpts... minatures would look so much cooler with flesh instead of painted plastic.. I know it would be expensive...but hey so are some of these sculpts.
