Silicone Question

[MattMunson]

I'm looking for a type of quick cure, brush on silicone. A friend of mine had a lifecast done a few years ago, and they used this as the first pass. It captured an amazing amount of detail, had kicked in like ten minutes, and was very nice.

Anyone know of a product like that?? If so, please give me a part number or a link so I can grab some.

Thanks!

Body Double by Smooth-on. Comes with two options for kick times.

Life Rite is much much better IMHO. I've used both since they came out
but had much better results from LR.

lifeform from mouldlife / motion picture fx is awsome. no release creams needed will not stick to hair and just the best ive used. Neill gorton did a demo on my fx partner daz last year at imats its on youtube, daz has a beard and it came straight off. Brilliant stuff !

The SILICONE that the industry uses for LIFECAST runs about 1800 for a 5 gallon kit.

Works great though!

Totally agree--I just got sponsored with some of the Lifeform stuff for my work at the Arnold this past March. It is fantastic. A bit more expensive but well worth it. I cast a feather and it released no problem and the detail was immaculate.
