Smooth-on Dragon Skin FX Pro trial Size Special Effects Silicone Rubber by Smooth

Excellent, but there are no options to purchase larger quantities outside of a "trial pack". I would have liked to see an option for buying twice the amount without having to buy two lots of trial kits on Amazon. Besides the quantity provided being very small for my needs, the material itself is wonderful; it's soft and very flexible and makes for lovely prosthetic effects for costumes, and with pigmentation paint (sold on the same page) it can be made to almost any colour you want. I only use a dab of pigmentation paint for nearly 1/3rd of the silicone to get a solid colour, so it doesn't need much of it. However this is because it does not cure truly clear; it cures with a cloudy finish, so it is not suitable for making moulds that require you to clearly see your resin castings inside. It has a very high tear threshold so I have been able to make moulds of sculptures with a huge amount of undercuts without the silicone ripping apart; because of this my resin castings are gloriously detailed. This material is probably better used for making chocolate moulds or costume prosthetic effects, though it has served me well in resin casting too, but for the price it simply isn't worth it for resin works; purchase a tin-cure silicone instead for resin, but stick with a Smooth-On product if you can; they truly are super tear resistant and flexible compared to other silicone manufacturers I have used. All in all I give it 4 stars for meeting 4 out of 5 of my own personal requirements. 1. It cures incredibly fast. Usually within 20 minutes I can remove my silicone castings, or start casting resin in the silicone mould within 30 minutes. 2. It is easy to pigment and doesn't require a lot of the paint. 3. Super flexible and soft. Great for making skin effects for wearing, as well as moulds for casting. 4. Is suitable for skin use. The only flaw stopping it getting 5 stars is the quantity of the product for the price you pay. I would buy more silicone elsewhere for the same price and get very similar results, the only point winning me back to Smooth-On is the texture of the silicone itself. I still buy silicone elsewhere for my more ambitious projects, but for the occasional case when I need super-realistic Human flesh effects? I choose this over the rest.
