Because of the superior physical properties and flexibility of Dragon Skin rubbers, they are also used for medical prosthetics and cushioning applications. Dragon Skin rubbers are also used for a variety of industrial applications and have a service temperature range of a constant -65°F to +450°F (-53°C to +232°C) Review: High quality silicone! Only kind I'll use. - This product is versatile: it can be used as both a casting and molding material, which is nice if you'd like to keep your materials down to a minimum. It captures details perfectly! I would recommend brushing in a thin layer to start, and pouring in a thin stream from as high as possible. Without doing so, this silicone does form a lot of air bubbles. Another solution would be to use a vacuum chamber (pro or DIY, doesn't matter). If you don't have access to a vacuum chamber, a little trick I've picked up is to add a couple drops of Mabeline oil-based liquid foundation to your Part-B before mixing with Part-A. It will add color to the silicone, but the mixture will have significantly less air bubbles. I'd say roughly 75%-90% less. Huge difference! There are dozens and dozens of foundation colors, so I'm sure you could find a "close-to" white if you plan on mixing a different color than skin tone. To add color, always mix with Part-B before adding Part-A... There are a number of things you can use to color silicone, but the best choice depends on what you are using your silicone for. As a general rule of thumb: avoid water-based paints. Oil and water don't mix. The best things you can use to color silicone are specialty silicone paints (I think Psycho Paints is one, but double check that), powdered pigment, or oil paints. All you need is just a little bit. The silicone is semi-transparent, so a little goes a long way. Another trick, if you're using the silicone for make-up effects purposes, is to use gel food-coloring. It works very well, and retains greater amounts of translucency. The downside is that you will have a bit of color residue that can stain skin or clothes, but not very much. It easily washes off of skin. Clothes are another story. If you're in a pinch and can't find gel-food coloring, you can also use the standard liquid food-coloring, but be aware that it will stain a lot more. For either method, it's best to thoroughly wash your silicone piece with dish-soap and a non-abrasive cloth or brush (a soft tooth-brush usually works) after you de-mold it, and before you apply it to your actor. This will dramatically reduce the residue that could cause the piece to stain. If you're getting silicone to cast stop-motion puppets, this is a no-brainer: get Dragon Skin! It's strong, it stretches easily, it squishes easily, it always returns to it's shape, it can be colored easily, it can be shiny or it can be matte, and it's semi-translucent so it works great as skin. If you want to dull the shine down to a more natural matte finish like real skin just dust some talc powder on your cast after you pop it out of the mold. Let it sit for a little while (maybe 15-30 minutes) then dust off the excess. You could also then wash the puppet after another hour or so if you want. For Molding and casting: Universal mold release is good (just make sure it covers silicone and whatever other material you are using for the mold or the cast). An incredibly inexpensive alternative is plain old vaseline (petroleum jelly). Just paint on a thin coat, let it sit 30min before pouring your mold or casting material, and it works beautifully. I've used it often with silicone and resin. Both materials absorb the oil, so cleanup is moot. Anyway, that's my 2-cents... This is high-quality silicone. Dare I say "the best brand out there"? Review: Great Product! - When I purchased this product it was the first time I had ever tried to cast and mold a larger piece. It wasn't too expensive and based off of other reviews, it seemed like a good product. I am very pleased with how my final piece came out because of this product! I started off with a small test by casting/molding just a finger. It was pretty sticky and had quite a few air bubbles. However, I read that adding foundation helped with air bubbles, which I ended up using when I cast/molded my entire arm and this small trick made it a hundred times better! I also used baby powder to avoid stickiness. By testing out the product prior to making the final piece, and doing some research, the final project came out nearly perfect! I'm so glad I went with this silicone rubber because as a beginner, it was very easy to figure out. I would definitely recommend this product because it's a great price and does exactly what it says it's going to do! Will definitely be purchasing more in the near future! ## Features - Time Tested, Versatile Special Effects Material – Soft, super-strong and stretchy, Dragon Skin 10 MEDIUM is used around the world to make spectacular skin and creature effects. - An infinite number of color effects can be achieved by adding Silc Pig silicone pigments or Cast Magic effects powders. - Cured rubber can also be painted with the Psycho Paint system.

Will this work?** A: Yes it will as long as you seal the plaster with an acrylic spray or even a release agent like Mann's Ease Release 200. Some folks use one part dish soap to two parts isopropyl alcohol to make a simple release agent for silicone casting into plaster molds. Apply sparingly and allow to dry before casting. If in doubt, test on a non critical part of your mold, like a seam line to ensure it will cure. **Q: i whant to make batman mask..i buy this and the pigment black color and what else i need? do i need a sealent? or something else** A: First you need to make the sculpt of the mask. So get a mannequin head and some monster clay and make your sculpt. Then get some rebound 25 and brush on a mold then make a support mold then separate the two halves of the mold and coat with your silocone. De mold and put the front and back together and fuse with silicone. Trim that seam. There you go. There are many other ways to do this also. Check out the internet. **Q: About stretch...i need silicon to build a character (for a stop-motion movie) and it need a certain flexibility (fingers moves) do you recommand this?** A: This material is also elastic. if you use it for stop-motion, you should put something inside to fix it, such as thin wire. Another character about this material is that no glue can stick them together. Last time I tried all kinds of glue, finally I have to do joints to connect them. FYI. **Q: How stiff it is when dry? is this one the one numbered 30? Thanks!** A: I do not have this in front of me, so can't say if it is the one numbered 30. It is smooth and rubbery when dry. It can be torn apart, but that is not easily done. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality silicone!

Tough to get bubbles out without a vacuum chamber, but for my application, it still worked just fine. I used a percussion massage gun to vibrate out as many bubbles as I could. Directions were clear, and after watching a few videos for tips, I got a great product. The bottles have stretched further than I thought they would, and I still have plenty left for some other project, not sure what the shelf life is on the product. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dragon Skin 10 Medium - Addition Cure Silicone Rubber Compound - Pint Unit - Smooth-On Silc Pig™ Color Pigments for Silicone, 9-Pack Sampler - Ease Release 200 Mold Release - 14 Fluid Ounce Aerosol Can --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/38438822-dragon-skin-10-medium-addition-cure-silicone-rubber-compound-pint](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/38438822-dragon-skin-10-medium-addition-cure-silicone-rubber-compound-pint) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
