Skin Tite

™ is a skin safe silicone used to create fast wounds, scars and to adhere silicone appliances directly to the skin. It can be sculpted “on the fly", offers maximum control and stays precisely where you put it. ™ will adhere to the skin and perfectly conforms to all contours. Cured rubber is strong and will flex with body movement. Wounds and appliances will not come off until you remove them. Material is skin safe and certified by an independent laboratory.

An infinite variety of color effects are achieved using Silc Pig™ silicone pigments. Blended Silc Pig™ color pigments added to ™ will create hyper-realistic cuts, scars, slash wounds, bruises, necrotic (dead skin) effects, bullet holes and more. Thi-vex™ thickener will thicken ™ for even greater vertical hang control and is ideal for creating skin pockets, hanging skin, deep cuts & wounds, holes and more.

Bio-Adhesive: ™ can also be used to adhere skin effects silicone appliances or silicone masks to the skin even when affixed to hard to hold areas such as elbows, fingers and joints. It is ideal for repetitive motion applications. ™ will release from closely cropped hair-covered skin surfaces (short arm hair, beards, moustaches and eyebrows). Instructions

Store and use all products at room temperature (72° F / 22°C). This product has a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible.

We recommend that you do a small scale test on the back of your hand to ensure that you have no allergic reaction to silicone. If you notice any type of skin reaction, do not use product.

Important: Warmer temperatures will reduce pot life and accelerate the cure time of ™.

™ is a platinum-cure silicone. Platinum-cure silicone rubber may be inhibited by certain contaminants such as latex, skin oils, aloe vera, sulfur based clays, urethane rubber and tin-cured silicone rubber resulting in tackiness at the mold interface or a total lack of cure throughout the piece. If compatibility between the rubber and a surface is a concern, a small-scale test is recommended.Inhibition has occurred if the rubber remains uncured after the recommended cure time has passed.

Because no two applications are quite the same, a small test application to determine suitability for your project is recommended if performance of this material is in question.

Adding Color - Silc Pig ™ silicone pigments can added and mixed thoroughly into ™ for matching a skin color,.

Mixing - ™ can be hand mixed. Aggressively hand mix for 30 seconds, making sure that you scrape the sides and bottom of your mixing container several times.

1. Using As A Bio-Adhesive - ™ can be used to temporarily adhere a previously made platinum silicone prosthetic appliance to human skin.

Here’s How To Do It: Clean the skin to remove any oils which may affect the curing of the ™ adhesive. Mix the ™ thoroughly (1A:1B). After mixing, brush a small amount of ™ onto the appliance or surface of the skin. Hold the appliance to the skin until the ™ is cured. This should occur in approximately 5 minutes or less, dependant on body temperature. A higher temperature will cause the ™ to cure faster. Once the ™ is cured, it will remain tacky. Use a small amount of ™ to carefully blend the edges of the appliance if needed. After ™ is fully cured, theatrical makeup can be used to further blend and color the piece. To remove the appliance from the skin, slowly peel the piece away from the skin. Using baby oil or make-up remover can assist in removal.

2. Using To Make Appliances Directly On The Skin - ™ can be combined with Silc-Pig™ silicone pigments and a small amount of Thi-Vex™ thixotropic additive to create on skin silicone appliances.

Here’s How To Do It: Mix the ™ 1A:1B by weight or volume as normal, add a small amount of pigment and mix again. After the desired color is achieved, add a small amount of Thi-vex™ and continue mixing until the desired thickness is achieved. The ™ can now be applied directly to the skin to create scars, cuts, and other appliances. Use a small brush dipped in alcohol to feather the edges of the appliance. After the appliance is fully cured, theatrical makeup can be used to further blend and color the piece. To remove the appliance from the skin, slowly peel the piece away from the skin. Using baby oil or make-up remover can assist in removal.

Hair Covered Skin Surfaces - ™ will release from closely cropped hair-covered skin surfaces (short arm hair, beards, moustaches and eyebrows). If hair is too long, it will become encapsulated in rubber and careful cutting of the hair may be necessary to remove.

3. Using ™ To Cast Into A Mold To Make An Appliance - ™ can be combined with Silc-Pig™ silicone pigments and poured i
