Description of ๐Ÿ‘ค Smooth-On Body Double Standard Set Life Casting Platinum Silicone - Trial Unit: A versatile and affordable solution for flawless life castings

Skin Safe Lifecasting Silicone Rubber - can be applied directly to the skin to make molds of the face, hands and other body parts. The rubber cures quickly and will reproduce perfect detail from any original model - far better detail than any alginate. Pot Life: 5 minutes - Cure Time: 20 minutes. Will last for many castings of almost any material including plaster, Matrix Neo, wax, resins (Smooth-Cast urethanes, polyester, etc.), low temperature melt metal alloys, etc. To reduce mechanical lock on skin hair including facial hair, eyebrows, eyelashes etc. use Body Double Release Cream or HYPER-FOLIC release additive.

Cool project - take care of your eyelashes and eyebrows!

It was a fun project to do with the kids. I warn you, even though I smeared her liberally with petroleum jelly, it pulled out half the hair on her eyebrows and eyelashes. Interestingly, the resin I used in the silicone masks plucked these hairs out of the masks, so the resin casts now had real eyelashes and eyebrows. It's really scary!

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Hard to say

Feom liquid for gluing too fast

Works as intended. High level of detail, but running time is too short. Therefore, it is easy to deform the skin as it shrinks quickly and becomes firm so quickly. If you mix this up 2 ounces at a time, you have about 35 seconds to spread it out and then it gets too thick. But 90% of your time is spent making sure they don't drop on the floor in the first few seconds. Lol, from hot honey to sticky trap in half a minute ๐Ÿ˜‚

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • Confusing

Reliable products and excellent support

It's nice to receive such generous support after losing a package. The Smooth-On team kindly and promptly sent a free replacement. I've been using their products on various suits, prosthetics and the like for almost a decade; always with great success. Your YouTube video series and website helped me find the right product for the right application. This experience as life goes on makes me even more loyal to sticking with what works.

Pros
  • Lifecasting Skin-Friendly Silicone Rubber - Can be applied directly to the skin to create casts of the face, hands and other body parts.
Cons
  • Slightly crumpled

Thick, slow pour to create detailed shapes

It wasn't easy for me to tell when blue + pink = purple was mixed properly compared to some other smooth-ons other color combinations. The flow was also thicker than I expected based on previous experience and didn't flow through the narrow hole left on the sides of the box: give or take 1/8 inch. This resulted in having to switch containers mid-watering, which I wasn't prepared for. Each product has its own character and I think I prefer other products I've used over this one, although theyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pot life: 5 minutes - Cure time: 20 minutes
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Amazing things!

I bought this smooth-on kit for a cool project . I looked at a few other materials including alginate kits. I chose this because I could use the forms multiple times. Since this was my first experience with an impression material, I wanted to play it safe (maybe too much :D) so I also bought Hyper-Folic Release Additive and Body Double Release Cream (both Smooth-Release Cream) in addition to this kit. about products). I have to say that this product is very easy to use and almost impossible toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Use Body Double Release Cream or HYPER-FOLIC Release Agent to reduce the mechanical hold of hair on skin, including facial hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc.
Cons
  • No Power
