Whether you're looking to create molds for casting intricate designs or special effects for theatrical makeup, this silicone rubber offers exceptional performance. Additionally, users can enhance the rubber by mixing in Silc Pig™ color pigments for added vibrancy.

Safety and Compatibility
When using Dragon Skin™ 10 NV, safety is a top priority. It is crucial to operate in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate protective gear, including safety glasses and latex-free gloves to prevent contamination. One important note is that certain contaminants may cause curing inhibition, so testing the compatibility of surfaces before full application is encouraged. Avoid other silicone bases, such as tin, which may interfere with the curing process and compromise your mold's integrity.
Advanced Features for Customization
Dragon Skin™ 10 NV also offers the ability to adjust the rubber’s properties to suit your specific project needs. For those needing a thicker consistency, you can use Thi-Vex™ thickening agent to make the rubber brushable for vertical applications. Alternatively, adding SLACKER™ can soften the mix, offering even more customization. This flexibility ensures that you can create molds tailored to your artistic vision, making it an indispensable tool for any crafting enthusiast.
Maximize Your Mold's Performance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your molds made with Dragon Skin™ 10 NV, consider post-curing. After standard curing at room temperature, exposing the rubber to mild heat can enhance its physical and performance characteristics. This post-curing process is essential to achieve the best results upon first use. Properly caring for and understanding the use of your molds will lead to many successful projects, giving you the confidence to explore more artistic avenues.
