Product Description
Psycho Paint™
Psycho Paint™ is a versatile and easy to use platinum silicone paint base developed to help special effects and prosthetic artisans, doll makers, etc. easily create painted-on color effects for their platinum silicone creations. It is a two component translucent clear platinum-cure silicone that is used to make a base for color pigmenting. Once the desired color is attained, Psycho Paint™ is thinned with a solvent. Thin layers of paint can then be applied to a model’s surface (made of Dragon Skin™, Ecoflex™ or other platinum silicone) using an airbrush. It can also be applied by brushing.
Smooth-Cast™ 45D
The Smooth-Cast™ Semi-Rigid line of low-cost semi-rigid urethane casting resins cure quickly to semi-rigid plastics that offer exceptional strength and impact resistance.
New Formulations – New Look!
Smooth-Cast™ 45D is newly reformulated with a translucent white appearance and improved physical properties. All Smooth-Cast semi rigids are now mercury free and phthalate free. These plastics are easy-to-use (mix ratio is 1A:1B by volume) and have low viscosities for minimal bubble entrapment. Vibrant colors are possible by adding SO-Strong™, UVO™ or Ignite™ colorants.
These semi-rigid plastics are good for making impact resistant prototypes, models, toys, props, climbing holds, etc.
