 is a truly unique two-part silicone modeling and casting compound. It sets in less than five minutes, it is clear which can be colored with silicone pigment or makeup (A little color goes a long way, don’t over do it on the color, you want to keep that translucent “skin” look). This silicone product is used to create wounds and deep gash effects on the skin. It can also be glued to the skin using itself as the adhesive. Effects can be peeled off and used again.
