Question 1

I want to make a silicone cast of my arm using a plaster mold. Will this work?

Accepted Answer

Yes it will as long as you seal the plaster with an acrylic spray or even a release agent like Mann's Ease Release 200. Some folks use one part dish soap to two parts isopropyl alcohol to make a simple release agent for silicone casting into plaster molds. Apply sparingly and allow to dry before casting. If in doubt, test on a non critical part of your mold, like a seam line to ensure it will cure.

Question 2

i whant to make batman mask..i buy this and the pigment black color and what else i need? do i need a sealent? or something else

Accepted Answer

First you need to make the sculpt of the mask. So get a mannequin head and some monster clay and make your sculpt. Then get some rebound 25 and brush on a mold then make a support mold  then separate the two halves of the mold and coat with your silocone.  De mold and put the front and back together and fuse with silicone. Trim that seam. There you go. There are many other ways to do this also.  Check out the internet.

Question 3

About stretch...i need silicon to build a character (for a stop-motion movie) and it need a certain flexibility (fingers moves) do you recommand this?

Accepted Answer

This material is also elastic. if you use it for stop-motion, you should put something inside to fix it, such as thin wire. Another character about this material is that no glue can stick them together. Last time I tried all kinds of glue, finally I have to do joints to connect them. FYI.

Question 4

How stiff it is when dry? is this one the one numbered 30? Thanks!

Accepted Answer

I do not have this in front of me, so can't say if it is the one numbered 30.  It is smooth and rubbery when dry.  It can be torn apart, but that is not easily done.
