I'm in the beginning stages of researching silicone tails, so pardon my silly question, but could all purpose silicone work for a tail or did you only use it as a test?
*Aquarium safe silicone will work for everything (keep in mind it's not very flexible so I'd recommend making an individually scaled tail - I have videos on that too). All purpose silicone I'd only use for samples as it tends to be cheaper but still if you make samples with aquarium safe silicone straight away you can then use them for something else 🙂
@@beazknees no worries, I get really excited when people actually plan to make their own tails 🥰 I'm here if you have any more questions and let me know how you get on!
Silicon rather it be all purpose or marine safe are not safe for your skin and should not be used in an attempt to make a silicon tail if you want to make your own tail you need dragon scale silicon it’s marine and skin safe don’t get yourself injured or even killed trying to make a mermaid tail with things not intended for contact with your skin always start yourself with a fabric tail 🥰 stay safe peeps
Thanks for your input Stephanie. I have made a tail with dragon skin before and it's great 😊 the silicone I'm using here is for a specific method made on top of a fabric base so it doesn't touch your skin directly. I spoke to the company's chemist and he assured me the silicone is not harmful to the skin (even direct contact) or marine life after it's cured and washed carefully. I understand your concern but I did extensive research on this topic and have been making tails for a few years with no issues. Skin safe silicone means it's safe to use on skin even if uncured so the one I'm using is not marked as skin safe but in good hands can be a very useful tool. 😊

That color-shifting pink is spectacular! 😍 Can't wait to see it pieced together.
daym i can even smell the sharp smell from the silicone !
Haha, washing the piece after unmoulding helps a lot 😁 but yeah it's stinky 😅
This is amazing!
Can’t wait to see what you use it for 😁💕
How many tubes of silicone did you use for the fluke? It is stunning
woaaa !!!!!
The fluke is sooo pretty!

Dont use all purpose, it’s not marine safe.
I'm hoping to make my own fluke mold! How much did everything cost??
