Smooth-On soft platinum silicones continue to grow in popularity for creating a variety of special effects. Customers have sent us images of amazing monsters, animal reproductions, wounds, scars, etc. made with Dragon Skin and Ecoflex products.

Psycho Paint™ - is a two component platinum silicone that is pigmented with Silc-Pig™ silicone pigments and then thinned with a solvent to make a paint that readily adheres to any cured platinum silicone. The mixture is applied using a brush or an air brush to a model’s surface. Until now, people have colored their creations with a paint made of Dragon Skin™ (or Ecoflex™) and Silc-Pig™ pigments. These products however have high viscosities that limit what you can achieve.

Psycho Paint™ Advantages - Psycho Paint™ has a low viscosity that allows it to be delivered to a model’s surface with an air brush. A lower viscosity also makes Psycho Paint™ easier to control. Psycho Paint™ layers on better and stays where you put it. The lower viscosity also allows you to spray Psycho Paint™ using an air brush and makes paint effects (like "stippling") easier to achieve. Psycho Paint™ is also faster curing and it adheres very well to itself and other platinum silicones.
