So I am trying to plan my first (non-fabric) tail. I am almost entirely positive I will be making a partial silicone (silicone caulking on top of neoprene like Tigg and Momo have done). The problem I have run into however is that I would like to possibly use two different monofins. This way I could use a fiberglass monofin (a Waterway most likely) when swimming in the ocean and rivers/lakes to combat the currents, but a Mahina when swimming in calmer waters such as pools (I would trim the mahina's outside curls a bit so the relative shapes are closer to each other). Has anyone made a Silicone, neoprene or partial silicone tail that is like this? I imagine it would be easier to work out if I was just making a fabric tail, but since this is a silicone partial it would be considerably more expensive and I want to be sure this will work.
(Also, if you own either of those monofins could you please check out this post (http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?12914-Requesting-pics-of-Mahina-and-Waterway-monofins-with-tape-measure&p=242988#post242988) in the monofin section requesting a pic of both fins with a measuring tape laying across it?)
