Can silicone Dragon Skin be poured into the mold, or does it need to be injected.
How high up do you start the tail? Before the belly button, below it?
What color is dragon skin silicone without any pigments or colors added to it?

You can pour Dragon Skin. Where you start the tail is a design decision, just whatever you want. The top of the tail though is probably the most critical part to measure and cut properly. Think Dragon Skin is kind of a whiteish-clear when cured and turns yellowish over time.

Thank you. After thinking, I might have to do the tail as 2 pieces and epoxy it together.

This is a good thread to post this in, I think.
What kind of a mold would I have to use for silicone? I don't want a giant one, it's just for little detail things.
Also, how can I thin out a silicone that is thick so I can add color to it?
