hello dear merfolk >u< ♥
I decided to open a new thread because I successfully made the two first molds >,<"
i have to say that itīs already the third try with a silicone tail and if that try today didnīt work I would have cancle that project >,<" (but it worked yay :D )
the first try I used plaster for the mold and false silicone (which stank so much x_x) ... They said it was paintable but it wasnīt that much ><

here you can see a short video of the old one:

i let the fluke in my car for one day... and it still stinks that much >< (now for 4 months ôo)

so the second try was to make a mold with shell shock but unfortunately the release agent didnīt work or we just used not enough of shell shock ><) the mold broke :(

now the third try c: again with shell shock but with vaseline for releasing :))
and tadaaaa it worked =D i just tried the small fins and a little starfish :) and Iīm sooo happy Q____Q ♥ i already lost all hope ><

Iīm still very confused about the colours @__@ I donīt know which ones I should take...
but I like the second very much which would ne related to my still nameless OC ( https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=506158322814092&set=pb.181032131993381.-2207520000.1388964295.&type=3&theater )

and I would also like to glue little silicone starfish to the tail >u<

also because I would make the fourth top in these colors ♥

I nearly finished my scale sheet but Iīm not sure how to prevent the shell shock sticking to the foam ;o;

You need to use a REALLY good release agent with foam and shell shock! I used shell shock/foam and my mold was a mess and it took hours and hours to clean it! Vaseline would probably work well if you covered the foam completely. You should do a small test with whatever release agent you use before you pour a large scale sheet.

Your fluke is beautiful and I really love the fins! The starfish will be very cute on the side of the tail! :)

PaperyStar, would you mind terribly if I used the third colour scheme? It's beautiful and the same colours as I want, I just haven't gotten mine to look nice in a reference format....

Thank you all so much >u< <33

Yeah i'm really afraid because of shell shock and foam >< did you all use also shell shock for the scales?
I'm considering if there isn't a way to prevend the foam from sinking the shell shock into it ō.ō perhaps i should make the foam really really wet or paint a varnish on it? ><

@nyssaf no of course i don't mind >u< but i want to See pictures *_____*

I recomend to ask kaupo if you may can use Uretahne Rubber for the Mold.
And maybe spray shellack or kind of Spray wax could help prevent sticking together - it even makes smoother corners - like on your scales.

Hello again itīs been a long tim since I posted ><"
I started to go to at a private fashion school which isnīt free so I had to pause my project. Iīve got 2 jobs during my school time and now we are in summer holidays so I can work a lot and continue with my mermaid tail c:

My fluke and fin mold were finished successfully and yesterday I filled the dragon skin in my small fin molds >u< in the middle I put some fabric because I need them for a school project :3 I also will try to sew it in my Magictail :D

You should sell these necklaces on Etsy. They might get a lot of success.

Hey guys~ <3
It's been a while since I posted last time because we had a small fashionshow which needed so much time .. but there are some progresses in my little tail project :3 yesterday I finished my first silicone pieces and decided to take a golden colour instead of the blue one. c: still not sure which colours I'll take for the shades ><"
