Your experiments with fabric and silicone, did it work well?

Fifi Tigg
08-27-2015, 06:41 PM
Haha very funny guys :D
Yes Yulia, the swirly dreamy tail is fabric and silicone and it's a great little tail but like fabric it clings to your legs out of the water so you can see your legs, but if that doesn't bother you it's a cheaper option ;)

Is that a second top fin on top of the fluke?

If you're keeping the body that Caribbean blue, how about a blue to green fade, like the color of the sun through a wave, fading to white, like the edge of a crashing wave on the trailing edge?

Yes it is a second top fin and there is also another on the bottom so it's super flowy like a beta and I like your colour suggestion :D thanks xx

An old tail revamped into a Beta tail, was not specifically made for my little mermaid but that did not hinder her swimming in anyway and now she wants a beta tail haha

New project was to make a tail extension for my little mermaids Finfolk tail because she has grown & has some butt crack showing. haha
It turned out so beautiful and we will test it out tonight at mermaid training :D

Clever! Side business extending tails for kids who've grown out of them?

Mermaid Wesley
09-09-2015, 02:35 PM
That would be rad but I think Fifi /makes/ most of the kids silicone tails out there. Not a huge market.

I make all sizes not just kids and this will solve some of the problems of tails being too short or cover gapping tails if they are a little big :D

Excellent way to extend the life of the tail.

Yulia
09-09-2015, 08:59 PM
Remember that Mernation also does this, they call it a "gap wrap". I guess theirs is full dragonskin-silicone and Fifi does neoprene/silicone. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
Just pointing out that Fifi is not first on the market.
Options are always good. ;*

Tail Wraps - $180 AUD ��


These are great for tails that are too short, gape at the waist or are a little big.


Little side fins or tiny dorsal can be added for a bit of fun for an extra cost of $50.


They cover any bottoms and can even add to the overall look to your tail.
They can be matched to your tail and sculpted into any shape.

Watch the wrap in action in the link below ��

It's about 50/50 with the design process.
Some clients have their design drawn and are very pacific on it looking exactly like the drawing.
Others have kind of an idea what they want but need a little bit of help to bring it to life ;)

Every single tail is so gorgeous, and it's so cool to look through the thread and see how your style has developed and matured. I showed a couple of your tails to my mertender and he said that the scale and fluke textures make them look like living Van Gogh paintings.

I love the dainty little scales close to the fluke; small details like that add so much to a tail. I've been curious, do you leave drainage holes or do you seal your flukes? They don't seem to get much drag.

Mermaid Enora found a way to keep the zipper put. I looked it up here is a quote from her sequin tailmaking topic:

I did make a key for the zipper. The zipper requires a kinda stop start zipping to get it closed. The fins also have a tendency to get in the way. Holding onto the 1in zipper pull behind my knees while pulling was really putting a strain on my hand so I tied a loop of ribbon onto a locking hook that can clip onto the hole in the endow the zipper pull and it works great. I also have a large hook and eye clasp at the very top of the zipper. I can't reach that to hook it on my own that requires help. My mom is really good at getting it hooked quickly. After the hook is fastened the zipper key can be unclipped and put away somewhere safe.
The quote is from post # 67 pg. 4

I know i periodically question: is that gonna fall apart? (maybe next to pics of wear on other makers' tails so ppl can see that "yes all tails show wear" ?) anyways that's some unsolicited advice for you that you can totally ignore because i quit selling tails so fast and obviously am not the best at running a tailmaking business. oh wow. yes way too much coffee. finals week. beautiful tails. love. love.

Ive made quite a few now and have had one problem with the silicone I use which is one split just at the waist will occur, not huge or anything but enough to be annoying. I've worked out a solution to it now which is the waist must be a stiffer fabric if going for a neoprene base. Otherwise the whole tail can be fabric base which is thinner, stronger and dries faster!
I will take some pictures of all my tails that are still being used regularly by very rough children every week and are still staying together even after a year of abuse ;)

Now if only Tigg made custom monofins! Cos that's what I really want right now. And I don't want to go through the hardships of trial and error of trying to make two different ingredients be friends with each other.:lol:

Pro monofins are too much for me right now. I'm content with using the softer and smaller monofins like the Foil and Mirage. But not so the Mirage, as it hasn't stretched and hurts my left foot too much. Which is why I'm looking at making a monofin slightly bigger than the Mirage but smaller than an adult merfin.

Fifi Tigg
01-14-2016, 03:30 AM
Haha I'm not attempting custom monofins. I'm happy to use any monofin that is deemed safe ;)
My shooter monofin arrived today so I will be trying that out to see how it goes.
From my experience with a few different monofins, I do prefer the foot pockets that do not have adjustable straps because they always come loose or break!
My favourite at the moment is the competitor monofin, no blisters, no slipping and fits my feet like a glove :D

Are you talking about the competitor monofin? I saw a thread on here earlier where a Mermaid took a competitor monofin and cut away some of it to look more like a Mermaid tail shape. If you don't feel confident to do it yourself I'm sure some other friendly Mers would be able to help.

As long as my car doesn't need any more work than I'm expecting, we should be good [emoji14] I'm nervous about the mahina fin fitting though... I've always wanted one, and the sizing says it should fit, but I have wide feet...

01-30-2016, 09:07 PM
I wouldn't even know what else to try haha! I have a foil, which pinches, and a Finis Rapid which squeezes my feet. I'm hopeful that the merfin has some give since it's rubber. Plus I'd use socks with it. I checked the foot pocket dimensions and in theory, it should just fit lol.

Seraphina Suds

It varies. Usually a 10 for sneakers or sandals, but if I want nice shoes like heels I need a size 12.
I measured my feet and they're the exact limit of the foot pocket on the large lol

The pigment starts out colour and the temperature makes it disappear showing the colour underneath ��

Woah! I've been dreaming of a color change tail for a long time! I want to get one to match my pet Cichlid (the only one left in my tank from the original group of six. He has been around almost five years now!). He changes from bright yellow to pale blue depending on time of day and mood :) If I can't figure out how to make a tail like that on my own I guess I know who to contact and get a tail from ;)

Naw! What a shame! Your tails are so beautiful!!! And there is nobody else in Australia that makes the silicone ones to sell. Would go back to it, once the business settles down, and you got everything else in check? Or is it something you decided there and then, that's it, no more?
