The tail is basically half silicone so it would roughly be the same as half the price of a full silicone tail. The silicone blended waistband will be separate. Too much customization like on full silicone tails is what drives the price up on tails. PM me when you're ready.
It's supposed to be sunny Friday. Hopefully, I can film something!!!
Hey! So I have been sculpting a tail for a really freaking long time now and I wanted to clarify something with yours. After sculpting, you made a mold of resin? And the you cast the mold in silicone? Did you have a two sided two part mold or only do one side? How quickly did the resin bind to itself because I feel like you have to do it in patches because of how quickly the resin cures.

TheAfanc, take a look through the tailmaking threads...there's tons of info there, most of your questions are already answered. :D
Hi TheAfanc!
My process was to create the clay sculpt and then pour the thermoplastic resin, Shell Shock, over it and spread it QUICKLY! The window is only 8 minutes so I suggest getting a friend to help you spread over the mold fast! I didn't do it in stages I did it all at once. After it cured you have to thoroughly clean out the clay then mix the silicone and pour it. You only need ONE mold for the fluke since you will pour it twice (front & back.) It must, however, be identical from the right side to the left side or your edges will not line up when you sandwich them together. Does that help?
O.O I think I just realized that you put the two pieces of the fluke around a sturdy monofin, right? That's my issue, I've been imagining this as a solid piece. Ok, cool thanks! And 8 minutes should be fine. The resin i use for other things is a 2 minute window and I was freaking out about how short that was XD
Holy carp! That tail is MAGIC! Have you posted a pricing list for selling them??

Well when you start selling, let me know! I just bought a silicone tail however, I'm looking for a hybrid type tail! It's truly amazing!
Thank you so much Roman and Rennara! I FINALLY got to take it for a photoshoot at the beach on Friday so pics soon of that. PM me when you're ready!
