    Smooth On Products

    I recently discovered a place nearby my home that sells the "Trial size" bottles of many Smooth-On products for a few dollars cheaper than the website!
    Only thing is I have NO idea where to start with them! These are the ones offered:
    http://www.smooth-on.com/Silicone-Ru...136/index.html
    http://www.smooth-on.com/Rebound=-25...132/index.html
    http://www.smooth-on.com/gallery.php?galleryid=421
    http://www.smooth-on.com/Smooth-Cast...206/index.html

    Anyone have any experience with these products? And if so, can you tell me the pros/cons of using them for a tail?

    I've ordered some of the Shell-Shock Plastic, so I can give you a review on that soon if you would like. :3

    I have not used those particular products you have listed.

    However if you ever are needing some more detailed information on them , its great to call the smoothon tech help department, They are so nice and will help you decide on what materials will best suit your needs.

    The people there at tech support are amazing,
    They will sit there forever while you explain your project to them and give you options/explain the pros/cons of each and even share some tips and tricks when using a particular product.

    I can back up what Andrew mentioned. The staff is exceedingly kind. I've called them about shipping and they were more than willing to explain things to me.

    I get all my supplies ( dragonskin, latex, clay, liquid plastic etc) from a sculpture supply store near me that was listed on the distributors page for smoothon.

    Are there any other brands of skin safe silicone other than Dragonskin? I've never been able to find any.
