Oh no! Some how the final product ended up being huge and fit my MOM! I have no idea how! I wrapped it pretty tight! I took scissors and cut it down the middle in the back, and then wrapped it around and resized it to my measurements. I just finished glueing it again. I hope it comes out well.

hi jazz!
i have a question for you. how can we glue the monofin in the dragonskin? im making a tail myself in silicone and ive heard and read that you have to glue the monofin in the silicone. can you help me? thanks!

**jazz2453** · 07-25-2013, 09:53 PM

It depends what monofin ur using. I'm using a finis foil which is made or rubber so it doesn't stick to the dragon skin. There is a thread in tail making questions with more detail then I can give. I'd suggest u check there.

**jazz2453** · 07-26-2013, 08:50 PM

Had a blast swimming in it! Can't wait to paint, but I'm going on vacation this weekend so I'll update when I'm back.

I'm so proud of myself that I was actually able to pull through. I want to thank my best friend for giving an extra hand along the whole journey!

**Taz** · 07-26-2013, 08:54 PM

Well done!!! Go relax on your vacation, you've done a lot of work lately!

**Mermaid Dottie** · 07-26-2013, 09:17 PM

You are an amazing kid!!
Rock on sweetheart!

**AniaR** · 07-26-2013, 10:08 PM

wow amazing! Congrats Jazz!!! it looks fin-tastic. It's still a bit see through, but I think you can thin some silicone down, mix it with the pigments and paint it on to be darker? Maybe ask some of the other tail makers or better yet call the silicone people! I wish I made tails so I could better put it into words. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WAS YOUR FIRST FULL ATTEMPT OF SILICONE. so freaking proud of you girl~~!~ <3
