What did you use over the tape? What was it that you painted on. And did you use a mono fin? And how did you attach it

The monofin is in a sleeve like a fabric tail so it didnt have to be attached. I didnt use anything over the tape but I stuffed the form with trashbags

Is this silicone the same as the glue on the bathroom sink and shower stall or something specific?

I know I'm late but... why not just mix the powders into the silicone? Sure you'd have to work in small batches, but I think it'd create a really nice shimmery effect. And I'd like that the colors would be slightly different in intensity, because it would catch the light and look shinier.

So I had, I think I mention it in the tail video. The main reason I didnt do this is the convience of being able to squeeze it from the tube to make the scales. Totally doable mixed in and gives a different look too! They look more marbly than this does

Please don't use all purpose silicone. It's very toxic. Use silicone that is safe for marine life or even food safe silicone.

The silicone that I used was rated for aquariums. But yes it is not technically "skin safe" like dragon skin. But some people cant afford that as the amount needed for a full silicone dragonskin would have been a few hundred

Hey I found a easier way to do this find me on Facebook Lacey durrant if u mix the pearl ex into the silicone and then put into a piping bag and pipe on it’s so much easier that way u don’t loose colour or have to add more later and prime it it’s great I have a top with fins I made out of regular silicone u couldn’t tell the difference

You used how much silicone? You must have a tiny body & tail. I'm trying this and already used 9 silicone tubes and I'm only a little bit half way done with one side of it. Update finished half the tail used 12 and a half tubes on one side.
