How do you use Platsil Gel silicona?

This is extremely useful for makeup and character work, as it allows you to achieve the desired result with impressive quality and realism.
Platsil Gel silicona is the best on the market because it goes completely unnoticed — it conforms to the face and is completely invisible.
Platsil Gel, the best silicone for reborn babies
The world of platinum silicone replicas is a vast world to discover step by step, but one that offers endless creative possibilities. That's exactly why we're here at Feroca — to help you learn more about this wonderful creative universe of platinum silicone.
Below, we'll take a closer look at the possibilities of using Platsil Gel silicona.
One of the standout creations you can achieve with platinum silicone is the well-known reborn babies or dolls, which have been on the market for many years and have attracted a large number of enthusiastic creators.

Everything you need to keep in mind when making a platinum silicone reproduction of a reborn baby
One key factor when choosing silicone as a casting material is that it should be translucent. At Feroca, however, you won't need to worry about that, since our range of Platsil Gel silicona, recommended silicone material, is exactly that.
Why is it important that it be translucent? Well, as we mentioned earlier, being translucent means pigments are absorbed more effectively, so you can tint it in whatever color you want. In the case of reborn dolls, you can give them whatever skin tone you desire.
Another key factor when choosing the best silicone for reborn baby reproductions is the shore value — that is, the elasticity of the silicone, or how soft and pliable it will be. Depending on the platinum silicone reproduction work you want to do, you may want it to be softer or to have a little more body.
For reborn baby reproductions, Platsil Gel silicona is one of the fastest to polymerize, since not all silicones cure at the same rate.
Working time is crucial. For example, with a more complex piece to reproduce in platinum silicone, a longer working time may actually be more beneficial, allowing you to reach all the nooks and fine details more easily.
For reborn dolls, Platsil Gel silicona is ideal, as it has a shorter working time and a quicker demolding time. What does that mean in practice? Perfect platinum silicone replicas.
Finally, to carry out a platinum silicone reproduction of a reborn baby, it's essential to have a mold. On the Feroca blog you'll find various articles where we talk about different types of molds and how to make your own.
Not just any mold will do — it needs to be a special mold designed for silicone reproductions. At Feroca we have plenty of informative posts on the subject, such as the one shown below: Epoxy mold compatible with platinum silicones.
Inhibition problems with Platsil Gel silicona?
Getting back to the key point: platinum silicone can cure poorly due to contamination issues. These problems occur when it comes into contact with certain other materials. For example, inhibition issues can arise with polyester, latex, and others.
When working with this silicone, don't use latex gloves — use nitrile gloves instead.
In the technical data sheet for this silicone you'll find more examples of contamination issues with silicones, but when making reborn baby reproductions, this is one of the most important ones to be aware of.
What else can you make with Platsil Gel silicona?
As we've mentioned, besides reborn babies, with Platsil Gel silicona you can also create prosthetics, character makeups, or encapsulations.
To tint your platinum silicone in any color you like, Feroca offers you a wide selection of pigments.
It's best to tint only one of the two halves of the mix, since the secret to great platinum silicone reproductions is keeping the color from becoming too saturated.
When making hyperrealistic copies — not only in the case of reborn babies, but also when making prosthetics — the ideal outcome is a realistic skin tone that doesn't look oversaturated.
For example, you've probably seen a film where a younger actor or actress has been made up to look older or to have different features; or even where a double has been created. You've probably wondered more than once how that was possible. Well, now you know: with platinum silicone and its flawless reproductions.
