Usage tips
Work with the right materials
The tutorials in Prosthetics Magazine are designed with professional materials in mind. To reproduce the results shown in the magazine, it is important to use products of equivalent quality to those mentioned. At Feroca you will find prosthetic silicones, intrinsic pigments and adhesives compatible with the processes described in each issue.
Use the magazine as a technical guide, not just a visual one
Beyond the aesthetic side, the magazine includes technical information on ratios, cure times and material behaviour. Pay close attention to this data: it determines whether a prosthetic integrates well or fails on set. Note down the mix ratios and working times indicated for each process.
Complement your reading with real practice
The theory in the articles makes sense when applied in the workshop. Start with the simpler tutorials in the issue before tackling complex projects. If you are new to prosthetic fabrication, practise mixing and casting materials in small moulds first before making full anatomical pieces.
