What it is used for
The Brush 108 is designed for texturing and stippling techniques in special effects makeup contexts. Its medium-sized flat straight tip allows precise work on medium surface areas, whether applying materials directly to skin or onto silicone and latex prosthetics.
- Stippling of pores, skin textures and artificial wounds
- Application of silicone and latex prosthetics with prosthetic adhesives
- Painting and pigmentation of silicone prosthetics with intrinsic or surface colours
- Controlled removal of prosthetics using solvents
- Application of bases and makeup layers on irregular surfaces
- Creating aged, burned or damaged skin textures for film and theatre
- Working with painted silicone on skin for character FX effects
How to use it
- Prepare the surface you will be working on: clean and degreased skin, or a correctly cured prosthetic.
- Load the brush with the material to be applied (prosthetic adhesive, pigmented silicone, acrylic FX paint or removal solvent).
- For stippling: press the flat tip perpendicularly against the surface and lift with a quick motion, without dragging. Repeat to cover the area.
- To apply layers of pigment or paint, use the brush in short, controlled strokes, loading a small amount at a time for greater precision.
- To remove prosthetics, apply the appropriate solvent with the brush at the edge of the prosthetic and allow it to act before gently lifting.
- When finished, clean the brush with the appropriate solvent or soap and water depending on the material used, and dry it tip-down to preserve the fibre shape.
Usage tips
Brush load control
For stippling, an excessive material load produces smears and loses the characteristic stipple texture. Always load less than you think you need and build up in layers. It is much easier to add material than to correct an excess.
Cleaning between materials and after use
The vegan synthetic bristles of the Brush 108 can withstand solvents, but that does not mean they should be left soaking. Clean the brush immediately after use with the solvent appropriate to the material worked with. A well-maintained brush retains the shape of the dual fibre and performs just as well on the hundredth use as on the first. Store it with the tip protected and without lateral pressure on the bristles.
Combining with other brushes in the range
The Brush 108 works best as part of a complete FX brush set. For fine lines and contour details, combine it with the Titanic Pro-FX Brush 101 fine liner or the Brush 102 angle liner. Using the right brush for each task extends the life of all your brushes and improves the final result.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a stipple brush and a conventional paint brush?
A stipple brush has a flat tip and is used with a press-and-lift motion, not a dragging one. This creates pore, skin or roughness textures that a conventional brush cannot reproduce. The Brush 108 also features dual fibre that multiplies the contact points per press, increasing the realism of the texture.
Can I use this brush with prosthetic adhesives and aggressive solvents?
Yes. The vegan synthetic bristles of the Brush 108 are designed to withstand contact with solvents, and the ferrule adhesive is formulated not to yield to them. Even so, always clean the brush at the end of each session to extend its useful life.
Can this brush be used to apply pigmented silicone directly to skin?
Yes, it is one of its most common applications in FX makeup. You can use it to apply pigmented platinum silicone in thin layers directly on skin or over already-placed prosthetics, both for base colouring and for surface texture details.
How many layers of material can I apply with this brush in a single session?
There is no technical limit defined by the brush itself. The number of layers depends on the material you are applying and its drying or curing time. When stippling with acrylic FX paint, the standard approach is to work in thin layers, allowing each to dry before the next. Let each layer set before repeating the process.
Is it suitable for professional use on long film shoots and stage productions?
Yes. The Titanic Pro-FX range is designed for professional use in film, television and theatre. The sustainable materials and solvent resistance of the Brush 108 make it suitable for long working days with multiple cleanings and repeated use.
How do you correctly clean this brush after working with silicone?
If you have worked with uncured silicone, use the appropriate solvent for silicone (such as naphtha or a dedicated silicone tool cleaner) and gently rub the bristles. If the silicone has already cured on the brush, it will be much harder to remove, which is why it is essential to clean immediately after each use.
Do vegan bristles perform as well as natural ones for this type of work?
For FX makeup with solvent-based materials, vegan synthetic bristles have clear advantages over natural ones: they do not absorb material in the same way, are easier to clean and do not deteriorate with solvent contact. For stippling and prosthetic application, performance is equivalent or superior.
Can I use this brush to work with liquid latex?
Yes, the Brush 108 is compatible with liquid latex. Clean the brush before the latex cures, as once dry it is very difficult to remove. Use warm water and soap to clean fresh latex from the bristles.
