Dragon Skin 10 Very Fast Platinum Silicone Cure 2 Pints Kit - Fast

In this review the Dragon Skin 10 Very Fast Platinum Silicone Cure 2 Pints Kit is evaluated for makers who need a high performance, quick-curing mold rubber. Our review finds this kit best for sculptors, prototypers and small foundry or candle makers who want a very stretchy, durable silicone that cures at room temperature with minimal shrinkage. The single biggest reason to consider it is speed: this formulation cures extremely fast and reliably, cutting wait time while still producing strong, tear-resistant molds suitable for repeated use.

Key Features

• Very fast platinum cure: reduces total project time by reaching full cure quickly at room temperature so you can demold and proceed to casting sooner.
• High elasticity and strength: cured silicone stretches many times its original size without tearing, making it ideal for detailed undercuts and flexible molds.
• Negligible shrinkage: preserves fine detail and dimensional accuracy, which matters for rapid prototyping and restoration work.
• Room temperature cure: eliminates the need for ovens or post-cure equipment, simplifying workshop setup and lowering energy use.
• Suitable for multiple casting medias: designed for wax casting, concrete, resins and other materials commonly used in studio and small-scale industrial applications.
• Durable for repeat use: the cured rubber withstands repeated casting cycles, offering long-term value for small production runs.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at hobbyists and professionals in the arts, crafts and small manufacturing sectors who cast small to medium parts and need a reliable, fast-curing silicone. It suits sculptors, modelmakers, candle and wax casters, and restoration technicians who value flexibility and detail retention in molds.

Those who should look elsewhere include users requiring ultra-soft rubbers for skin-safe prosthetics or very long working times for large pour operations; the very fast cure can shorten working time and the material is reported variably for stiffness by different users, so test a small batch before committing to large pours.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extremely fast cure time speeds up project workflows and reduces wait time between molding and casting.
• Very stretchy and tear-resistant when cured, allowing clean demolding around complex details and undercuts.
• Negligible shrinkage keeps fine surface detail and dimensional fidelity important for prototyping and restoration.
• Works at room temperature and is compatible with a range of casting materials, simplifying setup.

Cons

• Some users report mixed consistency during mixing and that the mixture can become hard during use, so plan for rapid working and smaller batches for complex pieces.
• Customer feedback on stiffness varies, so it may feel too firm or too flexible depending on the application; testing is advised.

It offers excellent value for small production runs and prototyping, but buyers should test stiffness and mix behavior on sample pours to ensure it meets the specific needs of their projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this silicone suitable for wax casting?
Yes. The product is designed for wax casting and works well with foundry and candle making applications.

Does it require heat to cure?
No. Dragon Skin 10 cures at room temperature and achieves a reliable cure with negligible shrinkage.

Will the fast cure time be a problem for large molds?
The very fast cure can reduce working time, so for large pours or complex molds consider batching or testing a small trial to confirm handling time.
