Neill's Materials Skin Imitator 4-Component System is the premier direct-applied platinum silicone gel for rapid, on-skin casualty and trauma SFX.
A cutting edge, 4 component prosthetic silicone system designed by industry legends to bring unparalleled efficiency and realism to your makeup chair.
Formulated for direct skin application, it cures right on the performer in just 5-7 minutes, making it the absolute gold standard for creating fast, seamless cuts, deep burns, lacerations, and complex fleshy trauma under high pressure filming conditions.
What makes this system a true kit saver is its unmatched dual capability: it includes both a Flesh Tone and a Clear Part-B component in a single kit. This eliminates the need to carry separate compound systems, offering a dramatically broader range of casualty effects from one cohesive workspace.
Furthermore, its industry leading softness delivers a highly flexible, flesh like finish that moves organically with the actor's muscles, preventing buckling or lifting during extreme action.
What is Included in the Universal Kit
-
Part A (50ml): The core platinum-cure silicone base component.
-
Part B - Flesh Tone (50ml): Formulated as a medium-flesh skin tone. It is meticulously calibrated to blend perfectly with Neill's Materials' Key Colour Pigments for seamless skin matching and edge concealment.
-
Part B - Clear (50ml): A crystal-clear base designed for maximum transparency. Perfect for building custom flesh colors, deep muscle tissue layers, or glassy, blistered burns.
-
Part C - Softener/Thinner (50ml): Gives you complete control over the system's cured density and fluid flow, allowing you to mimic soft tissue properties or drop viscosity for airbrush-style edge melting.
Why SFX Pros Love the 4-Component System
-
Two Kits in One: Packing both the Clear and Flesh Tone Part-B bases gives you the ultimate versatility to work on standard skin textures or create highly specific, translucent deep-tissue injuries without carrying extra inventory.
-
Hyper-Realistic Softness: Engineered to cure noticeably softer than alternative direct-applied silicone brands on the market, achieving highly convincing skin mimicry.
-
Flawless Colour Matching: The Flesh Tone base acts as a perfect midpoint, easily modified with flocking or alcohol-activated pigments to align with almost any actor's skin tone.
-
Time & Cost Efficient: Cures incredibly fast directly on the skin. Additionally, because components can be purchased individually to top up your kit as needed, it remains a highly economical tool for busy departments.
Pro Tips for the Ultimate Application
-
Proportional Control: Mix Part A and either Part B variant in equal measure (1:1). Introduce Part C (Softener) into the mix dynamically to achieve the desired flesh elasticity or to ease the blending of out-of-kit edges.
-
Custom Pigmenting: When using the Clear Part-B, add a pin-prick of silicone-safe pigments or flocking fibres before incorporating Part A to lock in realistic cellular depth.
- Avoid Inhabitation: Ensure the skin is clean and completely free of latex-based glues or sulphur-containing materials prior to application, as these chemicals will permanently inhibit the platinum-silicone cure.
