⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Martinez - Medical Prosthetics Lab
"We’ve been using the Platinum Cure Life Casting Silicone (Advanced Model) for custom hand prosthetics since February 2025, and the results are outstanding. The 1:1 mixing ratio eliminates measurement errors, and the 6.0 kN/m tear strength ensures durability even under repetitive stress. We’ve significantly reduced post-processing corrections thanks to its low shrinkage and fine detail reproduction."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Whitaker - Independent Artist
"As someone creating lifelike prosthetics for film and cosplay, this silicone has changed my workflow. I bought the Base Model in October 2024 for home use, and despite being labeled 'entry-level,' it performs like a pro-grade material. The platinum cure means no odor, which is huge when working in small spaces. I’ve tinted it successfully to match skin tones with no issues."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Arjun Patel - Biomedical Engineer, Mobility Clinic
"Our clinic needed a reliable, skin-safe silicone for on-site prosthetic adjustments. After testing multiple options, we chose the Pro Model for its 700% elongation and fast 10-minute cure time (with heat acceleration). It’s FDA-compliant and hypoallergenic—critical for our patients. The ability to customize viscosity has allowed us to create dynamic joint components that move naturally."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Fiona Clarke - Dental Mold Artisan
"I primarily use this for detailed facial and dental impressions. Purchased the Advanced Model in January 2025. The UV resistance is a game-changer for display pieces. While slightly more expensive than tin-cure alternatives, the absence of acetic acid fumes makes it safer for prolonged studio use. Only downside: requires meticulous cleanliness during mixing to avoid inhibition."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Lee - DIY Hobbyist
"I wasn’t sure if this was overkill for my small sculpting projects, but after trying it in November 2024, I won’t go back. Used it to make a custom silicone hand mold from a 3D-printed positive—captured every fingerprint. The 1:1 mix by volume made it foolproof, and cleanup was easy. Even my partner, who has sensitive skin, tested the final piece with no reaction. Worth every penny."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
