. Page 22.443.3The following sections describe the different elements of the system.The Skin SubstrateA material called Dragon Skin® that is a high-performance platinum cure silicone rubberwas chosen as the substrate. This two-part silicone rubber material can be cast, brushed,thickened, and shaped to almost any desirable shape. Mixing an equal ratio by volume ofparts A and B creates a material with a Shore A Hardness of 10, tear strength of 102pounds per linear inch and a possible elongation of up to 1000%2.By adding a third equal part of Slacker® Tactile Mutator, a silicone rubber can be madewhich is softer and more “flesh-like,” with rebound properties. Additionally, by adding asmall quantity of Fleshtone Silc Pig® Silicone Pigment, a very
