Silicone caulk and Naptha thinning tests

StiltbeastStudios walks through hands-on tests of silicone caulk thinned with naphtha, exploring how this versatile mixture can be tinted with oil paints to create glossy, skin-like finishes. The material proves useful for a wide range of prop effects including blood, vomit, and general grime. The driving motivation behind the tests was developing a flexible silicone paint to serve as a realistic skin layer for a Kraken creature build. The video offers practical insight into how the ratio and tinting process affect the final look and behavior of the material.
