Mitch, as I've said before this video series is super helpful as it adds nuances that I didn't pick up in your previous works! I have used your techniques for making realistic skin in silicone often and I have had remarkable results! But I have a bit of an off the wall question: I am working on a prop with skin but it isn't cost effective for my client to use silicone and as it is in a haunt and not really close to the patrons, I have opted to use polyurethane, specifically PT-Flex 20, I know that you used to sell this product, so I thought I'd ask, can one use flocking with this product and does it help with the realism, and if so does it help? Any thoughts would be very helpful.

Flocking doesn't work as well in Polyurethanes. PTFlex 20 is opaque, so the flocking doesn't show up very well.

@@brickintheyard thanks, I was afraid that would be the case.

[@billgreen4592]

@@brickintheyard Do you have any thoughts, tips or tricks to make PT-Flex 20 to look more natural?

@@billgreen4592 I would just spend slightly more on TC-5110F or TC-5110. Both are reasonably priced and will be much easier to work with and get realistic results. Also no UV issues.
