Dragon Skin FX-Pro (Prosthetic Silicone) for Shallow Tray / Coaster Mold Calculator
Pre-loads specific gravity (1.07) and 1:1 mix ratio to calculate exact Part A & Part B weights with cup scraping buffer.
A standard Shallow Tray / Coaster Mold (20 × 15 × 2 cm minus 150 cm³ master) requires 520g (18.34 oz / 1.15 lbs) of Dragon Skin FX-Pro (Prosthetic Silicone). Mix 260g Part A with 260g Part B (8% buffer included).
Casting Material & Volume Mode
Pre-loads specific gravity and 1:1 ratio by weight.
Geometry determines the container-volume formula. Use water displacement when the cavity is irregular.
Volume displaced by your master object inside the box.
Compensates for resin clinging to mixing paddles and cup walls (8% recommended).
Includes 8% waste buffer at SG 1.07

Step-by-Step Mix Ratio Derivation: Dragon Skin FX-Pro (Prosthetic Silicone)
How displacement volume, specific gravity, and ratio split combine into final scale weights.
Calculates the empty fluid cavity by taking the gross 600 cm³ tray containment volume and deducting the 150 cm³ displaced by the master model.
Multiplies fluid volume by the specific gravity of Dragon Skin FX-Pro (Prosthetic Silicone) (1.07 g/cm³) plus an 8% buffer for cup scraping and pouring loss.
Distributes batch mass according to the exact 1:1 ratio by weight.
