Slacker™ allows the user to vary the degree of tackiness to the cured silicone, allowing for the creation of self-sticking silicone appliances. The amount of tackiness is in direct proportion to the amount of Slacker™ added. Pieces created with Slacker™ will not exude silicone oil, eliminating a common problem with other softening methods. Slacker™ can be added in larger proportions to Smooth-On’s super soft and stretchy platinum silicones (for example, Dragon Skin™ FX-Pro™) to make silicone gel that can be used to create gel-filled silicone prosthetic appliances. Gel-filled appliances will flex, bend, and even wrinkle like human flesh. Silicone gels created with Slacker™ can also be used to create cushioning materials for medical applications (anaplastology). Use Skin Tite™ or Dermatac™ to temporarily, but securely, adhere silicone appliances to the skin. Please note: Slacker™ should not be used with Ecoflex™ 00-10 or Ecoflex™ GEL.
