Royal JeL-E

Description

FuseFX Royal Jel‑E is a professional silicone gel specifically formulated for creating realistic dimensional textures and effects in silicone work. Its thick, viscous consistency makes it ideal for building wounds, burns, scars, and other sculpted flesh details directly on silicone appliances or prosthetic pieces. Because it’s silicone‑based, Royal Jel‑E remains permanently flexible, resists cracking, and integrates seamlessly with other silicone components. Easy to manipulate with tools or fingers, it allows artists to achieve highly detailed, lifelike topography without blending issues or loss of stretch. Designed for film, theatre, and high‑end FX fabrication, this product offers durable results that hold up under heat, motion, and extended wear—perfect for creating complex surface features that read well on camera and in person.

Instructions

Directions for Use – Royal JeL-E

Pour a small amount of Royal JeL-E into a container. Using a soft brush, apply a thin, even coat to the silicone mold, creating a uniform film over the entire surface. Use a hairdryer to speed up drying. As you brush, the product will turn matte and the brush will begin to drag slightly, indicating proper coverage. Ensure no areas are missed. Apply a second coat if needed. Once the Royal JeL-E film has set, carefully brush in or pour your silicone. Allow to fully cure, then remove the silicone piece and rinse under warm water to remove the film. The surface will be clean and ready for painting.

Floating Clay Sculptures from a Plaster Lifecast

Royal JeL-E performs best on clean, dry plaster (stone) lifecasts. Do not seal the surface. Brush on a liberal coat of Royal JeL-E, working it well into the texture. Dry with a hairdryer, then apply a second coat. If the surface feels dry, apply a third coat. Once dry, apply clay and sculpt as normal. When the sculpture is complete, cut your clay into sections as desired. Place the lifecast and clay into a water bath and allow to soak for several hours. The Royal JeL-E will liquefy, releasing the clay from the lifecast. Gently lift the clay pieces away.
