Simple Wound Task Trainer Instructions

On a flat surface, form clay to represent the wound you need. This may include lacerations, textured skin, etc.

Try to make the transition from clay to work surface smooth, so the end product appears more natural on skin or on a manikin. Keep in mind that the clay design will be what the finished silicone looks like. Take time to clean it up if needed.

TIP: If you are using clay to make a barrier, you can line your work surface with a piece of wax paper for easy cleanup.

TIP: Dipping a finger in water and then rubbing it on the clay can give it a smoother texture. Just be careful not to use too much water.

On a flat surface, roll clay into long strips about 1.5-2” wide, and ¼” thick. The length of your pieces will be dependent on the size of your wound

Ideally using clay, make a wall around the wound, leaving at least 1cm between the wound and the wall. Make sure no gaps appear that could let the Smooth Cast™ seep out.

TIP: You can roll out the clay using the Smooth Cast™ bottles (securely sealed) or a rolling pin.

To make a 0.75” thick layer in a 3x5” mould, you will require 180 mL of Smooth Cast™ (90ml each of parts A and B).

3/4” x 3” x 5” = 11.25in³.

11.25in³ x 16mL/in³ = 180 mL

Step 4A: Open and stir Smooth Cast™ Part A. With a different stirring tool, do the same for equal parts Part B. You need enough to completely cover the clay wound by at least a few millimetres.

Step 4B: Combine Parts A & B in a large cup and pour into clay walls. Ensure there are no leaks, and cover any existing leaks with more clay.

Wait 10-15 minutes to let the Smooth Cast™ cure. It will become warm to the touch and opaque.

Once the Smooth Cast™ has hardened, you can peel away the clay which can also be reused.

TIP: You may notice some thin pieces of Smooth Cast™ in the clay. You can take these pieces out if you plan on reusing the clay.

The mould may have sharp edges or flashing (thin pieces of plastic). If so, use an exacto knife or scalpel to trim away any excess Smooth Cast™.

TIP: Using a toothbrush to scrub with warm water can help remove clay that may still be stuck to the mould.

If you decided to use a different size mould (i.e., not 3x5”) you need to determine how much silicone you need to fill your mould.

16 ml of silicone (8 ml each of parts A and B) will make 1in³ volume (16mL/in³).

E.g., To make a 0.75” thick layer in a 3x5” mould, you will require 180 mL of silicone (90ml each of parts A and B).

3/4” x 3” x 5” = 11.25in³.

11.25in³ x 16mL/in³ = 180 mL

Step 7A : Open and stir Dragon Skin™ Part A. With a different stirring tool, do the same for Part B.

Step 7B : Using a disposable measuring cup (e.g. graduated measuring cups), measure Dragon Skin™ Part B into a disposable cup large enough to hold the final amount.

Step 7C : Add flesh tone pigment(s) to Part B using a disposable toothpick or stir stick, and stir vigorously for 15 seconds/until completely combined without streaks. TIP: A little goes a long way. Start with a small amount of pigment; if you need more, add it, and stir again before adding Part A.

Step 7D : Add Part A to Part B and mix vigorously for 15 seconds / until completely combined without streaks.

IMPORTANT : Now that A & B are combined, you must pour it within 12 minutes, or it will begin to set.

7C:

Pour the prepared silicone with the skin tone pigment of your choice into the mould. If you notice leaks, plug them with additional clay or tape.

Wait 40 mins (for a 3” x 5” wound) to cure. For other sizes, follow package instructions on wait time.

Once removed from mould, touch up any frayed edges with scissors if desired.

TIP: Baby powder can be used to remove the silicone task trainer to make it less sticky and easy to remove.
