Silicone lubricant with thick fluid consistency

[MichaelP]

Too thick and hard to apply on and hold on moist surface.

The materials were not formulated for molding purposes. They're for bonding/gluing. So the standard answer will be "just use Vaseline".
Been there.

Oh, so you're building a T800?

You know, they came out with/are making/will come out with a new model.

Damn, try to conjugate verbs for closed, time-like loops....

Somebody gave me a sample of an even better lubricant for my purposes. Unfortunately, it's long out of production. It was made by Bosworth company for dentistry and called Masque.

It's a silicon lubricant/coating agent that creates thin quite resistant to water film. The consistency is hard to describe. It's a transparent rubbery jelly. If you ever had a chance to touch live jellyfish, it fees similar. You can smear it in a very thin film which will stay on a surface way better than vaseline or any "regular" lubricant we use in our workshops, and it's not messy. When you touch it, it leaves a thin long lasting slick film on your skin.

Might be worth asking around with dentists and oral surgeons to learn what they're using now instead of Masque?

I can ask myself. We use our old staple, vaseline, and are still looking for a better substitute.

Are these body parts you're molding against already dead?

Note: if I'll have to testify about your response please don't answer

The parts are dead and loving it. In other words, they're dead enough.

I think I found a good separating media for my task. Mineral oil.
Thank you, guys, for your participation. I appreciate your remarks and suggestions.
