The easiest way to melt EZ Flesh is to use an electric skillet. Set the temp. control for 350° to 400°, and allow EZ Flesh to melt slowly. There may be a small amount of steam released so proper ventilation is a good idea. However, there should be no harmful fumes produced by melting EZ Flesh.

At this point, you may add more colorant to create a tint more tailored to your application. Just a few drops of Universal Pigment, Tint All, or powdered pigment is necessary. "Creep" up on the color you want. You can even add acrylic paint to the mix, but paint will not give quite as smooth a coloration as the aforementioned pigments. Plasticizer can be added at this time as well. Plasticizer allows for easier hair punching in EZ Flesh, and for a more bendable formula.

Now that your mix of EZ Flesh is homogenous, turn the temp back to about 300°. (Cooler EZ Flesh is easier to brush, and holds fewer micro-bubbles against the cooler mold surface.) When EZ Flesh is a slightly thick er consistency, "wet" a chip brush with it, and paint a thin layer into your open mold. If your mold is first prepared with an oil, or silicone mold lube it will extend mold life, and make a better finished part. You can build up a thickness in successive coats. However it is recommended that the brush be removed from the skillet, due to scorching of the bristles. (This can adversely color EZ Flesh.)
