Mermaid Tail in the Making:
Here we see the latest in Mermaid tail technology! This is a silicone laminate with apandex with a slick liner and between-the-leg inserts which hide the individual legs to create the mermaid shape. Inside the tail is strong, tough, semi-flexible urethane foam, which comes up and is fit under the human model's feet.
The first run in the molds was a success! We are very pleased with the progress of the mermaid tail. This picture shows the human body form (in dark grey) laying on it's face and inserted into the tail.
Trimming, touch ups and paint are next for the outside, with a sleek liner and attachments in the fabrication.
