Ouch, it makes sense when you say it but I probably wouldn't remember to add something to grip either.

It's best to use something really absorbent, maybe yarn? I would coat the yarn on the armature with silicone prior to placing it in the mold and allow it to cure, that way you don't have to worry about the yarn showing trough to the surface of the skin in the finished casting.

what would you put on some wire limbs? I wrapped some thread around my puppet's legs before I cast them but it took forever and I don't know if it's worked right or not yet. (I'm making the legs, upper body and head seperately)

After an overnight cure on the silicone caulking repair, it looks like it worked. I never want to mess with a puppet too much but, I did twist the head into the position that messed-up on me yesterday because of the sliding silicone and this time the silicone is staying in place! Yay! :)

Thanks for the heads up!
And great timing, I finished an Ultracal 30 mold today for just such a character.
