Do note that LSR is generally more capable of reflecting a nuanced mold texture than thermoplastic elastomers because LSR exhibits a low viscosity that allows it to flow more easily across the entire mold and into complex geometries. On the other hand, bio-sourced tend to be more opaque, making them easily colorable, but they do have a different tint than prime raw materials.
