SchminkenGrime Stainless Steel Spatula

The SchminkenGrime Stainless Steel Spatula is a high-quality double-ended stainless steel spatula, ideal for a wide range of applications in prosthetics, grime and special effects work. Made from surgical-grade stainless steel, it is fully rust-proof and dishwasher-safe, so it lasts for years. A precision tool used by professionals for its versatility and durability.

• Surgical-grade stainless steel, rust-proof and dishwasher-safe
• Double-ended: one side for mixing, one for precision work
• Rigid construction, does not flex under pressure
• Compatible with silicone, wax, clay and adhesive products

What can you use the Stainless Steel Spatula for?

The spatula works well with a wide range of SFX materials:

• Mouldlife Sculpt Gel for mixing and modelling direct-to-skin silicone effects
• Polytek PlatSil Gel and Smiths Deadener for prosthetic builds
• Wax products for sculpting wounds and scars
• Pros-Aide Cream for sealing edges between prosthetic and skin
• Clay and sculpting materials for SFX work

Why choose this spatula over a standard palette knife?

Most palette knives flex too much for precise SFX work. This spatula is rigid enough to handle thick silicone and wax without bending, yet the double-ended design gives you a mixing edge and a narrower precision tip in one tool.

Choose this spatula when you work regularly with platinum silicones, prosthetic adhesives or wax. The surgical-grade steel means you can sterilise it between uses without any deterioration.

How to use it

Use the wider end for mixing two-part silicones or blending colours on a mixing palette. Switch to the narrower end for detail work, pressing edges or filling seams. Between mixing steps, dip the spatula in 99.9% IPA Alcohol to prevent silicone from sticking to the blade.

Pro tip: When working with Pros-Aide Cream to blend prosthetic edges, keep the spatula slightly warm by running it briefly under warm water. The warmth helps smooth the adhesive into skin texture more easily.

Cleaning and care

Wash the spatula in warm soapy water or place it in the dishwasher after use. Store it dry to prevent any water marks on the steel. For silicone residue that won't rinse off, wipe the blade with a small amount of 99.9% IPA Alcohol before washing.

What can you use it for?
