The EDSS impression material is a 2-part silicon based putty. When 2 equal parts of the base and catalyst are blended together, the mixture will cure to a consistency similar to that of the frog. The blended impression material is then placed in the bottom of the foot with a shoe and pad nailed over the top of it, or an impression pad is taped over it to allow it to cure. A perfect mold is made when the horse stands on the impression pad and the material is distributed over the sole surface of the foot.
