Summary of Silicone e gesso para casco

00:00:00 - 00:15:00

In the YouTube video "Silicone e gesso para casco" (Silicone and plaster for helmet), Renan Modesto introduces Mustad's new line of silicones for horse hooves, available in three densities. The soft silicones are ideal for sensitive areas, while the Hoof Cast line offers fiberglass-reinforced gessed material for greater stability. The speaker also discusses using oxide of zinc to prevent helmet strap decay and A25 silicone to protect bumpers. The Roof Che 2.5 product requires handling with gloves due to its quick hardening when wet. The video demonstrates using gesso to create a base for horse hoof boots, providing support and preventing fractures, and explains the benefits of using both silicones and gesso for horse care. These products can be purchased on Mustad and Latan's e-commerce sites and from various distributors in Brazil.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Silicone e gesso para casco," Renan Modesto presents the new line of Mustad silicones, which come in three different densities: a super soft, a medium, and a firmer one. The silicones, which come in 1.5 kg containers with components A and B, are mixed in equal parts to create a final fixed density. The soft silicones are ideal for animals with sensitivity, particularly in the sole, frog, and navicular regions. Mustad also introduced a new product, the Soft Zno, which contains zinc oxide and offers bactericidal and fungicidal properties, allowing for application without the need for specific preparations. The silicones take around 4 to 5 minutes to catalyze and reach their final density, with the process being faster in warmer days. The second line of products is the Hoof Cast, a fiberglass-reinforced gessed material, which is useful for cases requiring greater stability, such as laminitis or navicular fractures. The Roof Che, a 2.5 cm thick material, is used for sole, frog, and bar applications in conjunction with the silicones.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Silicone e gesso para casco" (Silicone and plaster for helmet), the speaker explains the process of treating a horse's helmet with oxide of zinc and A25 silicone. To prevent the ranilha (strap) from decaying, they suggest using oxide of zinc, while A25 silicone is used to protect the bubos (bumpers) and prevent the constrictive effect of the plaster from damaging the horse's skin. The speaker emphasizes the importance of wearing gloves when handling the Roof cche 2.5 product, as it reacts with oxygen and hardens quickly when wet. The process involves applying the oxide of zinc to the caudal (rear) portion of the helmet, followed by applying A25 silicone to the bubos. The speaker notes that different silicones can be used together, as they will fuse when catalyzing. The focus is on protecting the bubos with A25 silicone, and the process involves moistening the plaster and applying it to the helmet, starting with the perimeter and then filling in the rest of the sola (sole) of the helmet.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Silicone and Gesso for a Horse's Hoof," the speaker explains the benefits of using gesso in creating a horse's hoof boot. The gesso has started to catalyze, and the speaker then puts on a rubber glove and presses the hoof into the gesso, allowing it to leave an impression. The gesso helps create a good base for the horse's hoof to rest and supports the frog in case of laminitis. It also constricts the casing, helping to prevent fractures. The gesso is firm and thick, allowing the speaker to work with it easily. After about 30-35 days since application, the removal process is relatively simple, and the speaker demonstrates how the silicone has adhered to the gesso, forming a strong and thick sole. The gesso provides support to the horse's sensitive sole and can be used in emergencies to heal painful conditions. The silicones used in the gesso blend together, acting as one.
• 00:15:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Silicone and Gypsum for Helmets," the speaker mentions where to find the specified products. They can be found on Mustad and Latan's e-commerce sites, as well as various distributors spread throughout Brazil.
