PlatSil Gel 00 – Platinum Silicone

User Endorsement:

"I’ve found this silicone perfect for repairing blank silicone babies. I’ve never found another silicone that works so well for dolls – it cures quickly, thickens easily with Thi-Vex, and its natural viscosity means fewer drips while working. I also use it for painting (mixing pigments and diluting as with Psycho Paint). Often I underpaint with PlatSil Gel before sealing and matting with Psycho Paint.

I regularly recommend this product in my tutorials, although some students do find it difficult to source."
