"It is best to use the pigment designed to work with the PlatSil Gel-10 you are using. I know they are expensive, but they are designed to work together. And, a little goes a long way. One set of silicone pigments should cover your needs for a very…"

Dawn Brown replied to tam hinton's discussion colouring silicone"Hi Tam, working with silicone has its unique challenges. One of the main things to consider is nothing will stick to silicone but silicone. If you try to paint your silicone piece later with acrylic or whatever, it will just rub off. It is worth it…"
Dawn Brown replied to Dawn Brown's discussion New stopmo short on SYFY channel"Hi Nick!
Thank you! Glad you like the character. Fortunately I did not have any problems animating the head. The helmet splits in two. The back half is permanently attached to the collar, so only the front pulls off, and is keyed to fit back into…"
StopmoNick replied to Dawn Brown's discussion New stopmo short on SYFY channel"Nice character!
So I guess you would have had the same problem of animating a head inside a clear helmet as Mars Attacks. Did you remove and replace the helmet, as they did before giving up and going cgi? Or is it possibly only the front…"

Dawn Brown replied to Simon Tytherleigh's discussion Using cushion foam with silicone"It sounds like you have discovered a great technique for a lightweight torso or anything with a large mass that needs to remain flexible and retain the beauty of silicone. Again, thanks for sharing and I look forward to your progress."
Dawn Brown replied to Simon Tytherleigh's discussion Using cushion foam with silicone"Hi Simon, that is very interesting. Now will you put that piece in your puppet mould and pour your regular silicone (Platsil or whatever) around it? And the puppet silicone should stick to the glazing silicone without soaking into the upholster foam…"
"Go for it! Painting silicone is a bit tricky to start but gets much easier with experience. I am really enjoying using the d-limonene instead of naphtha, as it smells nice and is much less nasty. I find the silicone takes longer to go off, but can…"
Lee (Kongy boy) Ashworth replied to Dawn Brown's discussion Substitution for Naphtha for painting Silicone?"I'm also about to have my first go with silicone and i'm hesitant, due to all the problems that seem to come with the stuff........ Don't have latex near near it......... Difficult to paint, etc.I've coloured silicone caulk, just…"
Lee (Kongy boy) Ashworth replied to Dawn Brown's discussion Substitution for Naphtha for painting Silicone?"I think this is what you need (any brand). Used for "petrol" lighters, here in the UK."
Jason Whetzell replied to Dawn Brown's discussion Substitution for Naphtha for painting Silicone?"What about silicone oil?"
