Mauricioch98 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hi guys, Im planning on doing 1/2 silicone busts and wanted to reach out for help to the experts on the forum. I can find platinum silicone locally, but no pigments and ordering online is sadly not really an option. Can oil paint or grinded chalk pastels be used to pigment the silicone?

Mauricioch98 Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Thanks Gene, George the owner of inmortal masks? 😮 I´m a big fan of their work Im gonna run some tests with chalk pastels tomorrow, hopefully it won´t inhibit the silicone from curing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptgreek Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Man, sorry for the late add in. Oils are ok, but watch your ratios. Most chalk pastels contain sulfer which can inhibit.. if you were to use those, switch to an aceto paint system instead of platsil. Basically paint using a caulking ( sil-poxy would be recommended) use a few dictated airbrush that won’t ever be used for a platinum system like psycho paint ever again as the Silpoxy inhibits platsil cure.. the air brush will be infected. We have airbrush set ups for platinum.. and others just for Silpoxy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
