Using DavySil™ Silicone
Testing the silicone straight from the jar will give you
an indication of the standard firmness of the DavySil™
silicone.
Scooping a bit out and mixing it with other colours will
enable you to create the colour match you are trying to reach
e.g. a particular skin tone.
Adding Setting Agent.
As a guide:
- 1 level teaspoon of DavySil™ paste takes about 4
drops of setting agent
- 1 level tablespoon is about 8 to 10, for a good size
wound, or burn
Mix this together for approximately 20secs and apply to a
grease free area of the skin. Putting a little Telesis on
the skin before this process will help to anchor the piece.
Or, it this can be done later for a solid bond.
Smooth the piece out using a little alcohol texture with
a sponge or cloth.
You can colour this with Illustrator if needed.
You have about 3 to 4mins to work.
Remove the silicone piece with Super Solve.
Using DavySil™ Thickener
If you have ordered any of the DavySil™ Thickener
this will make the pieces firmer. It is the ideal for boney
areas such as forehead, shins etc.
The Thickener is 1 or 2 drops to your mix.
Using DavySil™ Softener
If you have ordered any of the DavySil™ Softener this
will make the pieces very soft. It is the ideal for areas
such as neck and wrist with a lot of movement.
Softener is a few drops to a ¼ or ½ or 1 to
1 and over of your mix.
You do not need to worry about mixing time when adding the
Softener or Thickener. Only the setting agent will cure the
DavySil™ silicone.
Top Tips
- Don’t use latex wedges or gloves. DavySil™
does not like any of these materials.
- Hot weather will set it faster so add slightly less setting
agent.
- If the DavySil™ is cool you have a little more
working time.
