finlander Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 The 100% Dow that I used last year came out like taffy...very tough to stir in the water. How do you thin it?? Warm it?? Jerry- talked with Noel today and ordered that plastic paint kit. Seems he has sent it out to several individuals, over some time though. Quite a story teller. A former Michigander too. Didn't want me to send him any of our sn*w and 19 degree weather to Florida. Can't wait to start this project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 I have done the silicon mold and used the cheepest silicon I could find. It never for like a maple syrup or white syrup for thickness. But it did get to be more smooth as far as a texture goes. Does that help?

You can use it straight out of the tube (no water) but you can only do 1/4 inch layers at a time. Ive seen a thinner for silicone but the cost will make it higher than RTV, so if you want a thinner viscosity your best bet is to bite the bullet & buy some RTV. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
