CARP104 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) Has anyone actually made their own silicone skirts on here? I'm talking about pouring the silicone into a flat mold or rolling (flattening) it out? If anyone has had any success with this I would be highly interested in hearing your procedure. I want to make my own colored skirts rather than buying premade strands from a retailer. Edited January 11, 2011 by CARP104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am referring to the silicone skirts commonly used on jigs. I want to actually make the silicone sheets myself and cut it into strands. If anyone has any experience with this please chime in.

bass100 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I am not an expert by any means but I was told that the silicone skirts are pressed and vulcanized when made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
