Silicone Material.....lightening the color.

[WidowMaker]

Has anyone ever attempted to lighten the color of silicone skirt materials?

Don't know, but I'd like to know if anyone knows how to pour this stuff. Skirting material is one of my biggest expenses, I could save cash after the initial investment of setting up my own way to pour skirt material.

Ill imagine it is an expensive process. You would probably have to buy clear silicone in bulk liquid form and use some type of roller to form it into sheets then you would have to build a jig to cut it with.

I wonder if you could buy clear siliocone in tubes and add worm dye pigment and press it between two layers of wax paper using a flat aluminum stock.

I thought that might be the process, however, you could also pour it into a machined alluminum block that is cut to the depth, length, and width, pour it, and "blade" off the over pour, however, taking into consideration that there would be an entirely different process in actually pressing the stuff so it reacts properly when you cut it, that's a different animal all together, oh well, I'll just keep buying the stuff.
