Created by Neill Gorton this lifelike colour system comprises highly concentrated silicone pigments in custom colours that go a very long way. They will save you both time and money and help maintain perfect continuity across colour batches.
Additives
Add Plat Thix to PlatSil® 71, 73 and Gel 10 Series products to create a consistency useful for making brushed moulds or for layering in the case of PlatSil® Gel 10 skins or appliances.
Additives
Use PlatSil Deadener LV (Low-Viscosity) to soften, or “deaden”, PlatSil Gels without oil leaching. It is used to simulate the look and feel of skin or human tissue for silicone gel filled appliances and special effects.
Additives
First there was Deadener which, when added to Platsil Gel 10, made it softer by degrees. Now Platsil Part H Hardener does exactly what it says on the tin and increases the hardness of Platsil Gel 25 as more is added.
Additives
PlatSil Retarder 71 & 73 R can be used with all Platinum based silicone liquid rubbers to slow the cure and yield a longer working time.
Additives
Poly Fibre II is a thickening product designed for use with polyurethane plastics and rubbers but that I also use, very successfully, in silicones. Great for creating brush on snap moulds with platinum silicones such as Platsil Gel 10 / 25 and Transil 20.
Additives
Silicone oil has a variety of uses including; A softener for silicone rubbers. Oil will both the reduce the viscosity of the rubber as well as soften it. Unlike deadener, silicone oil does not cross link with the silicone.
Additives
Neill's Materials Silicone Pigments are great for adding colour to silicone products. They are highly concentrated and a drop of pigment goes a long way, making these pigments economical to use.
Additives
Smiths Prosthetic Deadener is the original and best for creating super soft gel appliances. By varying the ratio of deadener added to Platsil Gel 10 A&B combined you can vary the softness.
Additives
Tin Thix is a liquid thickener designed for mixing into condensation cure liquid rubbers to create a creamy, thixotropic consistency for turning pourable rubbers into brushable systems. Varying levels can be added to create a light gel up to a thicker silicone rubber paste.
Additives
Use TinSil Fast Cat in place of any TinSil Part A in order to accelerate cure and shorten demold time. Often used for reducing time needed between coats when TinSil rubbers are used to make brush-on blanket molds.
