Ok, screwing around the other night, I tested out silicone caulk as a molding material. Worked pretty good for me. Putting the acrylic paint away, an insane idea struck me. I mixed up another small batch, and applied it to the latex glove I was wearing. After it dried, (was pretty sloppy, a test) it came out pretty good. Flexible, yet strong enough for me. Then I laid it out on a sheet of plastic, and spread it out. I have this flat sheet of silicone. Now, I was wondering, is there any way to MOLD silicone? I was thinking of using it to detail my Emile reach undersuit. I thought if I cut the layers, I could make simple details. But how about more complicated stuff? This is a too-up between soft armor and molding, but it's molding specific, so hey, what the heck. I know I couldn't make an entire undersuit from it, but layering it on top of long-johns or something? Just an idea... and for some reason, I find this stuff really cool!
