Quit using hexane. Simply use what is instructed.Thelord001 wrote:It just wont cure completely. I have wiped off everything using hexane (that was a pain in the ***...) I have cleaned the area thorougly, added primer, and made a new batch of silicone which i have applied now. I used a spatula and iced the area like a cake and just used the brush a little in the end. This time i have done everything right and if it doesnt work now i give up. I must have got a bad primer or something if its still not working.

Thanks. The moderator can move this thread to the repairs section of the 4woods forum maybe? This thread might be helpful for others.ZebramDollImmortal wrote:What a informative post thank you for sharing.

After curing, wait some more time before handling your doll, changing pose. I recommend another 24 hours.

No acetone cannot be used to dilute silicone. It will make a huge mess only recommend cleaning with acetone before a repair is made.Nescio50 wrote:Curing time depends on what you are using. Sil-Poxy does have a very short curing time (5 minutes working time, 12 minutes curing time). If using Shin-Etsu 1RTV (this is often used for 4Woods dolls) the curing time is up to 24 hours. You may use hexane to dilute ShinEtsu 1RTV, it will soften the silicone. Just don't overdo it. Hexane may also be used to clean the silicone before doing a repair. Acetone is also used for cleansing. I don't know if acetone can be used to dilute/soften 1RTV silicone before applying.
