is there anything to make 100% silicone set up faster than it normally does? I have a small molding project and am out of my GI 1100 stuff? Any help appreciated
Thanks
Joe

I have used a tip that was on here a while back, use dawn dish soap and water mix to help shape the mold, this allowa you to work the silicone with out it sticking  and then use a few drops of acrylic craft paint( a vivid color helps you see the mixing job, i use a neon green), mixed with the silicone will speed the set up time. hope this helps paul

JKNUTH did an excellent tutorial that would help you out.  Go to the tutorial section and type in "molding a rock" it should be the first choice.  He explains it and has lots of pictures.  Hope this helps.
