Cleaning your tools when making a silicone tail

[Mermaid Lieke]

Hi Everyone,

I'm working on my dragon skin tail, it's been a great process, but I can't seem to get anything I use really clean afterwards. I tried a few things, but I'm also afraid to clog my pipes.

Right now I'm just wiping everything with paper towels, but it's so environmentally unfriendly, so I'd love to hear your top tips,
Thanks!

If you're talking about silicone on the tools, letting it cure and peeling it off is easiest. I find baby wipes are amazing for cleaning any uncured stuff from tools and hands (works better than soap and water!) although you do go through a lot of them.

Thank you, baby wipes are amazing!

I just dry-wipe with paper towels if you get unmixed silicone on things.

Hi! I use 99% proof alcohol in a spray bottle. I spray in on my work surface and use a shop towel to wipe off. I purchased the bottle at an electronic store.
