First of all, HI EVERYONE!!!!!
I'm Mermaid Fawkes, to those of you who know me. Good to see you again...talk to you...type to you...whatever, you know what i mean:p.
To those of you who don't...HI I'M FAWKES AND I LIKE WAFFLES AND SHINY THINGS!:lol: ALOHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Ok, so I'm pretty sure someone has asked these questions before, but I'm a complete n00b to message boards, so i can't figure out how to search for them... so here goes.
I have a neoprene fin, painted already, I need to figure out HOW to get the silicone on the neoprene, mermaid parties status, (its whatever kind of silicone Moonflower uses, comes in a culking tube i think)
Then create the illusion of scales into the silicone. (press something into it? what is a good thing to use? ect?) I am not a huge fan of mermaid parties small scales, (they look lovely, its just personal preferance) I'd like something a little larger then a quarter.
Also, what's the best way to do this to a fin that is already sewn together (does that even matter?)
And once the silicone is on the neoprene, about how much stretch will I lose? Just after painting it I have noticed a considerable amount of stretch has been lost to the neoprene.
...i have more questions but these are good for right now
@Merman Jesse, & Sirena Solaris, its the same blue one that Moonflower whipped together for me that I wore at Rainbow Spring, wait till you see it! What a difference paint makes, eh? Let me know if you guys want progress pics.
Thank you everyone!
