Hey!
I'm making it a mission to give my tail a much needed upgrade! The paint on the fluke has almost completely chipped off and the neoprene doesn't fit that well in the water... I had a couple ideas but I'm not sure how to go about it.:confused:
I thought that could paint it and then seal it over with silicone. Would that work? I also don't know much about how to cure it or anything. My other thought was sequins though it would be a VERY long process
what's a mer to do?!:headdesk:

If your tail was made with latex, silicone will NOT cure.

I like the sequins route.

that's what I was thinking as well. I'm not sure how I'll get them to stay and not loose color... hmmm I am most likely gonna go with E6000 to make them stay. I might also add it on top to give it that constant "wet" look. IDK
