    Just don't pull it too early. Whatever the curing time is, give it that much time - a little bit more if it's cold or wet out as that can mean it'll take longer to cure

    I've decided to leave it overnight. It was really warm earlier today now it's cooled and is raining!

    From what I learned about silicone that sounds like a good idea.

    Tami's first attempt at a silicone top.....

    It worked!!!!


    Now I just need to clean my silicone sheet. I'm assuming I can use soap and water right?
    Here is a better picture of the color and sparkles.

    Okay, get a grip, get the hang of this flipper,
    It's like slipping two feet into one big huge slipper.
    I can't believe I can do this and more,
    To swim in the sea like I walk on the shore.
    Out of my shell not closed up like a clam,
    Look out sea, this is me, here I am....

    My scale sheet is super thick at the bottom, it's really heavy too. Not sure how on earth I'll wear it as a top! Also do to making my sheet first and buying the bra second, I think my sheet is going to be a little to small. Ah well forging ahead LOL we'll see what happens. Maybe I cad add some greenery or something.

    Damn, that's way thick! Maybe you can shave off some of the silicone from the back?

    That's what I'm thinking. The top section is much thinner! I was worried it would be really thin lol

    What about a hot foam carving knife to pare down the silicone on the bottom, can you use that on sillicone???

    Even more bad news, lithe Scale sheet didn't stick to the bra. Grrrrr I tried using silicone caulking since I ran out of Dragonskin but it just peeled off the scale sheet. Stuck to the bra great though.
