This silicone oil "fluid" with a content of 100 ml is suitable for diluting silicone to achieve a certain consistency necessary for a specific impression. This makes the silicone more flowable. The molding of models with very fine structures is thus simplified.
Likewise, the silicone oil is a great tool for the new trend topic of pouring. The oil produces the so-called cells / color cells. This makes the cells more stable and gives them a sharper separation from the surrounding colors.
As a rule, 3 drops of silicone oil to 100 ml of finished mixture of paint and Pouring Medium are sufficient.In Pouring, the Pouring Medium, silicone oil and acrylic paint are processed in a new technique and applied to a stretcher.
There are different methods of pouring such as:
Puddle Pouring - here you pour the individual colors one after the other, one above the other into the center of the stretcher.
Dirty Pouring - Layers of colors in a cup and then pour.
Flip Cup - layering the colors in the cup and then flipping the cup out over the stretcher.
Then the stretcher is swung back and forth until the color has run. Depending on the composition and mixing ratio, the colors run together more or less uncontrollably and form spectacularly bizarre results during the drying process. Each of these methods has its own special charm.
Try and combine the different techniques with each other. Discover a new creativity with this versatile technique. The casting medium and the silicone oil are a crucial component for successful pouring.Let yourself be enchanted, get creative and see how the colors come to life.
