So, I am working with dragonskin 10 from smoothon, making a suit.
I seem to be having problems with adhesion between layers of silicone, as in it pretty much pulls appart under any stress. I tried cleaning with just naptha, and when that didn't work I tried naptha>denatured alcohol>acetone to clean it up, with only slightly more luck.
If I were using something else, I would try and rough up the surface, but silicone isn't easy to rough up.
I don't think its cure inhibition, as it hardens normally, it just doesn't adhere to the layer below very well. The only idea I have left is completely coating the piece in another full layer so the layers beneath are completely encapsulated.
Any help would be wonderful :cry
