Hi,
Been searching the site's archives and internet to find some answers and thought it would be best to ask some questions myself on here. I've only done 2 small projects myself (a Borderlands Psycho mask and Krieg's mask) and modeled them using some cheap Plasticine (sulfur free), a silicone molding agent called CloneFX which is fairly thick to use but doesn't need a release agent, and a pretty good polyurethane resin called EasyCast for the final cast. The only issues that I've had with these products was that the CloneFX has a tendency of creating bubbles and not capturing some of the fine details of model, resulting in bubbles appearing in the final cast, and I really want to avoid this for any future projects that may have more detail.
My question is if I were to buy another thinner silicone molding agent, namely one called Pinkysil (which in several reviews captures small details very well), could I;
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

- Brush on the Pinkysil as a detail coat and when it cures brush the CloneFX over that to make 1 silicone jacket (and if I do this, anyone know if they would every stick together?)
- Just use the CloneFX in very small batches and gradually make my silicone jacket with that, and risk the bubbles forming?
- Or should I just buy a thickening agent and use the Pinkysil only, doing a detail coat and brush several thicker coats over that?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.
