How do I... Cut into a silicone bust and put in eyes? Bust painting 101?

[houdiniguy]

Hello,
I have a silicone bust and want to ver so carefully cut
slits (use new exato blades I assume) smaller than needed
and thin out the back of eyes to eyeballs come close to front
of face, then tape from back?

What kind of glue and "where do I glue them in or how?

Special project and I've never done this.

Looks easy enough, that what scares me.

also, is there a tutorial for my fiance, a real world "How to"
paint resin busts so they look real to read up on?

We have such talent here, howard, Bob, Steve, Bjourn, etc...
They look alive!

My fiance has true talent and says she can do it.
I want to give her a bust (she has anice one by the way... hehehe)
to was clean, then...

What kind of brushes to use? What brand of paint to prime, how to...
What specific colors for fleah tones etc.

I do believe she has the talent without question.
Any help. Steve sent me some stuff a while back and computer crash etc.

Buler?? ;-)

Best Regards
Tom

you might try to use those small curved grooming scissors. They make cutting out curves alot cleaner. They are in the makeup/grooming isle at your local WalMart.

Make sure you use 'Scotch' tape, it has a special adhesive that works great with silicone

You can also glue silicone with silicone. For example that you take for your bathroom. Some superglues also work. For example pattex "blitzkleber" flexible. I´m sure there´s something equal to this in the US.
