Making a painting sponge for painting silicone baby dolls

Anybody who has painted vinyl reborn dolls will be traumatised to know that most of the wedge sponges used in reborning, are not suitable for using with silicone paints. Silicone paint is extremely sensitive to certain chemicals including tin, sulphur and latex, but even if you buy latex-free wedge sponges they very often still have a product inside them that inhibits the cure of platinum silicone (silicone baby dolls are usually made from, and painted in, platinum silicone) which means the painted surface will remain sticky and uncured and even if you manage to get it to cure by force curing it, the paint will simply peel right off. This video shows how to make a safe painting sponge that is platinum silicone based, and is perfectly safe for use for painting platinum silicone baby dolls - does not cause any inhibition problems with the sensitive platinum silicone paint (such as psycho paint) or with the surface of the baby. You will need a product sold by smooth-on (the same people who make psycho paint) called Soma Foama 15. www.siliconemagic.com
