How to use:

Collectors on finished dolls: Use Silicone Velvet to make baby feel like silk and protect the surface paint for longer.

To achieve velvety soft skin that is not only ultra real to touch and look at, but also helps clothes glide on and prevent friction that will damage your doll, regular use of silicone velvet will safely and purely protect you precious doll. Use on a clean dry doll with a (latex free) powder puff or small powder brush to gently work the powder into the doll's skin. Use a large powder brush to dust off any excess.

**If your doll is peeling, using any kind of powder will emphasis the peeling but will not make the peeling any worse. Consider a rematting service to fix this problem.

The powder is fully certified as safe on your own skin too, but like any powder, you should avoid inhaling due to the particle size.

ARTISTS: 2 WAYS TO USE

For best long-lasting results: Ensure baby is clean and free of oils. Wipe down with a silicone friendly solvent (NOVOCS is recommended) and then apply a very thin (clear) layer of your preferred silicone paint system. Apply the powder using an atomiser spray, sifter shaker or powder brush before the silicone starts to kick (cure). After silicone has fully cured, dust of excess with a powder brush - don't rinse (unless you want to) - the excess powder makes for a fabulous feel. (Users tip: Keep a little of the silicone paint mix in your palette to touch and observe to see how the curing is progressing rather than touching your artwork)

Quick touch up: Ensure baby is clean and free of oils. Wipe down with a silicone friendly solvent (NOVOCS is recommended). Allow solvent to evaporate. Apply the powder in firm circular motion to work into the silicone using a small medium firm brush. No need to wait - dust of excess with a powder brush - no need to rinse.
