So I’ve been playing around with flowable while waiting for my sticker maker…  
I was wondering if plastidip and flowable would mix well? Flowable alone is a little too soft imo, looking to make a more durable pad that still feels like silicone. I know about baz pads, but I’m looking to make a pad that is a sort of middle ground between baz pads and silicone

Thanks

If I had to guess id say they won’t mix well

My question still stands ☹  
I can’t seem to get any info on what plastidip is composed of.

I don’t know how well the silicone would work mixed with Plasti-Dip. The best knowledge comes from experience. Just do it and find out. Both are easily attainable.
