Nice! Yeah just let it cure at this point and if it’s not grippy enough, you can just do another layer on top with less of a recess. ---

Nice yeah it is and you’ll get better w practice. I use a baby food syringe bc it’s easier for me and helps not waste any but some ppl are good enough at it they go just straight out the tube so w/e works. I also think it’s easier to use the corner of a card like a credit card or something like that or guitar pick to get the recess vs fingers but whatever works is good too. ---

I tested it. It’s nice and unresponsive. But the binds snap almost too good. I’ll update with pictures tomorrow. Then I’m going to do a better recess to try and fix the bind “issue”. Just too tight for me. This little confusion is awesome ---

Did you use water like in the Dylan kowalski video? Also did you wait the full cure time? Also it takes a second to smooth out the fresh sili so if it’s more responsive then you thought make sure to play it for a while. I had that happen when I used water like Dylan kowalski said in his silicone tutorial but haven’t since then. The dirty string thing ---

I used water on the first half but didn’t like the texture it left behind. I waited about 20 hours. Gonna redue it with black again before I try the clear. It works great just getting on the string. I’ll update latter ---
