Tutorial using silicone in embossing folders, coloring technique and comparing silicone embossed sheets to resin embossed sheets.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PRACTICE ON AN OLD FOLDER FIRST. If you let the silicone fully cure inside the folder the whole piece releases itself as it is pulled away from the folder. The folders are non-stick surface so specks of silicone can easily be rubbed off. If you don’t let the resin fully cure some silicone can get stuck inside the crevices and you would need to use something sharp to get it out sort of like using a piercing tool to get small die cut pieces out of a die. I’ve had really good results when I’ve let the resin fully cure but I have one folder I had to use the piercing tool because I peeled back the silicone too soon. You may find that some folders work better than other so don’t be afraid of trial and error.
