Can you add to silicone after it cures?

Question

I am planning on making a full size realistic doll for art (modeling poses). I have a built in skeletal structure and I am going to custom make muscles out of silicone. I was wondering, before I get my hands dirty, can I add to a silicon product after it cures? Like If I was making a nose and it needed to be bigger, can I just add more silicone after it had already cured or do I have to start from scratch?

Answer 1

All the products react differently



As long as there is no grease to provide a barrier there is a good chance of a bond



Try a test

Take a bit of left over silicone an put it out to cure

Later on try adding some to your test



I'm sorry some times the best answer is to do a test

Another answer is to contact the manufacturer

You do not give a brand name in the question



For some processes materials are built up in layers letting the earlier layers cure to the touch like a brush on mold

Answer 2

god knows.... try praying and asking him.
