Preventing Mouth Damage with Silicone Velvet™ Care Liquid™
Even top silicone artists report that repeated use of pacifiers/dummies or feeding bottles can cause the mouth paint to peel or split. Silicone Velvet Care Liquid™ is applied to the mouth or the bottle to prevent this damaging friction. The liquid is specially developed and tested to avoid the sticky residue that happens with lubricants designed for human skin. (Never use silicone based lubricants or petroleum jelly on your doll as serious damage could occur – only use products approved for use on silicone dolls)

Apply a small amount of the liquid to the teat of an appropriate sized pacifier or bottle and smooth it over the surface with your finger.

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.
