Cleaning the uncured.

So if you have been reading, I had a problem with my rubber. Latex and Rebound 25 don’t mix.

Onward!

I went to home depot and bought some stuff.

I decided to start my cleaning last night and I will probably continue it tonight.

Pics!

Blue Shop paper towels, Measureing cups/bucket, 3 wooden stir sticks and Acetone!

Safety first!

Test run of acetone on the clay and rubber. I think this is the original color. I have high hopes for this process.

Possible hope.

So after looking at the booklet that came with the smooth-on material, I read that the the rubber can be removed with acetone if it is uncured.
I went to Target today and picked up some vinyl gloves and decided to do the touch test on the rubber that I have. My Rebound 25 is a failure :C

I am including a gallery of the what I did leading up to adding my first layer and what I did in order to do the touch test.

My next post will be after I try and wipe off some of the uncured rubber with acetone and see how clay reacts to it. This is all an experiment, but hopefully I come up with something useful at the end!

These are the cups that I was using. Note: They are super flimsy, I will be going out to buy actual measuring cups. The latex gloves are never going to be used in my garage anymore for anything. And I will be buying wooden paint stirs

Don’t use latex gloves. Do not even keep them in the same room as Rebound 25.

The touch test. It is not cured and will have to be removed some how.
