while in silicon skin you cant do that.


yes silicon is more durable but the protection of your cell phone is more important. so go for the plastic case.Mobile phone silicone skins or clear plastic case? whats best?

  • Clear RTV silicone based sealant and spanish cedar.?

    I, thinking it would improve the humidity in my humidor used RTV sealant in the joints of the box, I wasn't necessarily neat about it either. This was some time ago, the interior is spanish cedar which is generally used for the interiors but the sealant is still sticky in nature and the cigar wrapper's were and still would stick to it. I realize I am an idiot for doing this now, is there a way to save this box, I've been using it for jewelery since I did this but want to revive it for cigars again if possible?Clear RTV silicone based sealant and spanish cedar.?

    How can i colour clear liquid silicone?

    gray, red, yellow,How can i colour clear liquid silicone?
    get a sample of the colour your looking for and mix it with thinners and then with the silacon paintshops do mixers dont get one of them there for gallons of paint at a time and theyl try fob you off with oneHow can i colour clear liquid silicone?
    you can buy it in different colors. that would be much easier, and maybe cheaper than successfully coloring it. depends on what you're using it for really.


    in the auto parts store they have several colors silicone available for weatherproofing to match car colors
    In the jewelry business when we have to repair enameled jewelry...we mix powdered pastel chalk in epoxy to fill in chipped areas ...the same should work for silicone.

    Which is better... silicone skin case or hard crystal clear case for your cellphone?

    I have a Sony Ericsson W800 phone. I'm planning to buy a case for it to protect from scratches. I saw several cases on eBay but I'm trying to decide which one is better for my cellphone... silicone skin case or hard crystal clear case. Let me know which case you prefer. If you have one, tell me how it feels with the case in your phone. Thanks!Which is better... silicone skin case or hard crystal clear case for your cellphone?
    I would Prefer Crystal hard case ,as you see silicone case does not protects the phone LCD,also it will make your keypad very hard to press,but silicon casing its smooth and nice to touch,also comes in different attractive colours,whats more?, it provides some antishock protection,jus incase you drop it....as for crystal hard case it protects almost fully your phone,little dust will get in,99%Scratch protection,is is classy and smooth,it is also easy to press the keypad but it provides little antishock proctectionWhich is better... silicone skin case or hard crystal clear case for your cellphone?
    I am currently using the Sony Ericsson K610i and also using both casings in turns. About the crystal clear case, it fully protects our phone, the screen the camera but not the keypads and also it tends to make my phone look bulky and also too large for my leather carrying case. And as for the silicon skin its better cause it gives antishock protection for our phone and it also fits into my leather case. But that all depends on where you're taking your phone to. So you have to decide yourself

    IPod cover - Silicone or Clear Hard Plastic?

    Which do you find better? I currently have a silicone one but not sure if I should switch to a hard plastic one. Also my silicone one doesnt protect my screen.IPod cover - Silicone or Clear Hard Plastic?
    I think you should go with the Silicone. The hard plastic doesn't really protect the ipod for impact. If you drop an ipod with a silicone cover, the rubber would actually cusioh the fall. Get one of those clear plastic screen protectors to keep the screen looking fresh. Prevents glare tooIPod cover - Silicone or Clear Hard Plastic?
    I never had a hard plastic one, I used silicone ones before, but now I don't use them anymore I think it's better without any cases.
    try out the hard plastic one and see how it works out for you

    Can I use clear silicone intead of plumbers putty?

    I am replacing an exisitng kitchen faucet. The instructions for my Glacier Bay faucet say to use a bead of plumbers putty around the inside bottom edge of the deck plate. I am assuming this is to keep water and gunk from getting between the faucet plate and the sink. I do not have any or know what it is. Can I just use clear silicone? It comes in a big tube like caulk.Can I use clear silicone intead of plumbers putty?
    my gawd the answers here... sheesh...





    yes you can use ';Silicone';. it is recommended to use silicone on marble otherwise the oils from the putty will ';stain'; the marble so using it on your kitchen faucet is fine.


    the others here are confusing it with ';Caulking Material';. you SHOULD NOT use that.





    plumbers putty will have more surface area sealed unless you pack the body of the facet with the silicone but it's messy to use.Can I use clear silicone intead of plumbers putty?
    No. It is important that you use plumbers' putty. It will form a watertight seal around the fitting, but when you need to replace the fixture you will be able to. If you use a silicone or caulk-like material it will be bonded together permanently, and you will not be able to remove the fixture in the future.
    You really should use plumbers putty. Once silicone sets, the faucets are there pretty much permanently and if you need to service them , you will then have a problem. Plumbers putty is inexpensive,easy to use and easy to find at any hardware store, just ask for it.
    as long as its mildew resistant sure. it will work better than the putty. also fill the chrome or what ever finish the faucet is fill the sprayer escutching full underside when you put it on the sink .this is the place the water get in or under the most.

    tom
    you sure it says use putty? that's usually for the drain basket or maybe where the faucet goes thru the sink. there should be a rubber gasket between the faucet base and the sink top.











    .
    i'd get plumber's putty from lowe's or home depot. it's easy to get. it doesn't work the same way as silicone in that it doesn't have to set up.
    Yes you can use the silicone. Be sure to have some mineral spirits and a rag around to clean up any oozage.
    don't use caulk. you should always use plumber's putty

    Is it better to full wrap my dare with the clear film or just the screen and a silicone cover just got my dare?

    I got the silicone cover and Invisible Shield on just the screen, and that works great for me. The screen protector, and IS is supposedly the best, does take away a little from the touch screen, esp. the ability to fling things. The silicone cover can make it a little tougher to get it out of a tight jeans pocket. Just things to consider; all in all I'm quite happy.

    What's better to get for my iPod- a silicone case or a hard clear case?

    I prefer the hard case for the main reason,





    i dont want to risk breaking it if i drop it.

    Filled nail holes on flat interior paint w/clear 100% waterproof silicone caulk. Will caulk bleed thru?

    Interior flat paint being repainted by me, a total unprofessional. Filled the nail holes in with above mentioned caulk. Is this going to bleed thru? Is Kilz required? Or can I just paint flat paint right over it after it drys? Thanks.Filled nail holes on flat interior paint w/clear 100% waterproof silicone caulk. Will caulk bleed thru?
    100% silicone caulk its not paintable...dig it out a refill with Spackle or painters caulk!Filled nail holes on flat interior paint w/clear 100% waterproof silicone caulk. Will caulk bleed thru?
    you will notice the caulking exspecially since its silicone. to be honest you should not paint over silicone as the paint probably wont stick or if it does it will peel in a short time.
    peel it out and use either latex caulk or spackling - silicone is not paintable

    Which type of iPod case is better: silicone or clear acrylic?

    I recieved a black 30gig iPod for Christmas and it's starting to get some minor scratches. I want to buy a case for it to prevent it from getting scratched up any farther. I can't decide whether to get a silicone case or a clear acrylic. I want something that will allow access to the ports and buttons/switches, protect the screen, and keep out dust and stuff that will scratch the iPod even more. Which type of case do you suggest? And if you can suggest specific brands/models of cases, please do.Which type of iPod case is better: silicone or clear acrylic?
    I just bought an iSkin eVo3 for my 30 GB iPod and I highly recommend it. It's a little pricey at $34.95 but it's made of high-grade silicone with a hard plastic cover and offers excellent protection while still allowing accessibilty. It's definitely worth it! Here's the link to the Apple Store website if you want to check it out for yourself:


    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/We鈥?/a>Which type of iPod case is better: silicone or clear acrylic?
    A full acrylic case will just end up suffering the same problems as the acrylic face on your iPod (though it is cheaper to replace the case than the iPod). I suggest getting a clear adhesive screen cover and a pretty much any silicone sleeve. One benefit of silicone over acrylic is that it'll also act as a shock absorber if you happen to drop it.
    I think that the silicon one should be better.

  • How to remove silicone wax/sealant from clear coat ?

    Hello AlBdour... In the body shop before doing paint work we use a solvent called prep-sol.It's the same thing as charcoal lighter fluid.Just wet it down and scrub it with clean paper towels.I've found that Palmolive dish soap does a pretty good job,with some effort. Good luck,WildmannyHow to remove silicone wax/sealant from clear coat ?

    How to remove silicone wax/sealant from clear coat ?
    clay bar
    PPG used to have a product called ';prep sol'; this should work ,,, follow instructions on container
    Hit it with a large mallet.
    McGuiar's Cleaner will work. Clay is much more involved and can lead to bad results unless you know exactly what you are doing. Follow up the cleaner with McGuiar's Polish, then McGuiars Yellow Wax #28. A machine tool will help greatly, but if you have to, you can do it by hand.
    Try some Kleenz EZ from NAPA. It usually removes all bugs/wax/tar/etc. residue very well. Just be sure to reapply wax and polish afterward as your clearcoat will be completely exposed.

  • Am I right in thinking that clear silicone mastic is for interior use only?

    a year ago, a plumber used some to seal a hole in my tiled roof, now it is leakingAm I right in thinking that clear silicone mastic is for interior use only?
    It would depend on the mastic, some is external. The mastic is not a bad solution to the problem, but the tile would have needed priming ( a good surface to adhere to).





    ideally you should change the tile but if this is not an option you could try fibre glass. (glass fibre painted with resin - again the tiles need to be primed )Am I right in thinking that clear silicone mastic is for interior use only?
    It is a temporary leak fixer. Until the tile is replaced. Silicone does not know whether you live in a hot house or a refrigerator.

    Will a good clear silicone seal water leaks in my gutter seams?

    If so what silicone is the best all around?Will a good clear silicone seal water leaks in my gutter seams?
    After installing metal seam roofs and gutters, the company I work with uses a polyurethane caulking compound known as ';NP-1';. This material is engineered for 25 years, and remains pliable over its life span. You can get this material at any roofing supply company. It costs more than what you get at hardware stores, but it is worth the cost.Will a good clear silicone seal water leaks in my gutter seams?
    RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) silicones will do the job, and that is the type found in caulking tubes. These are made by GE, Dow and several major chemical companies. However, what you want to seal must be dry and thoroughly clean. Good prep is a must.





    Don't use ';siliconized acrylic'; caulk, it's not a silicone seal.





    Another product is the butyl rubber type. It sticks and seals well, but it is very difficult to use and clean up. Some hardwares might recommend it, I would avoid it.





    There are also some materials specifically made to seal metal flashings that are more of a professional roofing/guttering product. These are easy to use and very good, but not found in hardware stores. Check your phone book for a wholesale supply company selling guttering or roofing, and give them a call.
    Use a clear or white (whichever color they are)


    that is a 20 or 30 years caulk.
    use gutter caulking
    manufactureres rubber seals would be more reliable, sealants will dry out in time
    the seams will need to be really clean for it to work. it is best to seal the seams when putting the gutters together. best seal would be to buy gutter seal from a home or roofing supply house. it's extra thick and gooey and seems to bond better than silicone. good luck.

  • How do you clean stains from clear silicone baby bottle nipples and sippy cup tops ?

    Does anyone know how to clean the stains that get on the clear baby bottle nipples and sippy cup tops from the baby using them after eating the carrots and other staining foods? I have a few of these that are all orange now and I can't get them clean.How do you clean stains from clear silicone baby bottle nipples and sippy cup tops ?
    1 part vinegar to 5 parts water and soak them overnight.How do you clean stains from clear silicone baby bottle nipples and sippy cup tops ?
    There is a grrrrrreat product out called ';Plastic Booster'; and I think Cascade makes it. If you have a dishwasher, you put it in the little side cup next to the soap dispenser (or just squirt it on the door) and run a normal wash cycle. It gets all the stains out of our daughter's plasticware, even spaghetti sauce stained white plastic!
    I soak my sippys in bleach water every so often. Just a little bleach in a sink of water. When my daughter was on bottles we used to mix her VERY orange vitamins in them and it stained her nipples too. I did the bleach thing and also replaced them often. Take care adn I hope this helps. Mandy
    Try soaking them in two parts white vinegar / two parts water for about twenty minutes and then wash them like you normally do. You could also try just wiping them down with a clothe soaked in vinegar. Here is a website that is great. Vinegar is wonderful!

    i dont think there is a safe way so i would just go stock up and switch them out when it gets bad. but its just a stain, its not dirty so you could also continue to use them

    How do you remove cured clear silicone caulking from a fiberglass bathtub without damaging the tub?

    I have a red wine-colored fiberglass bathtub that I had to remove, then re-install. The problem is that the tub has a thick bead of clear silicone caulking that I need to remove from the tub before I can re-install it. Is there an easy way to do this without damaging the fiberglass?How do you remove cured clear silicone caulking from a fiberglass bathtub without damaging the tub?
    Use a plastic implement -- like a blunt knife or a spatula -- and lift one end of the caulking. Unless it is really old, it should peel off relatively easily. You should be able to rub off any bit and pieces that are left with a rough (but not abrasive) cloth. (Good luck with it!)How do you remove cured clear silicone caulking from a fiberglass bathtub without damaging the tub?
    Once you get it started, it should just pull off. Paint thinnner will break it down. When you recaulk with silicone, fill a cup with dishliquid and water, dipping your finger in it to spread and keep from sticking all over you.
    you can try goo gone its a citrus based cleaner please follow the instructions on the bottle

    Buy a cheap plastic putty knife. This will remove most of it without scratching. Use rubbing alcohol to remove the rest.

    How do you remove clear silicone caulking from painted window sash?

    Already tried scraping with razor. Will probably have to repaint, so using a solvent is a possibility?How do you remove clear silicone caulking from painted window sash?
    you really will have to repaint, or touch up where you peel it off. If it doesn't peel off you'll have to scrape it just like you're doing. You could follow right behind with a touch up brush if the older paint is still a fresh color and get the whole job done at once.How do you remove clear silicone caulking from painted window sash?
    Just wanted to point out that silicone is not paintable. Silicone also doesnt stick to glass all that well after it is fully cured. If it takes paint and is not scrapable then it probably isnt silicone. Home depot and lowes have a caulking remover that works well on latex. The only other type of clear I can think of is an elastomeric rubber that you will only remove by scraping there is no solvent for this type after it is fully cured.
    I would try mineral spirits first. If that doesn't work, I'd try turpentine. And if that doesn't work, I'd try acetone (nail polish remover). If none of these products work, you'll have to sand it off.
