This is a guide for artists who are matting (or rematting) a silicone baby doll. For collectors wanting to powder a finished baby – see “doll Care”.

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 allow it to evaporate off. This step helps to ensure tat you dont get peeling later as it takes away any leeched silicone oils or oils fro your skin as well as dirt. Once it is dry – 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). Be careful not to end up with pools of clear paint in creases or deep areas.

After silicone has fully cured, dust of excess with a powder brush – rinsing isnt necessary but it does help to reveal any missed spots. (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). Once you are happy – apply an additional light dusting of silicone velvet with a powder brush to give the silkiest feel ready to be dressed and sent home.

Quick touch up: Ensure baby is clean and free of oils and lay the doll on a lint free surface such as tissue paper or plastic wrap. Wipe down with a silicone friendly solvent (NOVOCS or Isopropyl alcohol are recommended). Allow a few minutes for the solvent to evaporate. Apply the powder in firm circular motion to work into the silicone using a small medium firm brush (makeup foundation brushes work really well and as they are soft but firm). No need to wait – dust of excess with a powder brush – do not rinse using this method.

LIP CARE 

Silicone Velvet Care Liquid has been specially developed for use with silicone dolls to help pacifiers, dummies, and bottle teats glide smoothly into the doll's mouth. By reducing friction and rubbing against the lips, it helps minimise the risk of peeling, wear, and tearing of the delicate silicone.

Our unique water-based formula has been carefully designed to be 100% safe for all types of silicone dolls. Unlike many store-bought lubricants intended for human skin, Silicone Velvet Care Liquid will not leave behind a sticky or greasy residue. Should any build-up occur after extended use, it can be safely and easily removed using a cotton bud (Q-Tip) lightly dampened with water.

Important: Never use silicone-based lubricants, petroleum jelly, or other oil-based products on your silicone doll, as these can cause damage to the silicone. Silicone Velvet Care Liquid contains no silicone oils, alcohol, or harsh ingredients, making it a safe choice for your precious doll.

Care Recommendations:

• Only use pacifiers and bottle teats that fit your doll correctly and do not overstretch the mouth opening.

• Avoid leaving pacifiers in place for extended periods, as this may cause the silicone to deform over time.

• Do not use pacifiers, bottles, or accessories with strong or dark colours, as colour transfer to the silicone can occur.

With regular use, Silicone Velvet Care Liquid helps protect your doll's delicate mouth area while making feeding and pacifier use easier and safer.

Silicone Velvet Care Liquid to protect the mouth from peeling & tearing.

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. The bottle/pacifier should now slide into the mouth smoothly. If it does not slide – apply a little more product. During regular use a little reside may result – this is totally safe however can be removed with pure water on a cotton bud (Qtip).

**Never use bottles or pacifiers that overstretch or do not fit the doll. We recommend that pacifiers are not left in for a long time to avoid deforming the silicone. Never use pacifiers or any item with strong colours in contact with your doll as colour transfer is always a risk.
