Hi there! totally AWESOME instructable - I'm in the process of purchasing the required elements to create a You killed Kenny Doorstop - but: would the silicone pigment be fine for tin or platinum cure rubbers? 0o i do not know much about Sugru, using it is still pretty new to me...



I've found the following silicone pigment samplers for purchase on the web... http://www.smooth-on.com/Silc-Pig%3D-Silico/c1190/index.html (but specifically http://www.smooth-on.com/images/silcpigpalletteforweb.jpg ).



i'm also considering buying some silk cord (something like http://www.gjropes.com/static/images/main/P3180016.jpg , but from a local retailer) and using the other color pigmentation on Sugru for when I make the doorstop, as I'd rather not use paint. :P



My question is: Would one of the above pigments be enough to stain the Sugru red? "You don't need much color" is not exactly too specific I'm afraid...



I am also considering using a rubber ball (8cm diameter) for Kenny's head, as well as getting hold of a block of foam rubber to mold the body and arms out of using a hot-wire cutter (the likelihood of someone stepping on the doorstop by accident is incredibly high where I'll be using it - this way it would be less likely to break - and make Kenny's clothes out of Sugru covered material!)... XD



You definitely got my vote for this one! :D
