Still on the road...

I have received my acrylic sheet so I'm running some tests about the silicone rubber...

A french guy on the NUI forum try to use a silicone caulk in order to have a cheap silicone rubber. I'm on it and I'm experiencing some troubles because toluene is a necessary component and I don't have it. I'll try to get some asap.

I also tried to use a really thin sheet of plastic and put some water between it and the acrylic sheet. The result is pretty good, I see no big difference between this setup and the silicone caulk, but I didn't dilute the caulk with toluene, maybe that's the reason why there is no difference. Anyway, there is a video here.

The blobs aren't good because the sides of my acrylic sheet are almost opaque.

Btw, I must finish another project this week so I won't post a message before next week.
