Tin Thix is a liquid thickener designed for mixing into condensation cure liquid rubbers to create a creamy, thixotropic consistency for turning pourable rubbers into brushable systems. Varying levels can be added to create a light gel up to a thicker silicone rubber paste.
A few drops of Tin Thix in a cup size mix gives a nice face coat consistency. Experiment to determine your desired levels. While this product is designed for use with tin/condensation cure systems it does also work very well in some Platinum/addition cure systems including the PlatSil Gel 10 and 25. That’s not to say it will work in ALL platinum systems and you should do a test for yourself. The advantage is that the Tin thix is more potent than the Plat Thix which appears to take far more product to get a thickening effect.
Ultimately we do not recommend using this product for Platinum systems but its certabily a product hack that is popular amongst mould makers.
