Hello,

I’m working on a project that should resemble lifting a large drawing from a sheet of paper — once lifted, it becomes a flexible, loose drawing made of black lines. I’m trying different materials and would like to experiment with silicone, specifically a matte black finish.
Do you know how I could obtain or make matte black silicone? Would you handle silicone with bare hands? If I could laser-cut silicone sheets and glue parts together, would you recommend any particular glue or system to glue them? I need the work to last over time.
Thank you! I hope it doesn’t sound too confusing

Thank you!
