For those that have used or are comfortable using silicon sealant to fix or improve waterproof gear (tarps tents ponchos rucksacks etc)

I have found a pretty cool product, which I didn't think existed...

coloured silicon!

38 colours to be exact,
including green brown sand & black (the bushcrafters favourite colours!)
but they also have blues reds and various earthy grey and sand colours.

here is the colour chart:

yeah...possibly with a single letter change.

somehow I can't see silicon art taking off, no doubt some crazy artist has done it already.
