Sticky pads or silicone?

Which is the best for you, which do you recommend, and why?

hard to choose but it had to be silicone, even tried the pinflair but still silicone,
just more control, more realistic results on decoupage,

Had to be sticky pads because they are less messy. Must admit though that silicone can look better when done well.

I went for pads because I always use them. I have a tube of silicone, so must give it a go. Smell has put me off before now though

depends, if im out then i use sticky pads, but if crafting at home have been known to use silicone glue

I like both. I prefer silicone for decoupage if I have time to let it dry between layers. If I'm putting a raised topper or mount then I use pads.

I've added another category for the both peeps

For a silicone virgin, what sort of drying time are we looking at

I usually do mine on a night time ready for the morning

ideally overnight if your posting it, but it's dry enough to put another layer on top after bout 20 min if careful.
the pinflair stuff dries faster but found it did show through thin paper.

sorry i wasn't very clear....

i cut first and 2nd layer glue them then while waiting for glue to set slightly cut out next layer and then add.

i usually do all my toppers first in one night then when fully set the next day add to cards etc..

I'm going to grab a tube for the w/end... OK... can't resist it.... a little something for the w/end sir...

Let you know how I get on with it

Def sticky pads, I hate the smell of silicone, it makes me go weird and it makes my daughter, who's asthmatic, wheeze.

I use both but get stuck up with silicone, I agree it smells awfull.
