Whether you are curious about how to get paint to stay on your silicone caulk or you simply want to paint a few interesting designs on a simple prosthetic made of silicone rubber, the process for painting silicone rubber is, for the most part, the same idea either way. However, silicone rubber is notorious for not letting paint stick to it too well, which means that a few methods of preparation must first be employed so that the paint is encouraged to adhere to the silicone rubber. These techniques must be followed if you want to apply your paint to your silicone rubber.
For this project, you will need some rags, blue painter’s tape, dish soap, a primer based on oil, an oil-based paintbrush of an inch to four, mineral spirits and craft brushes.
you can't paint silicon... however you can paint contact cement... clean silicone , paint with contact cement carefully ,paint contact cement with your paint, covering all contact cement
Absolutely not and you should use the same manufacturer of the paint you have on there also. Sorry you can only use a chlorinated rubber base paint on a rubber base paint. If you try to paint with the chlorinated rubber base on top of a synthetic rubber base paint it will probably peel like a bad sunburn.
Rubber wristbands are made by some substance called silicon or silicone that is placed into a molding space to shape it.
Any silicone based glue will bond to silicone rubber. -Aqua Seal, Seal All, Goop, Plumber's Goop, Gloozit, PL premium to name just a few that will work.
any elastomeric coating
You can find silicone rubber anywhere. A trip to your local hardware store will yield the best results. But amazon carries thousands of pounds of silicone rubber on their website.
They are made out of silicone rubber
To make things out of silicone rubber, you can start by mixing silicone rubber with a catalyst to create a moldable material. Then, pour or shape the silicone rubber into the desired shape and allow it to cure or set. You can also use molds to create specific shapes. Once the silicone rubber has hardened, you can remove it from the mold and use it for various applications such as creating molds, seals, or custom parts.
Homemade silicone rubber is made by melting silicone until it turns into rubber form. Professionally, there are several ways to produce silicone rubber, most are a mixture of silicone, oxygen, carbon and hydrogen.
Most plastic wristbands are created out of silicone rubber in factories, most of which are in Asia. Silicone rubber is placed into a mold, and solidifies. The mold would have the proper design which would then be passed on to the silicone rubber.
"Rubber wristbands are commonly made from silicone-a durable synthetic resin. Silicone is rubber-like but unlike rubber, valued for being heat-resistant and latex-free."

They are made of Silicone rubber.
Silicone and rubber are often used interchangeably. They have a similar chemical makeup, but technically silicone is a "rubber-like" material. Natural rubber is a substance that comes from trees, so technically silicone bracelets are a "man made" form of rubber and don't have true rubber in them. I guess it just depends on how technical you want to get. You can check out Wikipedia for some details or talk to an expert who manufactures them, like MonkeyBands.com.
Try a silicone adhesive, such as Devcon. This adhered well to a %100 soft silicone rubber part I needed to glue onto some insoles.
Typically "silicone" refers to silicone rubber which is not particularly good at absorbing moisture. In that respect, it is much like regular rubber.
