Any brand is very similar i assume. It is just normal silicone chaulk,
which comes in a big "syringe". You should have that tool which presses
the plunger, but i guess for paper coating you could do without.
I only tried with acid curing, and it worked great, but someone mentioned
the acid that is produced during curing might harm the printer. So i
bought neutral curing at the DIY store a few days ago, chose grey variey
so it is well visible on paper and also the black toner on it is well
visible. It costs about 5eur, a bit more than acid curing one at ~3eur.
310ml that is i think, you can coat a huge amount of paper with that.
The whole point is this silicone has a slightly tacky surface (you can't
slide anything over it), as opposed to papers for baking or label backing
which have a very slick surface. This allows the toner to stay in place,
but allows it to come off easily too.
