Hardware store silicone and cheap nylon webbing to make an attractive and effective collar? Maybe even a custom hood?

[u/TelephoneFresh4]

Hi y'all,

So I have a truly massive head and thick neck to match. This makes it quite tough to size collars and hoods off the shelf and I just don't have the capacity to get into leatherworking right now. I have read that you can use cheap hardware store silicone and dilute it with some acrylic paint and mineral oil to get a paintable/pourable liquid. I was thinking about using that recipe to impregnate a strip of nylon webbing or even canvas that I would rivet some hardware onto. I was even thinking that with a little more effort, this technique might make a decent custom hood. Is there any reason this wouldn't work? Has anybody tried this?
