Sorry guys it is a long one, grab a drink, pull up a chair & maybe some popcorn. Liquid Latex – It is not an adhesive but, can be used temporarily . Used on skin for fx creating old age, cut, burns, wounds, zombie skin, buildups & out of kit makeups. It can be colored with cosmetic great pigments but, hard to do if not use to. Color will always be pastel in color till dried then they will be the true colors. People can have allergies to it so ALWAYS do patch test. If it gets in hair even hair you don’t realize it there it will rip it out. If it gets into clothing, they are goners. ALL Latex sticks to it’s self & needs to be powdered so it don’t wreak all the work you have done. Doesn't stretch well when it is too thick. Latex Paste: for making prosthetic, mask, build ups covering edges or big gaps on not so great plastic prosthesis. Need a while to dry if thick.
