Foam Latex?
« Thread started on: Jan 24th, 2009, 11:03am »
I'm sorta learning about all this stuff so bear with me!
I bought a bottle of liquid latex from this website about 7 months ago along with flesh colored greasepaint and assorted other things. I mainly used the latex (and cottonballs) to create face disfigurements. Now it took me some time but i realized that once it dries its has very little or no flexibility and i made the mistake of connecting the upper and lower lip disfigurements together, the result i could hardly open my mouth. The next time i tried this i did not attach the lip disfigurements and i could reasonably open my mouth although it felt like it might come off if i smiled (which is problem for me). That day i had the latex on for about 7 hours and it held up pretty well. (i did need to spirit gum the edge of the lips a couple times.
So i heard the foam latex is extremely flexible and moves with the face. My question now.. does this work in the same way as the liquid latex where u simply apply to the face? Or is this something only used for if u already have molds and such. If that is the case i will buy more liquid latex but i was searching for a solution for a more comfortable alternative that could be more flexible. Any advice?
