Liquid Latex
Do you guys know how to use liquid latex? Ive heard its really good for make up (cuts/lacerations/burns) and ive ordered a bottle. Ive looked into how to use it, but just want to know first hand opinions on the stuff.

RE: Liquid Latex

RE: Liquid Latex
i did make them on my arm originally, but you can peel them off after and re-use them. Theyre in the fridge at the moment setting fully. Once theyre done ill take some photos of them on body parts.

RE: Liquid Latex
they're in the fridge, never thought you'd have to do that, we need to make some wounds, adds realism, good work

I bought my stuff from there, and used some flour to thicken it up and a blowdryer to help keep it in place longer.
They suggest leaving it over night to set, but im going to refrigerate it for a few hours and see how it is after that.
Trial and error mainly, its quite fun making though lol.

RE: Liquid Latex
Not bad, but you're making the job harder with less results!
I've made an article about making wounds with liquid latex on rotteneggs.com

It might help you. The technique you use is more suited for burned skin effects, where you apply a nice coat of latex on the skin, and pierce & peel it so that it's all teared up and bumpy, like a third degree burn. If you want more details, just ask! I'll be happy to give you advices, tips, and tricks.

RE: Liquid Latex
I put my liquid latex in MY toaster oven, not for cooking. I think at around 180F for 20 minutes. You should make the moulds out of dried plaster though, the water in the latex comes out and goes through the plaster making it quicker to dry.
