Masks - dipping latex?
in Lab work
Hi all, I'm trying to find slip cast latex here in the UK, but it seems to be a term we don't use. All I can find is "liquid" or "dipping". Oh and foam latex
Tim Martin in his excellent mask tutorial say foam latex is a no-no though.
https://www.mbfg.co.uk/latex.html here's what I can find.
There's a supplier that sell RD407 but I'll need 5 gallons to use Tim's technique and that's expensive
Any help would be appreciated.

However, I still wonder if dipping latex is actually slip cast latex with a different name?
Instead of filling the mold and letting it set off, would manually rotating it work just the same if I used a smaller volume? Work on my biceps at the same time...
I completely understand. Material costs can be a big challenge, especially when you have to buy more than you need.
You can build up layers of latex by roto or slush casting as you mentioned. With big stone molds it's a great upper body workout!
You can also brush in layers of latex for larger molds, or if you want to make sure the latex is worked into finer details. With both methods you will have to build up multiple coats to get the desired thickness.
