Liquid Latex
Liquid latex is often used for special effects make-up and body painting applications. There are several brands of on the market including Maximum Impact, Deviant, Brand X and the only Ammonia free latex from Liquid Latex Fashions. Liquid latex contains about one-third latex, two-thirds water (plus less than one percent ammonia to keep the latex from spoiling and to control the pH of the solution). Liquid latex is sold in jars ranging from 2 oz. through gallon jugs and the consistency is similar to latex house paint. A four ounce jar can typically cover an average sized body. It is typically applied using a disposable sponge and takes about five to ten minutes to dry depending on how thick it is applied. As it dries it solidifies to a rubbery consistency and in the processes ends up shrinking about three percent.
