Crafti-Latex is Craftiviti's special Liquid Latex. It is suitable for a variety of special effects and mold making applications!
Latex or Liquid Rubber is one of the most essential materials for Special Effects artists around the globe to create realistic fake skin, wounds, scars, blister, burns, wrinkles, aging effects, alien or zombie features. Used in the entertainment industry, movie and video shoots, stage and theatre makeup. Made from natural rubber the latex hardens when it is exposed to air. It can be brushed on to prosthetics molds to create body parts such as masks, ears, noses and endless other creations.
Crafti-Latex can also be used for resin art. It can be applied on resin coasters to protect the back and allow easy resin-drip removal when adding more coats of resin. *scroll down for a video demo!
