Hypo-allergenic liquid latex.

@sirsmellme

i use the eyelash glue stuff. it actually works really well.

[eisnil]

@sirsmellme just elmers glue works...not sure what it has or what liquid latex has in it that ur allergic too...but elmers

[sirsmellme]

[lizbonosavestheday]

[lilprincess1129]

is there anyway to replace the skin latex for people that can't find/or buy it (aka me lol)

[blindhammer]

try thhose websites that sell the latex, if you can't find anyway to get it from online let me know and i'll think of an alternative

[lilprincess1129]

thanks for the help! i'm going to play around with somethings I well let you know how that goes.

[eisnil]

@lilprincess1129 you can also use elmers glue, some people say to water it down, but mine was just fine with just glue, and its non toxic and all that jazz too.

@lilprincess1129

For me, I usually use eyelash adhesive, it works pretty well for it.

[LemonyGrapes]

this guy looks so stoned.

[blindhammer]

the latex has that affect on me :-p

[TheLeprechuan]

Also,  Just had to. (Sorry)

"You're***"

[S3jaymes]

thx man this iz good

[52Gamefreak]

i bought my skin color latex will this work better or does it vary?

[blindhammer]

nope that might even do better!

[TheLeprechuan]

curious: Do you use any product on your fingers prior to applying the latex with your hands, or just as is? I find latex dries way to quickly with friction, But then again my hands are fairly rough lol.

But that must save you a lot of time and money not having to waste so many paint brushes lol.

[blindhammer]

no i don't use anything on my fingers, it depends on the latex, if it is a good thick quality, then it won't dry so fast.

[TheLeprechuan]

Though it depends completely on your skin color. Though I find Skin colored Latex is more expensive and requires you to use make-up to blend with your skin tone anyways, The traditinal white is usually a better buy.
