Hoping for the perfect mask...

I did a gig last night wherein my henna latex mask failed .... any
suggestions for the perfect solution to this problem?

Here was the situation: I had to do a large complex henna around and
just below bikini line, get it done, dried , sealed and ready to go
home in a sports car in one hour flat ... and though the henna was
done perfectly and sealed, it got folded (latex sticks to itself) and
the henna was ruined. I used latex....it failed miserably. My usual
TP/saran/tape wrap would have been hugely inconvenient. I've had poor
results with the facial mask mixes.

What would you use on an bikini part of the body which is apt to fold
over, to secure the henna for overnight in Cleveland, in one hour max,
with access to playtime required? NS itself won't go dark enough in
this climate. Latex sticks to itself. The mask mixes I've tried
aren't secure enough. Lemon Sugar is slow, and neither secure enough
nor heat-encouraging enough. What would you do to get the best
results if you had to do a below navel henna in one hour flat before
the lady had to put her clothes back on, lept into the Miata and sped
away into the night? Is it a hopeless case?

(if you want the full story...it is hysterically funny, but not
appropriate for open henna forum discussion; email me if you want the
story. Don't have a cup of coffee near your keyboard when you open
the email, I don't want to buy you a new keyboard. Assure me, when
you request this, that you're 18, if not trudging into and past
middle age. )
