I've been using Mehron's liquid latex for several years to cover henna
... it works, but there are some problems.

I find there is a slight fuzzing of the lines unless I spray the henna
with New Skin first. However, not only does the liquid latex do an
excellent job of covering henna in warm weather , it takes off the New
Skin when you peal of the latex.

Latex is not for furry regions. Latex will rip off all your fur.
Latex is not for bendy regions .... if you touch the latex to itself,
in your sleep or whatever, it will wad up into a little horror, taking
the henna with it. It's really not very good for hands.

It's GREAT for hennaes that you could not otherwise wrap: a back, a
pregnant woman's belly, a full body nude. It's great for weather so
hot that other wraps would be miserable.

You do your henna and let it dry. You New Skin it lightly
(necessary to preserve fine detail) and then apply liquid latex. Let
that dry. Leave it on 8 hours or so.
