Liquid latex application

Posted by Kenzi on April 08, 2001 at 13:17:47:

does anyone out there have a great trick for applying liquid
latex?

I was told that I could use a soft-bristled brush and then
when I was done I could just wash the latex out of the
brush. I did this but the latex dried onto the bristles
into 2 or 3 large clumps after the first layer and
afterwards it didn't clean up with soap and water as
promised. Instead I had to scrape the latex off the
bristles which takes forever.

On a website devoted to liquid latex art they had a kit that
came with foam brushes and they showed people applying it
with these brushes. i can see that they would be great for
applying but I assume that they will have they same problems
as the soft-bristle brushes have and I will just have to
throw them out. Foam brushes are cheap but if they are
useless after one application that will get expensive very
quickly!

I now apply with my fingertips which works fine but is a
little messy because of the dripping.

I am hoping one of you super helpful and clever and
resourceful henna mavens has the perfect solution to my
p
