Latex rubber provides a durable mold rubber for casting plaster, cement, wax, soap products, and is also used for making composite rubber bladders, masks, animatronic skins, and appliances in the Special Effects industry. Latex is a water-ammonia mixture that can be brushed, dipped, sprayed or slush casted. Latex needs to semi dry between coats as multi layer molds or parts are being created.
