Min Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Anybody ever try using liquid latex body paint as a resist on bisque or glaze? I noticed they sell it at Party City and it's a fair bit cheaper than the liquid latex I can get from our local Michaels Crafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I use it. I have been using latex since the early 90s, but I found the makeup latex to be less expensive on eBay...especially colored latex. Marcia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewV Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I wonder if it is different from the latex I have for watercolor painting. The label makes the price, not the product! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Not sure if it is misket, I don't think so. These are rubber latex and thicker. I thin it to brush it on. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 I have tried using the latex resist, used for watercolor. It works well, but uses way too much, and those jars are tiny. I don't go through too much of the stuff, so I just buy the normal stuff from my ceramic supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Min Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks everyone! I’m trying to avoid having it shipped right now because of freezing weather, so was looking for alternatives. Party City has liquid latex for 20- for 16 oz. (my local ceramic place doesn’t carry latex) Thanks Marcia for letting me know you use something similar and it works. I’ll pick up some of the Party City stuff and if it works I’ll post back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I get it on eBay. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyL Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 I use Mold Builder by Casting Craft.. It's an amonia based formula so don't leave it in you car during freezing temperatures. Just put a few drops of food coloring in it to see it better and pretreat your brush with a thin application of soap so it will wash out easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
