| Looking for Silicone/Rubber
I'll make it quick.
Looking for somewhere in Glasgow that sells orange silicone/rubber that I could mould and shape, as part of my halloween costume...
Any ideas?
Cheers x |

Would liquid latex be any good? You can add dye to colour it and I think you can still get it in the Art Store or Millers. | |

hmm I think liquid latex would be pretty hard to put/keep on.
Looking more for rubber/silicone that I could mould into a template then sew/glue together at the sides.
This is for her orange braces/suspenders. | |

Be warned though, liquid latex smells like rancid shite till it dries.
I'm pretty sure you can just whack some food colouring or the like into it to get the orange, best doing a wee test area first, obv. | |

If you are on a budget, acrylic paint can be used to colour the latex.

Kropserkel products are fantastic, though.
They're a professional FX house, that have made amazing replicas of the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica, and the Witch King from Lord Of The Rings.
Just for hallowe'en, though... You're better making your own IMHO. | |
