Mehron Liquid Latex 117 (9 Oz, Soft Beige)

Creates a fabulous aged hag look, easily. Created with latex and cotton wool. I did feel it beneficial to add more foundation to even the look.

Fabulous. Used on skin. Used to coat scar wax. Used with cotton and leather. For SFX this is the bees knees.

I work on a haunted trail at Halloween and have used this the past few years to create my mask. I mix with a little flour and create a paste that allows it to be sculpted. Once my prosthetic is dry, I use the latex to apply it as well. The smell can be a bit strong, especially when applying near your nose and eyes but that dissipates pretty fast. My bottles usually last me about two-three years.

The fumes from this product are so bad that you can't put it anywhere near your face without horrible burning/stinging in your eyes. Not sure how they can place a product like this on the market. Might be able to use if you poured some out on a sheet and let it dry, peeled it, and used it as a prosthetic with some spirit gum but I wouldn't recommend putting it directly on the face wet. It's also very very sheer so if you're looking for something thick to cover up blemishes or something, you would have to put on dozens of layers before you'd get any kind of coverage. Except you can't really put on multiple layers without tearing the under layers no matter how gently you go over them so you have no real choice of getting a smooth application except for maybe the first layer which goes on practically clear, not flesh-toned. If you're looking for the lumpy, shredded "peeling zombie" effect, it does act kind of like Elmer's Glue, flaky and peelable. But again, fumes BAD. Would not recommend unless you use well away from the face/neck/head area.

love this product, but they sent me the wrong product TWICE and I ordered this to work on a project so because of this my work is effected. Ordered light flesh, received clear, applied for a return, and they sent me back another clear bottle. Again, the latex itself is great but I don’t know why they’re advertising that they have ‘light flesh’ if it’s impossible to recieve that product.

I was very impressed with this. I had never used anything like it prior but found it was fun to experiment with. Several people asked me if I was a special effects professional, lol. I had a guy come up to me in a restaurant and ask if I would scare his kids for him. :) I will be buying this again next year if I do zombie theme for work again. I used it mainly to create holes/gashes in my face/skin.

Sooooo.. I just got my liquid latex after ordering it simply two days ago. I bought the 9 oz and for those of you with terrible guessing of how big that is (like I am) it is about a fist (standing upright, as if you were grabbing a mug with a handle) and two fingers big of a regular sized woman. I am SO EXCITED to use this for my halloween prosthetic this year! I will update this review after I use it!
