Powder Liquid Latex?

[badbrother104]

So i bought some Liquid Latex today and it says I need to "powder" it after applying. Anyone know what type of powder they mean?

Talcum powder.. probably the cheapest stuff you can find.. unscented talc will cost you less than a buck for a huge bottle at any drug store. you basically want to dust it, letting the talc stick to the latex (after it's cured, if I recall correctly). This will keep any sagging areas from sticking to each other (think about how saran-wrap sticks to itself if you're not careful.. latex is 100 times worse, as it will essentially "glue itself together".. so get a layer of talc on there to keep that from happening.

You can also use cornstarch. Really any "bath and body powder" will do. just use unscented. Remember to repowder your appliances before storing, and after washing them.

Yeah, any kind of baby powder, either talcum of corn starch will work. It's a lot cheaper than the fancy makeup powders but equally effective.
