Can anyone add a list of a few us based latex companies? so far I know about http://www.mjtrends.com/. all there stuff comes in 36 inch wide and i wanted a bit wider. I was looking for 40+ inch wide. All the others are foreign companies and charge like 50 bucks in shipping. I’m trying to avoid an extra seem.

@martin
Yes sure you can. If you glue them, be sure to use the rubber cement.
You can even use the tires if you wanna make something really rough and simple, but then you have to sew them of course, since they are to thick to be glued.
Good luck! PS: would be interesting to see what you made in the end

MrLat,

I’ve been looking around for awhile trying to find silicone sheeting comparable to what one would use for latex clothing. So far, I’ve only found this:

There’s alot of silicone sheeting manufacturers out there, but I’ve yet to find one with sheet thicknesses in the .30mm -.60mm range though. Hopefully someone else has had better luck.

Hi, I’m about to make my first latex dress, just a boob tube style mini dress, am wondering what the best thickness to go for is?
I’ve been looking at http://www.fourdrubber.com, does anyone know if this place is good quality/reasonably priced? I’m totally new to making latex clothing!

Hi all,
I’m wanting to make a rose and was wondering what thickness latex to use, that will be pliable but still maintain rigidity- thinking around 0.3 or .4?

I can feel some messy try outs coming on…

Hi,
I wonder if anybody ever tried to create clothes from silicone? I am talking about the really soft and stretchy one (maybe it is a little bit thicker than the usual rubber sheet, but still would be ok because it is more stretchy than rubber).

Any idea where I can buy this kind of material in sheet to try to create some simple clothes?

Thanks

Does anyone know what to use when screen printing latex sheeting? Is it liquid latex? I’ve still experimenting but it’s hard finding any information on what inks/ materials to use.

I’ve just scanned around the net and can only find Radical rubber, who I rather not go to after read this section, and cloth house. Surely there’s more and 2 suppliers.

In the USA there is a company called MJ Trends that is a little more costly than radical rubber but you only have to worry about the domestic shipping charges….I believe their website is http://www.mjtrends.com ! Good Luck from Florida, USA
