It sound the same to me. Latex milk, brush on latex, liquid latex, moulding or casting latex – everybody calls it something different

Hi there! I’ve been searching for this latex milk you describe in Australia, and what I’ve found is something called Brush Latex or Brush-on Latex. Would it be the same product?

(Brilliant site by the way, I look forward to undertaking a few of your tutorials!)

You would be using latex milk for that. After you applied the latex milk use tweezers to remove everything that should not be on there – if there might be something.
Remember to rubberize the cotton! I would be having the latex lying on a clean and smooth surface and and then carefully lay the cotton on.
I usually kind off roll it carefully onto the latex, to avoid air-bubbles. Then apply all over little pressure with your fingers and use the seam-roller.
Roll at first only slightly over the area with your seam roller, afterwards you can apply a little more pressure. If you still have bubbles, then you can use a thin needle to smooth the big bubbles out.
You can do that here because you have cotton on one site of the latex.

I’m wanting to adhere latex to another fabric (like coutil, cotton, and velvet). The latex I’m using is .35mm, so will I need latex milk or rubber cement? This is going to be over a large area of the latex. I’m also not doing any seam work. It will be one piece of latex, so do you have any tips for smoothing it out without making darts? I want it to look as smooth and streamlined as possible. Thanks for your time!! I love your site!!!

Hi,
Very informing discussion.
This is the type of glue I am looking for, one of my catsuits has the zipper lining coming loose for a part and I want to fix that again. For thicker latex I have other glue for repair but this lining is thin and I know this will curl with the glue I have now.
Does anyone know where I could buy this type of glue in the Netherlands?

Thanks,

Kate
