I do find myself in some trouble though, having problems getting the seams to attach and form a strong bond. I'm using a Casco glue S9 Super 3831, and it says on the product sheet that it should be good for natural latex. Am I using the wrong glue, or what am I doing wrong? I try to be very thourough and do exactly as you show in your video, but even after 24 h I can tear the seams apart. That shouldn't happen, should it? Very greatful if you or other vistors here could give me some directions. Hi Latex Kitty,

I made my first piece of latex clothing last week thanks to these tutorials. However, when making it I didn't realise how little pressure I needed to apply to the seam when creating it. By pressing the seam as I was creating it I caused bumps in my latex. After re watching the tutorial vids I just wanted to point out how little you touch the seam until it is constructed. It's not something I would have even noticed had someone not told me what was causing the bumps. I think this is an important piece of advice for any newbie!! I’d also like to raise another point.

One difference I am noticing though is that when I glued straight seams I found it easier to control the latex by fixing standard masking tape onto the reverse of each piece. This stopped the rubber from buckling when the glue was applied and also prevented the latex pieces from unevenly stretching when being applied. As for the fixing of curved seams, I found it useful to make myself a former (usually from tightly rolled towels tied into an old pillowcase) which gave me a selection of contoured surfaces on which to glue. The key, I found, to succesfully working with latex is being able to control the material at all times in order to prevent uneven seams an wasted material.
