Care and Feeding of Latex Heads

[mtpalin]

Howdy Fellas,

I recently picked up a latex head display (there is no hair involved). It has been around for a while. It could use some sprucing up, so I thought I'd throw out a few questions.

- First, is it advisable to clean it? If so, which products should be used (some type of soap, or some type of chemical cleaner)?

- Second, are there any types of preservative products that should be applied?

- Lastly, are there humidity requirements that should be observed?

Thanks guys. I'd really appreciate any help you could offer.

as far as specific stuff, you might wanna drop wampa a pm. hes done a ton of reconstruction and preserving of some pretty nice latex stuff.

good luck, and congrats on the addition.
