Filling pin holes in latex?

[BLAST]

I know how to fill air bubble holes in resin and hard materials, but what can I use to fill holes left by air bubbles in a latex cast? Some sort of caulk?

Thanks.

Get some liquid latex and dab it on with a sponge, wipe of the excess and that should do it, for larger holes you can by some latex thickener and do the same, for very large holes tears etc, you can use cotton wool or tissue, paint on the latex add a small piece then cover with latex works a treat.

Yep, use latex to repair latex.

Remember that because it's water based you can colour the latex with acrylic paints or powder paint to match your latex cast.

Thanks guys. Do you have any certain brands? I bought a tube of DAP white latex caulk and used it on a latex piece I had casted trying to fill a seam and it was really messy and now it just sort of rubs off.

Also, about painting, to paint an entire piece, is is necessary to use an airbrush? (It's a large piece)

Any liquid latex should do the trick, mould builder or something similar.
For latex peices you need to use acrylics, i base my pieces out in a pax paint base which is pros-aide and liquitex (or most acrylic brand) paint, i brush and sponge it on then airbrush fw acrylic inks over it, works well.
The other method is to mix latex and acrylic paint 50/50 and sponge that on then airbrush acrylics over that, some people airbrush the latex mix on, but i have not had much luck doing it that way, clogs the brush up to much, you can also try housepaint with latex not tried it myself but other people use it.
