Latex Bald cap

[darthmac]

Hi,

I am currently using glatzan for my bald caps (plastic) however i want to change from water based makeup to alcohol based namely reel makeup. i know alcohol eats away at the plastic but does it do the same with a latex cap? If so which is the best to use with the alcohol based makeup?

I don't have all too much knowledge on this, but you should be fine. I found a page that talks about latex paints specifically, but the same should ring true for liquid latex used for bald caps. I know acetone is used to taper/blend the edge of latex bald caps into the wearer's skin for a smoother transition. (Pretty sure Isopropyl alcohol can be used as well)

That's brilliant. I think I have the perfect cap. Got to try at least.
