Hello pro pred-heads. I think I may have an idea for my first skin but am wondering if you think it would even work. I have a captain america halloween costume with the foam muscles and everything in the suit. If you haven't seen them, they are very light weight, zippered in the back, and the foam muscles are built in to the arms, chest and abs (no support in the back). I'm wondering if I can paint the entire thing with latex and have it work as a skin. My fears: material won't hold underneath because it is so light weight, the latex will rip because the suit is so flexible and light, and that the suit will sag due to the weight of the latex. Am I just paranoid?
Any insight would be very much appreciated. I'm anxious to get going on my first creation but don't want to set myself up for a disaster. Thanks for your time! - phil
