Latex Thickening Question - Dr Channard - 08-17-2007
hey guys - i'm trying my hand at some mask making an despite a 2 or 3 hour dwell time, when the mask comes out it is floppy like a DP mask. it seems to be a decent thickness, kinda like a night owl mask, not too thick not too thin, but it's floppy as hell - doesnt keep its shape at all. is there a thickening agent to make it more firm?please help a noob out <img src=\"http://forums.NIGHTOWLpro.com/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

You can use a thickener but it doesn't work like leaving the moulds filled for a while, you add it to latex and brush it in building up thickness that way, sometimes my masks are floppy when they come outa the mould, but after a couple of days they do stiffen up a bit, might be there not fully cured yet
