What do you mean "dip" the glove in it? Do I pour the latex into another container and then dip the whole glove in, or do I just paint it on coat by coat? Won't the latex dry out? Not sure if I want a huge tub or not, I may get 32 oz but I do not know how much is enough.I will probably use the same method as I did my other costumes and just make an undershirt so that I can cover up what is needed with the weathered overshirt, then cut out the pieces to reveal it that way. Also what was your weathering techniques for part 7 and 8? Also you said you cut other parts ot and latex them from pants, do you then sew or glue them in? I would probabaly glue them then sew them to be extra secure.Does latex ruin the paint brush?
