What kind of latex are you using? I\'m guessing that you probably have the Monster Makers latex, right? They had two kinds, that I can remember. Soft and Firm. We\'ve used both, and absolutely hated the Firm Grade shit. The Soft Grade is pretty good stuff, but we don\'t use it anymore. It all depends on the thickness you are going for. We usually fill the mold to the brim and let it sit for about an hour. Then we dump the latex back out into the bucket and let whatever excess latex that is in the mold leak out onto the ground (you could also sit it on a bucket, incase you don\'t want to lose it). We fill it back up about thirty minutes laters and dump it out a minute later. Another thirty minutes later, do the same thing. Depending on how thick or thin and watery your latex is, you may be able to fill it anywhere from two to five times. But hey, that\'s your call. You may need to experiment with what you have. Sit the mold infront of a fan for a few hours to speed up the drying process, this will save you a lot of time. If you need anymore help, don\'t be shy about asking me.
