Perma Wet

[🪦 sirbrad ●]

I seen acrylic sealer high gloss in what appears to be a paint can, would this work or be too absorbed? For now I picked up the Sobo Premium Fabric Glue that dries clear, same thing as Aileen but cheaper version. The most they had was 4 oz bottle though, but I figured it would work well as a test. Any tips on applying it? I got those disposable sponge brushes. Do I just squeeze it on and smooth/thin it out with the brush?

It comes as paint, and is in the same arts section.

go with dbach's modge podge solution. I have done the exact same thing on multiple latex pieces as well as clothing and it works great every time...Tommybtw...the acrylic sealer is for acrylic paint. Whenever acrylic paint dries, it flakes. The sealer permanently bonds it to the surface of whatever it is paint on so that it cannot be chipped or flaked off easily....that being said, acrylic paint on a surface like fabric will flack and crack no matter what you do, unless you mix in a ratio of latex with it...

Thanks. Just for reference, my part 7 costume is full of acrylic paint but none of it is flaking at all. I used smooth thin strokes though, and no large smudge build up. But I just tried to scrape it off and it does not flake off or chip at all. It is mostly blood/gun powder wounds but they are still holding well after a few weeks. Might seal them in though later.Another question on liquid latex. I assume this gets hard, and can be peeled off the skin? What about fabric? Will it come off? How can you keep make it doesn't come off? I thought about using it on my long sleeved gray undershirt for my part 7, and I could also use it then to show through cut off sleeves for my part 8. I could just touch up paint, or even build it up some with cotton and liquid latex? Then detail it. Although I do not want to drift too far away from part 7, as it makes little sense to go from charcoal BBQ hands to gloves cut off revealing a human pinkie.But I would not mind the grayish white parts showing through, and with my own personal touches, and to be sure they match the undermask I will get.

you actually can use liquid latex to give fabric a wet look as well. It will instantly bond with the fabric...and there is no way in hell you can get it off...trust me, i have ruined enough clothes when using latex. just mix in whatever color acrylic paint you may want to tint it...and just paint it in layers until you get the wet look you want...now, the latex arms and such. You can do just that. That is what alot of us have done. I actually got one ready made from mike at fod of an underarmour long sleeve shirt. The entire sleeves and various parts of the rest is covered in latex and cotton to creat rotted areas. I added more to my liking and then put the over shirt on and scored the areas i wanted to expose. I have also taken pantyhose and put those on forearm forms and just went to town with latex, cotton, tissue paper, etc...and built up really nice zombie forearms...Tommy

Some material might be a little thin though, but would be cool if I could make a whole arm and hand, and build it up with paper and cotton etc. Can you build up with newspaper? Or is that not a good idea due to the ink?

Those would work fine.

You can also use clear silicone chaulk. I've covered panyhose with that stuff to make arms and I've put it on clothes before to make it look wet, like the stab wounds from the fence post in part 6 that look slimy throughout the movie, clear silicone works great for that, and it is cheap. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />

This is a Dickies shirt and some walmart blue slacks im preparing to make a Part 8.. just so you can see the Dickie shirt doesnt suck the liquid, the pants do a little , these are actually done with permawet.I havent cut them yet or weathered them, they are flexable ... but it is true if you dont brush it the right way you get white spot <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> <img src=\"http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m239/RotNHell_2006/DSCN1688.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m239/RotNHell_2006/DSCN1690.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />
