Anyone use this to make props or such for your Halloween display? Hubby brought home a big bottle from work and we're just kind of sitting there looking at it going, ok, what now
If you have used it, any tips?

Oh, I might be able to help. I do it all the time. I normally buy the expired latex on ebay for around 25 bucks. It works great.
Here is a little project for you with the latex. You can make some really cool hands Taking a piece of pvc pipe(1/2 inch), cut 5 holes in the top at the end. These are the point where the fingers where go. Next get wire coat hangers and cut them the size of fingers. Put them in the holes. Then use some duc tape and tape the wire coat hangers to make them look like the back of one's hand. If you understand. Next get some cotton balls and your latex and a good brush. What you are going to do is build up the hands and spread the latex on top. Practice a little with applying the latex over the cotton. After you mess with it a little, you will understand a little bit better how to smear the latex on the cotton. And there you have latex hands. What are you going to do with the latex hands. Any thing you want. LOL.

I think the hands could look cool if we made them look like they were coming out of the ground...like a corpse trying to drag itself out.
Thanks for the idea Mark!
