I've been having allergic reactions to the Spirit Gum I've been using for my prosthetics. A few people have suggested I use latex. Could anyone recommend a good place to get it from? Thanks

Its latex based, and I can only assume this is what people were thinking of. The problem is, it doesn't stay on so good if you sweat too much. It also doesn't come off as easily as spirit gum...but you know, if you're allergic to gum, this is probably the next best thing.


(It doesn't half stink though )

Have a chat to Charles Fox. You don't have to buy it there, but they may well know of a good (and more importantly, hypoallergenic) alternative.

Sounds good - stick to using what they say, if Mark says "Use this stuff it's great" as he makes Masks for a living i'd suggest that's a pretty good idea.
