You can absolutely use Original Pros Aide. It will just dry tacky and you’ll need to powder it. As far as painting with latex, I’d do a small patch test first. Mix your latex and acrylic paint 50/50 and paint a small patch or a scrap piece of latex. Let it dry and stretch it and pull it and test the adhesion and flexibility.
Great video! I wish you had listed the different paints and elements you used with links in your description. That would have made this perfect! Thank you!
Hey there! Just used to seal my masks with Liquitex mediums and that worked very well. But I have recently switched to V-Matte and V-Gloss from Frend’s and I will never use anything else! It’s a very very flexible rubber cement sealer. I’m spray mine on with an airbrush. If you do that then PLEASE use a respirator and good ventilation. frendsbeauty.com/special-fx/fx-on-set/v-matte-rubber-cement-sealer.html
I have 2 latex mask and I wanted to cut the ears off one and put them on a other Is that possible to do ...and how would I go about doing that to make The ears stay ?
Yes! It is possible nowadays with some products from Motion Picture FX Company. They make a line of “Monster DNA” products to glue and patch latex masks. I’m including the link to the product page. You can use their contact adhesive to glue mask rubber pieces together and their patch products to blend them together. motionpicturefx.com/search?q=monster+patch&type=product
I’ve honestly never tried. I’m sorry I can’t say yay or nay. A small test would be advisable. Try spraying it on a scrap piece of latex before spraying a whole mask.
Probably not. That looks like it’s akin to Elmer’s all purpose glue. You need something with a flexible adhesion that’s going to bite onto the rubber. Back in the day we used to use rubber cement+rubber cement thinner+oils. But that’s super toxic as all hell when you spray it.
I’d do a small patch test on a piece of scrap latex first. I’ve never tried it personally. I do occasionally use Monster Makers RD407 Latex Paint Bases. But I don’t know what their pigments are.
Congratulations! I’ve been using exclusively V-Matte and V-Gloss from Frend’s. It’s a rubber cement sealer. But prior to that I was using Liquitex Varnish with good success. It comes in Matte, Satin and Gloss.
I respectfully disagree. I shot this video in 2020 during the pandemic when all work was shut down. At the time I had used No-Tack for years with excellent results. In the time since I’ve shot this video, I’ve switched primarily to Createx’s Flex Adhesion Promoter- also with excellent results. And usually seal with V-Matte or V-Gloss from Frend’s. Remember, there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Good luck on your own journey.

That looks great!
While I like PAX paint, I hate the gloss it leaves behind. Works though, especially if you're going for a glossy look.

Killer paint job 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽
With Pros-Aide No tack can I use any acrylic paint for my latex mask?
Or do I have to use a special paint?
Can I use original pro-aide? Or latex? If the “non tack” is to expensive for me?
Hello, what’s best way to preserve a latex mask, so it wont crack after so many years? Thanks and love your work!

@AnatomySPFX wow thanks alot!!
Working with a very limited budget, is plasti dip clear spray good for sealing and preventing cracking?
I’ve honestly never tried. I’m sorry I can’t say yay or nay. A small test would be advisable. Try spraying it on a scrap piece of latex before spraying a whole mask.
Yes Plasti dip is fine.
Do you really need the prosaide no tack or can you just use the acrylic paint by itself
You need something with a flexible adhesion like Pros Aide. Acrylic paint on its own won’t bond to the latex permanently. It will crack and rub off.
@@AnatomySPFX could i use allens turbo tacky glue as a substitute?
Probably not. That looks like it’s akin to Elmer’s all purpose glue. You need something with a flexible adhesion that’s going to bite onto the rubber. Back in the day we used to use rubber cement+rubber cement thinner+oils. But that’s super toxic as all hell when you spray it.
could i use liquid latex instead of pros-aide?
I’d do a small patch test on a piece of scrap latex first. I’ve never tried it personally. I do occasionally use Monster Makers RD407 Latex Paint Bases. But I don’t know what their pigments are.
@@AnatomySPFX it worked! Lol. I mixed liquid latex with acrylics. But now i need to seal the mask. What would you recommend?

Wow pros-aide no tack adhesive is proper rip off! You must be minted.
