Description
- A staple for LARP and masks
- Creates a tough, flexible surface for weapons
- Ideal for realistic masks and prosthetics
A one-liter bottle of liquid latex with a screw cap.
This liquid latex is a staple for every LARP workshop and makeup kit.
Use it to craft padded weapons, cast masks, and create your own prosthetics. This large one-liter bottle gives you plenty of material for extensive workshop projects.
A flexible shield for your weapons
Once dry, the latex forms an exceptionally tough and elastic layer. Use a brush to apply several thin layers directly onto sanded foam. You can easily paint the flexible surface with acrylics and seal it with a flexible varnish.
Casting masks and detailed props
Pour the latex into a mold to create flexible masks or elf ears. The material captures fine details perfectly and holds its shape even under rough handling. You get a lightweight casting that can withstand even the most intense LARP combat.
Creating injuries safely on your workbench
This technical-grade latex is not intended for direct application to human skin and does not serve as skin adhesive.
Prepare all your cinematic injuries and scars in advance on a non-absorbent surface! Build up layers of latex with cotton, sponges, or tissues to sculpt deep wounds.
Once dry, attach the finished prosthetic to your face using Mastix adhesive. Smooth out the outer edges of the scar with specialized skin-safe latex.
This way, you achieve a realistic movie effect without unnecessary skin irritation.
Latex color
When applied in thin layers, the latex is almost transparent once dry. As the thickness increases, it takes on a flesh-toned or slightly ochre hue. The base color does not affect the application of makeup or subsequent painting.
A few practical tips:
-
Typical latex odor: Yes, latex has a characteristic smell. It is liquid rubber stabilized with ammonia, which is responsible for its specific scent. This is normal for this type of latex. We recommend ensuring proper ventilation while working. The smell will gradually fade once it is completely dry.
-
Application: Apply the latex in thin layers. Always let one layer dry thoroughly before adding the next. You can speed up the process with a hair dryer on a cool setting. Latex takes approximately four hours to dry at room temperature and shrinks by about 1 cm during the drying process.

I've been using liquid latex from imago for several years now and I'm very satisfied.
Every order arrives within a few days, so I can keep on creating. I specifically use it for making masks for SFX makeup.
Tekutý latex z fantasyobchodu využívám již několik let a jsem velmi spokojená.
Každá obědnávka dorazí běhěm pár dní a já můžu neustále tvořit. Konkrétně ho využívám na výrobu masek na SFX makeup
We used this latex for the very first masks we ever made, and even without any great artistic talent, we achieved a great result :-)
Použili jsme tento latex při výrobě vůbec prvních masek co jsme dělali a i bez nějakého velkého uměleckého cítění jsme došli k dobrému výsledku :-)
I can't complain! I haven't found latex at such a great price anywhere else. Does it smell? Well, yes, it smells until it dries, but that's what happens when there's ammonia in it – it's survivable. :D
Tip: You can thicken it with flour and color it with acrylic paints. I made an "underground creature" mask out of it and inhaled quite a bit of that ammonia (used 2 liters of latex), so ventilate well and latex away – it's hard to find anything better!
Nemůžu si stěžovat! Latex za tak krásnou cenu jsem snad nikde jinde nenašel. Že smrdí... No ano, smrdí, než uschne, ale to už tak bývá, když je v něčem čpavek. - dá se přežít. :D
Tip: dá se zahustit moukou, a obarvit akrylovýma barvama. Dělal jsem z něj masku "podzemního tvora" a toho čpavku sem se dost nadýchal, (2 litry latexu padly), takže vesele větrejte a latexujte, lepší je jen těžko k sehnání!
I bought this latex to mask wires (adding bulk to trunks and branches) for miniature wargaming trees. I picked up the tip from a video where they used Woodland Scenics latex, which is half the size and twice the price.
The photo shows it just after application. I'll likely need at least 2 coats to fully cover the wires (the latex shrank a little). I plan to paint or spray it brown afterwards.
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase. The product does exactly what I expected.
With the window open, I barely smelled the ammonia, just for the first 10 seconds before my nose got used to it. Once dry, it smells just like disposable latex gloves.
Latex jsem zakoupil na maskování drátků (přidání hmoty na kmínek a větve) na miniaturní stromy do wargamingu. Okoukal jsem to na jednom videu kde používají latex od Woodland Scenics který je o polovinu menší a 2x tak drahý.
Na fotografii těsně po nanesení. Asi bude potřeba nanést minimálně 2 vrstvy aby drátky byly úplně zakryté (latex se maličko smrštil). Následně plánuji namalovat / přestříkat hnědou barvou.
Celkově jsem s nákupem moc spokojený. Zboží splňuje přesně to co jsem od něj očekával.
Při otevřeném okně jsem čpavek skoro necítil, jen prvních 10 vteřin než si nos trošku zvykne. Po zaschnutí je cítit jako jednorázové (latexové) rukavice.
The best latex on the Czech market at a great price. I use it for finishing weapons; it holds just as well as duct tape but looks way better.
Nejlepší latex na českém trhu a za parádní cenu. Já ho používám na povrchovou úpravu zbraní a drží stejně dobře jako kobercovka a je to esteticky lepší.
Apply thin layers, otherwise a crust will form on the surface and the latex won't dry properly. The photo shows green slime for a DnD map - I created the bubbles on purpose by injecting air into the wet latex with a syringe. It has specific uses for DnD; besides slime, I also used it to make the contents of a witch's cauldron.
Je potřeba dělat slabé vrstvy, jinak se na povrchu vytvoří krusta a latex nezaschne správně. Na fotce je zelený sliz pro jednu DnD mapu - bubliny jsem dělal cíleně (vzduch injekční stříkačkou do nezaschnutého latexu). Pro DnD to má specifické užití, mimo slizu jsem tím také dělal obsah kotlíku ježibaby
I bought the latex for my Halloween masks. It was my first time working with it, but I really enjoyed it and I'm happy with the result. Though, I could only stand wearing the mask for a few hours, and taking it off wasn't exactly pleasant :D...
Latex jsem si pořídila kvůli maskám na halloween. Pracovala jsem s ním poprvé, ale moc mě to bavilo a výsledek mě taky potěšil. Jen v masce šlo vydržet jen pár hodin a sundavání nebylo nejpříjemnější :D...
