Take your costume to the next level
Liquid latex is a key material for special effects (SFX), cosplay, and LARP. While small bottles are enough for minor scars and blending edges, this one-liter pack lets you dive into truly massive projects.
It is the community-proven choice for the final coating of foam LARP weapons, shields, and armor, creating a durable and flexible layer. It also works perfectly for making full masks, extensive wounds, or casting molds.
What can you do with liquid latex?
- LARP coating: The community swears by this latex for the final finish of foam weapons, shields, and armor parts. It creates a durable, flexible, and easily paintable layer that protects the weapon's core and gives it a realistic look.
- Molds and casting: Want to duplicate an amulet or create your own series of props? Latex is a classic material for making negative molds. Apply it layer by layer to create a "peel-off" mold that captures even the finest details.
- Epic SFX Make-up: With a whole liter, you don't have to limit yourself to one scar. Create entire zombified bodies, extensive burns, or gruesome mutations (shoutout to all The Last of Us fans). Mix it with bits of cotton or tissues to create hideously realistic textures.
- Creating wounds: Combine it with a bit of cotton or a torn paper tissue to create a gruesome texture of torn skin, burns, or blisters in no time. Add some fake blood and watch people jump back.
- Gluing and Blending: The perfect way to mask the edges of store-bought horns, elf ears, or other rubber accessories. The latex beautifully "dissolves" the edges into your skin.
- Aging effect: Apply thin layers and "wrinkle" them (e.g., by furrowing your brow) to easily create deep, realistic wrinkles.
Latex color
Once dry, this latex is almost completely transparent in thin layers. As the thickness increases, it takes on a slight skin-tone or ochre hue. The base color does not affect any subsequent makeup application or painting.A few practical tips
- Yes, it smells. To be clear: this is liquid rubber stabilized with ammonia. The smell is normal and a sign that the latex hasn't gone bad. Once it dries, the smell disappears completely. Work in a well-ventilated room unless you're a fan of specific aromas.
- Watch out for allergies! Latex is a strong allergen. Before you slap it on your face or hands, do a quick test. Apply a small amount to sensitive skin (like the inside of your forearm) and wait a few hours. If the spot doesn't turn red, you're good to go.
- Application: Apply the latex in thin layers. Always let one layer dry thoroughly before adding the next. You can use a hair dryer on the cool setting to speed things up. Latex dries in approximately four hours at room temperature; it shrinks by about 1 cm while drying.
- Removal? Peel it off carefully. Latex works a bit like a waxing strip. If you apply it to areas with hair (eyebrows, beard, sideburns, hair), always coat them thoroughly with petroleum jelly or another greasy cream beforehand. Otherwise, you will regret it. Deeply. You can easily wash off any residue with warm water and soap.

I used the latex to create a colored coating for fiberglass arrows and it holds up perfectly. I was worried it would lighten the dark paint a bit when mixed, but the difference was minimal. I definitely have nothing to complain about.
Latex jsem použil na vytvoření barevného povlaku na laminátové šípy a drží skvěle. Obával jsem se, že pří smíchání trochu zesvětlí tmavou barvu, ale rozdíl byl minimální. Rozhodně si není na co stěžovat.
I bought this liquid latex about 2 years ago and I still have it. It's probably the cheapest latex I found online, and I have to say that compared to more expensive options, it might even be better (especially in terms of quantity), even though liquid latexes are all pretty similar. Once I run out, I'll definitely buy it again :)
Tento tekutý latex jsem zakoupila asi před 2 roky a stále ho mám. Je to asi nejlevnější latex, který jsem našla na internetu a musím říct, že v porovnání s dražšími variantami je možná i lepší (hlavně co se týče množství), i když ty tekuté latexy jsou dost podobné. Až mi dojde, tak určitě koupím znovu :)
Great for making masks. Not suitable for creating wounds or scars; it doesn't stick well and starts peeling off rapidly after an hour. It's fine for studio photoshoots, though.
Na tvoření masek super. Na tvoření ran a jizev se nehodí, nedrží a po hodině se začne rapidně loupat. Na ateliérové focení ale postačí.
Great latex. I use it often for my photo projects, whether for making scars or as skin adhesive, since it's much easier to work with. It holds perfectly, peels off the skin without any issues, and is easy to apply makeup over. And the price? Awesome!
Skvělý latex. Používám ho často na své fotoprojekty, ať už na výrobu jizev, apod, ale i místo lepidla na pleť, jelikož se mi s ním pracuje mnohem lépe. Skvěle drží, bez problému jde sloupnout z kůže, snadno se líčí. A ta cena? Super!
Awesome stuff. It was my first time working with latex, and not only was I thrilled with the Voldemort mask, but so were the kids at camp. The ammonia smell is bearable.
Super záležitost. S latexem jsem pracoval poprvé a z masky Voldemorta jsem byl nadšený nejen já, ale i děti na táboře. Čpavkový smrad se dá vydržet.
This is my second order. The first time I made a latex mask, I ordered the latex from a shop specializing directly in liquid latex and silicone, and I have to say that this latex is higher quality and even cheaper, which really surprised me. It dries well and is very easy to paint with acrylics. I'll only be ordering latex from this shop from now on, I highly recommend it :)
Objednávám už podruhé. Poprvé jsem dělala masku z latexu a objednávala latex na obchodě specializujícím se přímo na tekuté latexy a silikony a musím říct, že tento latex je kvalitnější a dokonce i levnější, což mě velmi překvapilo. Dobře zasychá, dá se velmi dobře barvit akrylovými barvami. Latex budu objednávat už jen z tohoto obchodu, můžu jen doporučit :)
