Hi,
Yes this can be used to create resist effects and patterns on bisqueware. An alternative product is RM1060 Wax Emulsion that will allow you to create similar effects.
Hope this helps!

Hi. I made a mould for a stop motion puppet from plaster and I would like to know if this latex can be used by filling a mould with it or it can only be used by painting thin layers on a sculpture? The puppet's thickest part is the head, about 3-4cm. Also would I need a thickener for this or I can use it as it is even if the time for drying is longer?
Thank you!
Kind Regards,
Emily Ivanova

Latex is normally brushed onto the surface however you could fill a mould if you wish. Latex is mostly made up of water, when applied you are waiting for the water to evaporate and leave the rubber therefore drying will depend on many factors like thickness, room temperature etc.

Liquid Latex makes very economical, strong and durable strip-off moulds for the casting of plasters, cements and waxes. Moulds are made by either dipping or by painting on layers of latex onto the original to build up to the required thickness. As Latex cures when it dries the thickness of the layers, the room temperature and the item being cast will have a bearing on the casting time.
