I love this lady, she's a breath of fresh air. I have never been more interested in Arduino til I watched her channel. Keep up the awesome work! Cheers from Texas.

I will be using this tutorial for painting my own latex masks. I have old showbiz pizza animatronic masks that I have to paint.

Those Showbiz Pizza animatronics are so cool - they were the best part of my childhood birthdays!

@@RachelDeBarrosLive that’s awesome, I wish I could of experienced them in their prime. If you want a little trip down memory lane, I have some videos related to them. (Be warned, it reveals all the mechanics, so if you don’t want the magic ruined 🤣) I am in the process of finishing them up though.

Thank You for posting this video. Always wondered how the paint sticks to latex rubber. Great tutorial!

So far, I've found that the 50/50 liquid latex and acrylic paint is the most beginner-friendly and budget-friendly way to do it!

Great video! I had a question tho, if I'm using rubber cement paint, what type of seaker should I use? Any paint sealer? Because I'm thinking if it is a non flexible one, then all the work with the flexible paint is ruined.

Looks really great Rachel, I just discovered your channel We having the same interests in Arduino. I have taken the time to watch a few of your videos. Well done! Thx for sharing.

India ink with alcohol is what I would use, not paint so it won’t have the chance of flaking at all. However, there is no going back to a clean slate, so definitely start with lighter colors and finish with the darker colors

India ink is a great idea! I'll have to give it a test run the next time I have to paint a mask.

Hello hello! Loved your videos , If I use liquid latex and acrylic paint, do I need to seal it too? And if so with what?

Could ready to go latex mask paint or 50/50 liquid latex and acrylic be the brushed with a mop mouilleur brush 1/2 in small amounts?I have a Halloween ends Myers mask with small details that were covered up with the stock paint but now I don’t want to risk accidentally covering up the smaller details

I'm so ready to experiment on my test mask- half mask will be oil and naptha... the other half will be acrylic and liquid latex... I'm totally vibrating with anticipation!! 😂😂🎉🎉

I can't wait to see what method ends up winning!

Well there's a different kind of project, or obviously one I haven't seen yet. Reminds me of grade school art class but with a much more attractive teacher. I'm certainly more interested in the animatronics. When will you be digging into that?? AH....

I have a question I want to use rubber cement glue to re paint a latex mask. the color isn't totally accurate to the real thing when it arrived.. So my question should I apply the rubber cement separate or can I mix in with my paint and apply at once?

I just have question dose the same thing work for masks if you want to were ?

Yes it does! If you plan on wearing a store-bought mask that doesn't have a great paint job, you can paint it using this exact same technique and once it dries, you can put it on for Halloween, theater, or any costume and you don't have to worry about the paint chipping or flaking off.

@@RachelDeBarrosLive I have a another question if I use 1/3 water and laytex and acrylic will it work as well

I got a question. If I wanted to run one of the latex mixtures through an airbrush, how would I thin it down? Water?

@RachelDeBarrosLive

3 ай бұрын

Yes, you can thin all the recipes I mentioned down with water to use in an airbrush - EXCEPT the Rubber Cement + Oil Paint + Solvent. For that one you just add more solvent until you get the consistency you like.

For rubber cement paint your website says 30/50/20 Rubber Cement + Oil Paint + Solvent (Naphtha) but your video shows different. Which is the right ratio?

@RachelDeBarrosLive

4 ай бұрын

If you are painting with a paint brush, then the ratio on the website is a better starting point. The ratio in the video is more appropriate for air brushes. Thanks for pointing that out 👍 I'll update that both on the website and video description!

Ok thanks I use both the paint brush and an iwata airbrush. Ratio with the 50% oil pigment had my attention. I never used that much because oil take forever to dry but I'll try it. Liquid latex hard to get this time of year without shipping and freezing.
