Casting Metallic Latex Lace

Casting Latex Lace is super fun...and it's even MORE fun when we can add metallic shimmer and shine.

A few important points to keep in mind:

1. Do NOT attempt this with a Silicone Caulk. The material will bond permanently to the silicone mold, and you'll be very sad.

2. Latex Caulk is not suitable for molds that are deeper than 1/4". The latex won't cure properly, and you'll be left with a gooey mess.

3. Wipe down your tools with a paper towel prior to washing them with soap and water. You don't want gobs of latex stuck in your plumbing!

4. Use standard adhesives to apply Latex Lace to your projects. Tacky Glue is perfect for Mixed Media Applications. A good quality Wood Glue is appropriate for Furniture Applications.

{The Prima Art Ingredients Rust Mica Powder has been discontinued. Bummer. But, I link to a comparable gold mica power below.}

You'll need a few specialty items for this technique.
