painting latex rubber?

[patton1942]

Hi All first post here does anyone know what paint to use on latex rubber I make rivers but have not found the secret to keep the paint on ?

thanks for any help.

Quite simple.

Mix some paint into some brushing latex and "paint" with that( Use an old brush that you will throw away after). The latex paint will stick and won't peel off later.

I found that if i stop wearing it in kinky underware the paint was quite happy to stay on!

Indeed can you mak moulds? ie of rocks etc?

using latex for moulds is a really uneffective way... i bought it when I started making moulds and it was a pain.... Silicon rubber is a hundred times better!

yeah, try using color mixed with latex!

Back in the old days when I buildt LARP weapons I used to pour acrylic colours into the latex. The colours won't be WYSIWYG, but a lot whiter than what they'll turn out once dry.

I wouldn't recommend it to build rivers though. Just paint the river the colour you want on the flat surface of the Terrains base. Then add transparent silicone and tap it with an old spoon to get waves. Let it dry for three days or so and finally drybrush with white.
