PROCESSING RECOMMENDATIONS

SAFETY FIRST Keep Out of Reach of Children

BE CAREFUL - Avoid use if you have known allergies to natural latex. Avoid contact with eyes. Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Remove from skin with waterless hand cleaner followed by soap and water. Children should not use thisproduct without adult supervision.

GENERAL PREPARATION:

Do not allow HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ to freeze. The material will not be usable. Store and use material at room temperature 23°C. This product has a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible. Colder temperatures will slow the working/cure time, while warmer temperatures will reduce working time. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk.

PREPARING THE MODEL:

Anyone with known latex allergies should not use cured, or uncured, latex directly against the skin. If they are not sure, always do a small scale test by applying a small amount to the insideof the model’s arm to test sensitivity to latex or ammonia. If a rash does appear, simply remove the latex coating by washing thoroughly with mild soap and warm water and avoid using liquid latex on the skin again.

HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ will bond to body hair. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that any part of your model’s body to be dipped, or coated, or painted with HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ should be free of body hair. If you do get liquid latex into your hair, it is best removed in the shower with a generous amount of soap to help lubricate the latex coating enough to gently slide off of the embedded hairs. Apply a liberal coating of any good moisturizing lotion just before applying the liquid latex to the skin can help facilitate easy removal after use. HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ should not be applied over the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ is intended for external use only and refrain from applying it on inflamed, patchy, acne-prone, and damaged skin.

APPLYING,CURING & REMOVAL:

APPLYING THE RUBBER

HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ may be used with a sponge, fingers or a brush. Apply directly to the skin. You may thin the HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ with approximately 1% of distilled water to allow it to flow through an airbrush system.For best results, typically several coatings are applied. Each latex coating will quickly cure at body temperature, usually in about 5-10 minutes after initial application or a hair dryer can be used to speed up the process. HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ will naturally shrinks approximately 3%, creating that “second skin” sensation. Once the desired thickness is achieved bybrushing on multiple layers, the HX-COSMETIC LATEX™ can be lightly powdered to avoid it sticking to itself or makeupcan be applied to color it with the surrounding skin.

REMOVING THE RUBBER:

Start off by rinsing your hand under warm water. You can either use a soap or a body wash, both works well. Lather your hand or the painted area with good amount of soap. Massage the area thoroughly with a scrubber or your hands. This will help peel off latex from your skin smoothly. Start pulling latex away from your skin, but do it gently without damaging your skin. Keep a warm cloth handy to soothe your skin while peeling it off. A general rule-of-thumb is, the longer it stays on your skin, the more easily it comes off. This is because the oil and perspiration on your body will loosen the latex
