What is a foam latex prosthetic?

It's a liquid latex that is whipped into a foam consistency, then poured/injected into a mold and baked in an oven to cure. Once opened and set, you have a soft pliable piece that can be adhered to the skin and mimics movement and expressions.

What materials are needed to apply one?

Adhesive

Either will work: Spirit Gum, Pro-Adhesive, Liquid Latex etc./to glue on prosthetic.

 

Makeup

RMG (rubber mask grease), Theatrical, Airbrush etc./whichever you're comfortable using. Makeup brushes, sponges, q-tips, powder etc.

Remover

Choose one that is compatible with the adhesive you're using. There are many adhesives & removers on the market, not all will work together.

Can I reuse it? How many times?

It depends on the prosthetic piece and what it's being used for. Some pieces are thinner than others. Each use will cause a little more wear and tear on it. It also depends how patient and careful you are during the removal process. That being said, here's what we have told people:

Film-A fresh piece for each shoot is preferred by most movie makers, especially if they are shooting in HD and are doing closeups.

Theatrical Productions

Depending on the length of the production and the actors, usually 2-4 times.

Haunters/Scareactors

We've been told that some scareactors have used their pieces 10-20 times. Most of them take very good care of their pieces because they love their characters.

For the Average User

We typically tell them 2-4 times. There again it all depends on how you remove and care for it.
