How to Use Ben Nye's Clear Latex

Apply Clear Latex to the skin using a latex sponge, stipple sponge, or a disposable applicator. To build liquid latex up on the skin, layer with cotton and tissue. Once dried, seal latex with a layer of Castor Sealer and utilize FX Cremes to apply color. For texture, stipple over tissue paper on skin. For peeling skin effects, apply over a barrier cream and peel away once dry. 

To remove the latex, start by soaking the area with a hot towel, and follow up with Ben Nye's Bond-Off adhesive remover and Quick Cleanse.

⚠️ Important Storage Warning
