Topic Subject : RE: hair encapsulation with Body Double or LifeRite? |
|
Good advice Ed..... Also, don't use latex gloves or a latex bald cap when working with silicone. I had curing problems with some silicones (mostly the ones you mix by weight) when handling things with latex gloves. I now use the blue rubber ones which are heavier and don't react to anything.
