So sorry, Bill. I forgot the most important part. You are correct. Use vinyl
gloves, not latex when handling platinum silicones. Do not use latex bald
caps. Latex (sulfur) will inhibit curing. Thanks Bill for reminding use all!

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.
