The last time I even looked for latex, in the '90s, it was .00 per
gallon, and since it mostly evaporates away, you don't end up with a
gallon of rubber by volume. Urethanes were also about per gallon
and every ounce is kept as solid rubber. Where are you and what is
latex's cost?
I don't think molds shrink, but they might distort.
Urethane and silicone also show every fine detail. Latex's main
benefit is, it's almost impossible to rip.
