A Ape / monkey / yeti prosthetic mask (unpainted)

RUBBER LATEX PROSTHETICS

***the rubber latex style facial prosthetic is a basic style and is a hollow piece – and can be packed out with cotton wool if necessary. Liquid latex are strong and durable and very re-useable.

These are made from latex and will come in a plain latex tone (which is an off yellow-ish tone)

Another option isin foam latex.

Foam latex is soft and spongey and moves with facial expressions.
It’s not often re useable .

You can see the difference between latex rubber and latex foam here

It may come with some patching- where there may have been faults that will be fixed. It may be discoloured but you can still paint over it just normal and fine.

You can see me apply prosthetics on my YouTube which help know how to apply them-

There may be the exact prosthetic applied there – or something to help guide you.

Now for further valuable information and most asked about questions

– Materials you can use to apply –

Paint

Unfortunately, all the items I sell are plain colours and cannot be pre-painted – I suggest you paint them using, grease paints, pax paints. Acrylic paints or creams. Water based colours are known to work too.

Adhesive

You can use any prosthetic adhesive such as Spirit gum, Matix, Latex, Telesis, Pros aide, Aqua FX, or Snappy G, it all depends on the budget you have. I highly recommend aqua FX as a cheap but good adhesive, however if you have a high budget and the prosthetic must stay in place for an extended period, I recommend pros aide Telesis or pros aide.

PS pros aide and pros aide cream also help to blend out any edges and to mix with acrylic paint to make pax paint.

How to apply those Instructions

1. Position the prosthetic, if necessary, cut to size and then powder around the edges, so you know where to place the adhesive against your skin

2. Place adhesive on the prosthetics and your skin

3. Add cotton wool to any hollow areas of the prosthetic to bulk out any of those areas (if necessary – not all pieces will need this step)

4. Press into place once the adhesive is tacky

5. Add latex / adhesive around the edge, pushing up to the edge to blend the edges,

6. Once the edges are dried, powder down to mattify the area

7. Paint over the top, to match skin tone / fantasy design and add any details using cream/ grease / pax / water colour paints

Postage / packaging

When will I post the item?

I aim to make and post the item within 3 days (on less busier periods it can be made and posted on the same day – however some items I only own one mould for, and when there are large orders of one specific design it can delay the making of that one specific style.

****** Please let me know if there is a specific date you want your items by- if it’s a short time – I can usually accommodate****

UK 1st class tracking

Packages will be tracked 1st class postage from the UK – tracking will be added when the item is marked is dispatched.

Next day delivery

If you want next day delivery its approximately £10 for a weekday or £16 for a weekend (for the UK) – if you want this option, then please request payment total after you have added item to the basket

Airmail from the UK

Airmail charges are more expensive for postage. Sorry but it is out of my control, and the estimated delivery is a minimum of 7-14 working days. However, there is express delivery of 2-3 working days but that costs up to £130 – if you want this service, please add your items to the basket and request for the new total costs. (After letting, me know you want this service of course)

Combined postage

I will combine postage, if the total isn’t taken off automatically at the basket, do send me a message or leave it in your purchase notes and I can refund any postage difference costs

Defects / issues

Please be aware that some of the prosthetics may look bumpy on the underside of it (the part you stick to your skin) as I hand stipple latex in layers, therefore it looks bumpy as it dries, however it will not affect the front of the design (- the side you will actually be painting)

Edges

The edges of the prosthetic can come thin or thick depending on how many layers have been done. Sometimes I leave a thin wispy edge on – it may seem scruffy to you, but the thinner wispy edge can be easier to blend into the skin. or if sometimes those edges are damaged when removing from the mould, the edges are cut and will look neater. No piece will ever be exact same to previous pieces even if it’s used from the same mould

Contact

If there are any issues or you are unhappy, please contact me first, if I do not answer immediately, please do not panic, I will answer. Please take note that I am a one-woman business, I am also a single mum, running a freelance business, which also means I do other work other than just making and selling these pieces, therefore some other things can affect me getting online to reply to you. I will reply and aim for your customer satisfaction. If you are concerned if I do not answer quickly enough, then follow ‘resolve issues ‘ sections through eBay, before leaving negative feedback please. (I previously was ill with tonsillitis and couldn’t get online and someone left me bad feedback as I could resolve their issue within one week! so please understand other things could potentially delay me)

Weekends

Please take in account that postage doesn’t count weekends and I also work away at weekends and that may delay my making time (not every weekend though)
