Liquid latex supplier anywhere?

Post by Monkeypaw »

Hi guy's, thought I'd ask here as there's a wealth of local knowledge on prop building.

I'm looking for some liquid latex about 100ml in toto & I've only been able to source it by the vat so far, which is a tad more than my needs are.

Just wondered without having to import it if any one knows of a NZ source & could share?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

hey monkeypaw I've got some at work that we used last year. I'll try and remember to track it down and get a supplier for you. I have almost no short term memory at the moment but I'll do my best :blink:

Also Gordon Harris has thickened and regular latex (I prefer thickened) and I think TAS Arts in Takapuna and quite probably the French Art Shop in Ponsonby :)

I know, looking online for product here is horrible! I found most of this by wandering and asking at the counter ;) Gordon Harris also has a shipping service (they are at least North Island wide) and are very cheap in that regard. Pretty fast too. It's cheaper in time and money overall for me to have it couriered than it is for me to travel to the city to get it ;)

Thanks oota if you could that would be great, if & when you remember just drop me a pm. :cool:

Thanks Hamyoyo I'll check them out in the meantime. :)

mdb wow you've got retailers coming out the kazoo compared to whats available in the BOP area, I might have to get a long shopping list together & make a day out of it in the AUK area.
