We’ve been experimenting with the idea of producing a camouflage latex. There’s a few ways to achieve the effect: you can cast liquid latex with a base color and try to pour on the darker colors in a camo pattern, or you could use latex paint to roll on patterns in different colors with a specially made paint roller, or you could use permanent fabric pens to stencil in the colors on a lightly colored base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Option one was risky and we didn’t want to take the time to build the molds to hold the latex, option two we had tried in the past and had trouble keeping the consistency of the paint as it rolls on plus we weren’t able to find rollers that could execute a camouflage pattern. BTW, if you want to try rolling designs onto latex you can find rollers on Amazon here: https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Patterned-Decorative-Embossing-Household-BK321R\/dp\/B0D5YFTV61<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we went with option #3 – permanent fabric markers (https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ARTISTRO-24-Fabric-Markers-Permanent\/dp\/B0D35S9WYT<\/a>) and camouflage stencils (https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/FINGERINSPIRE-11-8×11-8inch-Stencils-Camouflage-Painting\/dp\/B0BFLTPRV5<\/a>). The effect was good and from a distance you can’t tell that it was hand drawn. Up close you can kind of see that it was hand drawn, but who knows, maybe that adds to the effect. We thought it looked cool and we cut our camo latex into a racer back athletic top and took it to the gym to put it through it’s paces. <\/p>\n\n\n
