Subject: [Puptcrit] Foam Latex v/s Latex


Hi,

Can anybody tell me what is the difference between Foam Latex and Latex?I generally use Latex for my puppets.But I am now interested in trying Foam Latex.I have heard that it is more flexible.I want to have a flexible mouth movement for my puppets.I want to use animatronics for the eye-lid and eye-brow movements.I want to use either a cable or radio control.

I have also heard that Foam Latex is flexible and one needs to insert a paper-mache or a fibre mould inside the latex cast to hold the head.I think so Team America and Spitting Image have used Foam Latex.

So pls let me know which solution is best for me.

Any advice would really help me.

Pls visit my website www.vpuppets.com 

Thanks
Ramdas Padhye, INDIA.
