in other words, nothing bad will happen if i use this product about 2-3 hours a day, every day without washing my hands right? if yes, for example then, not that im looking forward to doing it but, i could spread this caulk all over me for the rest of the week and nothing bad is going to happen. when i say bad. i mean not required to go to the doctor or worse.Is it bad if i use ';all-purpose acrylic latex caulk'; for construction daily without washing my hands?
Acrylic/latex caulk will not hurt your skin if that's what you are asking. I wouldnt suggest that you rub it into your eyes, or swallow it tho, lol. -- I'll amend this to add -- it won't hurt as long as you're not allergic to latex.... most people aren't, but for those that are, they need to be careful handling it.
And to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria, you REALLY should be washing your hands often, lol.... you can even get 'waterless' soaps, like Germ-X, or Goop, etc, where you don't need any water, and they clean pretty well. I keep a container in my service vehicle so I can clean up, even when water is not available on site. (I also keep a bottle or two of water on hand)
Have FunIs it bad if i use ';all-purpose acrylic latex caulk'; for construction daily without washing my hands?
I don't get it... Are you saying that you are thinking of working on a job-site day in and day out, and not wash your hands at all? Yes, that would be bad. If you do not get sick from germs, you probably will ingest some chemicals and get sick that way...
If you are asking about allergic reaction to the caulking - no idea. That depends on the caulking, you, and any other things you might have touched. For example, most people are not allergic to Latex. They are allergic to the trace chemicals that are on the inside of the glove from the making and are then taped against the hand...
If you are using caulking 2-3 hours a day invest in some of the blue Latex Safegrip gloves by MicroFlex
If you ever decide to wash your hands use the ';orange'; soap that you can get at auto-parts stores, the stuff with the grit, and then wash with normal soap...
As long as you are not allergic to latex, I see no problem with its daily use. My painter's workers use this product daily and have never had a negative reaction.

Where do I go to learn how to make latex masks?
check out the link below.Where do I go to learn how to make latex masks?
Rhino's link is great, and online info is as cheap as it gets. Honestly, moldmaking and latex masks are going to get you in for more than $50 if you really get into it.
Did you just want online resources or classes to go to? If you want to go in person, look for people that will take free help. That way you might get some discards or keep a copy to paint on your own afterward. Check any local maskmaker shops or special effects artists or prop makers.
For starters, add youtube to your list of places to look for how-to info. BTW, if you get interested in the life-casting, take tons of precautions, and learn as much as you can. My best advice it to assist someone or have an experienced person to talk to. It's easy enough to get started, but there's certain things to know, and if you don't, it could get unhealthy or dangerous.Where do I go to learn how to make latex masks?

What is the best way to remove wall paint, latex, from carpet?
How much paint is it? If it's a big spot, there's probably not much you can do with it. If they are relatively small spots -- like drips while painting -- and if the carpet has a little pile to it, you can sometimes trim off the ends of the pile with good scissors and the paint with it.What is the best way to remove wall paint, latex, from carpet?
If it hasn't dried too long, you may try soap and water clean up. Otherwise just cut deep individual pieces out of it. Good luck.What is the best way to remove wall paint, latex, from carpet?
Try cleaning with a carpet steamer and use the hottest water out of your hot water tank as possible.

What is the difference between rubber nipples and latex nipples?
On my first daughter, I used only silicone nipples, they virtually never wear out. However my second born won't hear of anything like silicone. She seems to only want rubber. When I went shopping for rubber nipples, I found that they are nearly impossible to come across. Virtually nonexistant on store shelves, even Babies R Us. So, since the latex nipples look almost exactly the same, I figured they must be the same thing.
Well the baby knew I was wrong before I did! She won't take the latex nipples at all.
So, what is the difference between rubber and latex nipples, and why do the rubber ones swell up so much? Is it because I've been soaking them in dish water too long?
Thanks.What is the difference between rubber nipples and latex nipples?
The latex ones are a lot harder. I used the rubber on both my kids, but it was hard to find them by the time I weened my youngest. She hated the latex and if you try to squish them they are a lot harder. That may be why rubber swells more and why she likes them better because they are more pliable. Sometimes grocery or drug stores still have the rubber, you will pay more of course, but I went to those and stocked up when I could find them.What is the difference between rubber nipples and latex nipples?
Rubber and latex are one and the same..
Latex IS rubber. They just started calling it by its actual composition, which is latex. Just like condoms.

How do I know the Nuk size 3 latex pacifiers will be okay?
My baby girl is 17 months old and she is using the Gerber size 2 NUK silicone pacifiers. When she turns 18 months next month, I am planning on getting her the Gerber size 3 NUK pacifiers which are for ages 18 months to 3 years. However, they do not make the size 3 ones in silicone, they only make them in latex. I have heard that some people are allergic to latex. So how do I know that they will be okay for my baby. Or should I just keep on using the size 2 silicone ones?How do I know the Nuk size 3 latex pacifiers will be okay?
Editing ... because I just was a bit hypocritical. I get snarly when people are all ';Oh, you're horrible if you give your child X before age Y, they'll get an allergy and it'll be your fault!'; and then I went and did it to you over latex! The chances of a latex allergy are slim, slim, slim. Really, don't stress it. As I noted below, until recently all pacis were latex. Relax. You cannot live your life (or hers) avoiding every potential allergen. I would strongly suggest though that if she sucks on it all day and all night you try to wean her of this, limit her exposure. OR, try another brand. The size change isn't something she'll not notice, so try a different style at the same time?
--------------------------------------鈥?br>
(here's my original answer)
I would say keep using the size 2s and wean her off of them.
I don't suggest this because I have anything against pacis, or because I think she could be allergic to latex. She probably isn't. Some people are allergic to dogs, to milk, to peanuts, to carrots, to ... well, anything under the sun. Just because 'some people are allergic' isn't really a good reason to avoid something.
I say this because latex allergies are naaaasty. I don't mean to be an alarmist, but they develop and grow. Studies have clearly shown that even in people with no allergy, constant exposure can lead to it. Now, keep in mind that until recently silicone wasn't used for pacis and bottles. Just latex. And latex allergies amongst children weren't common and are still only common in kids who are frequently hospitalized. However, it is a growing concern amongst adults. So, I say, why start her down that road? Steer clear of latex, I suggest. It's not like other allergies - if you eat strawberries every day for a year you won't become allergic to strawberries. But latex exposure? You've got a good chance of it.How do I know the Nuk size 3 latex pacifiers will be okay?
The chance she is allergic to the latex is slim...
But you could also consider weaning her off of the pacifiers... and then you wouldn't have to worry about it either way.

How to deal with oil-based primer and latex color paint?
I'm painting the interior of my house. Without knowing the difference between oil-based and latex paint, I purchased oil-based primer, and primed a hallway and a room. My wife chose the walls' paint color and purchased a latex-based paint.
Is it OK to put interior latex paint on top of interior oil-based primer?
Or should we sand the walls, and start over with a latex-based primer?
It appears to be more difficult to get the color we want in oil-based, and web research seems to indicate that oil-based primer was a bad choice for vast regions of interior wall.How to deal with oil-based primer and latex color paint?
i am a painting contractor of luxury homes and yes you can paint latex over the oil primer...its the other way around you cant do....oil over latexHow to deal with oil-based primer and latex color paint?
Don't mix together.
Its a bad idea to attempt it, I've heard paint companies say it works and seen it work a few times but normally the latex peels right off. there's no reason to use oil base primer or paint unless its for expensive trim work or cabinets and even then your better of using a lacquer base primer that is sand able. you can use a alcohol or solvent based primer/sealer (such as kilz)over the oil primer and that should do the trick.
Oil base is pigment suspend in an oil based (or oil based solvent)liquid.
Latex is pigment suspend in water with latex (a form of rubber) to help it adhere.
water and oil dont mix well.
I don't see why it wouldn't work, in fact I think I've seen it done on ';This Old House.'; If there is problem because the latex doesn't stick to the oil, you can paint the area over with a product called liquid sandpaper.
the worst scenario
is oil over latex paint !
anyway , sand , skim coat the walls ,
and prime in latex,
and finish in latex.
and chalk it up to life experience.
and move on.
good luck.internet explorer
