Look for latex monomer
I make the latex moulds the kids then get to fill them with plaster
It's a long slow process making the moulds requiring multiple coats if you make too thick it won't dry properly :crazy:

Ring the company that put that latex out. They will be able to send you a MSDS, and perhaps you can make a label from the information in the MSDS.

Wasn't the original question "What yr levels are ALLOWED to use latex?" ?

I wouldn't know, personally, coz we scoff at rules up here. :crazy:

I have the manufacturer's MSDS but it is not very helpful in determining the user group.
