Sure! Start here:

Some of the information (about glue especially) is different from how we do things. There are regional differences between North American rubber crafters and European.
There are a lot of different ways to work on a curved seam, some people stretch the top part while the bottom layer is laying flat on the table. I personally like to run the curved seams off the table with the seams running along my index fingers of each hand and slowly rolling them into each other with my hands in a reverse prayer position. (see my next post for a video of this)
In the end, you’ll need to try a bunch of curved seams and discover which technique works best for you.
Short tips:
There are workshops by Ego Assassin clothing… and they are also working on a series of video tutorials (coming out about one every 2 months).
Best of luck, and welcome to the latex crafting club! It’s fun.

A nice article about getting started in making latex by Mistress Calico: Visit her Blog for the full article
I started making latex clothing out of stubbornness. Surprise, right? I didn’t like its expensive, impractical and finicky reputation. In particular I took offense to the notion that it could only be made by skilled craftspeople working in top-secret European laboratories…

LASER UPDATE: Mini Project - Stars and Star-Trim
We have been playing with getting the settings just right for our new laser cutter in preparation for offering custom laser cutting services to anyone who wants to add amazing latex overlays to their work.
We now fully understand why so few laser cutting businesses will cut latex for designers… The smoke is very stinky (we have a multi-thousand dollar filtration system in place to scrub the air to clean and breathable again) and the latex leaves a goopy residue on the sheeting and the laser bed when cut. So there is set up, clean up, and equipment needs to cut latex properly. Not every laser cutting house will be able to handle this, or want to do the work once they know how tricky it is.
That said, we’ve got it pretty much nailed down now. We are just working on the details for setting pricing for custom work and developing some stock overlays for general sale. We should have that online in the next week.
Wooo!
Thanks so much! Because of what you do, this is now what I can do!
I have four more yards of latex on the way! Weeeee!

(Those are hearts.) :D

Note from Elastica Engineering: We’re always super happy to see people all proud of their projects in latex! Great job on everything!
