Sexy Pipes

I was discussing with another piper, the use of neoprine liquid inside of bags/bellows. But I’m wondering if the liquid latex that I imagine sex shops sell for sado-masochist stuff might do the same thing but cheaper and with greater availability.

I’m afraid that I don’t have experience with either of these substances, and I don’t know how they might measure up to one another for the stated purpose.

Now, so I can actually GET a response to this, allow me to state that an answer does not carry meaning, implicit or explicit, that said answering piper has experiences with said liquid latex. :laughing:

Liquid latex in S/M shops? Bagpiping?

not sure about latex, but baby oil is hard to get off your hands just befor a gig? :devil:

:laughing: , Doc!

Can you imagine the look on the face of the shopkeeper?

“You want latex… for your bag?!? Sure, buddy, whom am I to judge?”

“Do you have liquid latex?”
“Sure. Walk this way.”
“If I could walk that way I wouldn’t need the latex!”

I just used some latex from a railroad hobby shop this weekend to make a mold for some resin decorations. As it comes out of the bottle, I think it may be a little thick for pouring into your bellows. You might want to thin it down with a little water, or a water amonia mix. The body paint type of latex should be thinner, but I don’t think it will hold up as well and it tends to adhere to itself. Hang out at a goth club and you see latex kids get stuck toogether when hugging. Looks like a Rick Baker workshop.

P.S. The resin ate the latex and left the decorations covered in a nasty goo that looked like a neon sinus infection.

anybody tried with "tire-repairkit, somekinda latex etc. in spraybottle?
(yes yes take your reed out first, and don’t overblow bellows and bag)

Geez, “Fix-a-Flat”? I’d-a never have even thought of that. Intersting idea, though. Might work better on synthetic bags.

Oh, I wouldn’t DARE use that stuff… I’ve read where it’s bad for TIRES, so imagine what it’s doing to a hide bag.

:astonished:

Many people are allergic to latex. Try a vinyl-based substitiute instead.
