Looking to get started, I've been looking into buying the stuff i need, some sheets and trim, adhesive, solvent and talc.

Open to any pointers on where to get any of it in UK and a decent price but I'm really struggling to find talc??? Everything that comes up is just talc free baby/body powder haha 😅

Also looking for clarification on what to use to rubberise zips, liquid latex, but are there different kinds? Is the stuff you would use for prosthetics suitable?

Thanks in advance guys, been browsing this subreddit for a few days now and everything I've seen is really inspiring and has really encouraged me to give this a go!

I ordered a bolero from Westward bound that will have white trim. I know they use 4D latex. I want to make a skirt that will have white trim--and I have 3 yards of Radical Rubber's white to use. I'd really rather not order more white, so I'm wondering how close in shade the two are? I'm hoping given the distance between the bolero and skirt that any minor differences would not be noticeable. Thanks.

P.S. I unfortunately need to start on the skirt soon so that I'll have time to finish it. Thus, I can't wait for the Westward bound outfit to arrive to compare and contrast.
