Use of Latex for Building Puppets - The metal components used to manufacture your Armature (brass & nickel plating) can cause a breakdown of any latex used to make your puppet. To prevent this happening you need to create a barrier between the metal and the latex. You can spray the Armature with a few coats of automotive primer or enamel spray paint to help seal the metal. The paint will scratch off the balls in the link plate assemblies when they are moved. For an additional layer of protection you can wrap areas in contact with latex with PTFE or cotton. Alternatively to avoid this issue you can use a Flexible Urethane Foam such as FlexFoam-It and this foam will not react with the metal components.

If you are thinking of Building Your Own (BYO) Armature please take a look at the BYO Component Assembly Page giving full dimensions of the major components and assemblies.
