   • Hi:
     I am sorry I can not help with adresses to buy latex i Norway. I live in Stockholm, Sweden and here its very easy to find it at Smink och Perukmakar?n, their telefon number is +46 8 643 11 12. In UK you can buy it from Tirantis. Their homesite is www.tiranti.co.uk If it is soft you can build it thicker layer by layer. Anycase to paint on latex you can use acryl paints mixed with a product called pros-aid that is used to glue prosthetics or bears and moustaches on actors make up. You can also mix the acryl paint with some liquid latex and it works good too. There are special paints to use in latex too and Julia at Smink och Perukmakar?n can help you with that but acryl paint is cheaper. Good luck. Augusto.
