Mark,
I don't know what latex you are using but
mine dries in 15 minutes... which is much faster than
wax or whatever latex you are using. I use the water soluble latex.
Conversely I find the cold wax resist takes 24 hours not the latex.

I'm curious, I've started using latex instead of wax. I'm unsure why
it wouldn't be appropriate? Obviously I'm not the only one using it.
One of the really nice things about it is that if I do screw up, I
just have to wait till it sets and then peel it off. If my foot ring
(or my dragons horn ring) is a little off in one spot, I can cut the
dried latex with an xacto and then peel off the excess. I would
presume it would be perfect for what you need.

The only problem with latex is that it requires 24 hours to dry
instead of 1 as for wax.

Mark.
