I was running into issues of not able to create a consistent and even coat for my dipping test and the solution ran off the mold quite often. As a result, the film it end up producing has weak spots and easy to break when stretching. I learnt that in latex manufacturing process, they use chemicals to adjust the concentration of the latex to produce a homogenous and consistent solution for dipping.
Therefore, I adjusted the concentration of my solution and successfully got a very even coating with no running problems. The film resembles an ultra thin polyurethane condom and can hold water without breaking.
