rubber luv also do chlorination, and although I haven't had any of my stuff done by them, the pieces I've seen that they've chlorinated were really good. | |

I highly recommend Gord at Catalyst Latex for chlorination. I've sent a catsuit to be chlorinated and love the result. All my clients can into it without talc and dressing aid which means less mess for me to clear up. In fact I have another 3 suits that I intend to send to him in the New Year. I have also bought some opera gloves that he chlorinates before sending out to you. Excellent. Brilliant. *thumbs up* Home chlorination is a pain. If you have stacks of stuff to do then making up the mix on a wind free day in your sizeable garden with miles of washing line isn't an issue. Otherwise get Gord to do it.

I've chlorinated a couple of things at home, roughly following Gord's instructions. No problems apart from realising that the bleach must be fresh. Old bleach doesn't work. | |

I'm a creative cheapskate so make a lot of my own rubber. Chlorination is a chemical process that I wouldn't trust myself to carry out competently - the risk of damaging hours or work put into making something is second only to the potential pain of ruining something that cost a fortune! I also know catalyst latex do chlorination and I've had a great lastminute.com service from them recently so will recommend them based on that. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing properly - if your brave or an expert, go for - otherwise call in the professionals. | |

You can still shine it but it will never shine as much as untreated latex. You have to decide what your priority is. Easy to put on with a permanent satiny shine or hard to put on with a glassy shine after using blue milk or vivishine. Vivishine is the best shiner there is. A tiny bit goes a long way and it leaves a wonderful shine with a slight greasy feel that also aids putting it on and taking it off.

We barely noticed a difference between the shine before and after chlorination when we use Vivishine.......check our pics out, you do still get a high gloss so don't be too concerned on that. | |

From the warnings in Gord's instructions I was expecting something akin to WW1 gas warfare when I mixed the acid and bleach into the bucket. Possibly even a yellow-green choking cloud chasing me across the garden. In fact it was all remarkably tame. Please don't take that as an excuse to abandon all safety precautions. A lungful of chlorine is not nice; a splash of bleach or acid in the wrong place can hurt or damage clothes. | |

No, chlorination doesn't work on items with lube or shiner on it. They need to be cleaned thoroughly, in the washing machine is fine on a gentle wash. |
