And the powder went in and did not explode and did not cover everything around? Wow... On one hand I prefer talcum inside and outside, OTOH, it's difficult not to create white clouds.
With the exception of a pair of moulded translucent shoulder gloves I've never had that happen to a garment in getting on for forty years of rubberiness. Strange.
It begins with softening. Then it can go in two directions (sometimes simultaneously): it liquefies and turns into goo and/or dries and turns into flakes. Independent of the manufacturer (e.g. Simon O, a bunch of the UK companies). Regardless the chlorination. Same happens with the rubber in, say, lycra swimsuits. Also independent of the manufacturer (e.g. Wolford). I've no idea why... It's not the first bunch of decayed rubber 😟
Probably I need to wear it more often 😁 But there is almost no opportunity... Sometimes latex falls apart for no reason without decaying. And also independent of the manufacturer. I'm afraid I must admit that latex is not for me, despite all my love for it ...
Not sure, where to put this video, but the last few minutes are about cleaning and storing latex garments:

The main part of the video is about making latex clothes - an introduction actually. Except for the intro, it is straight to the point.
