I used Mehron Clear Liquid Latex after doing some research on cosplay forums to see what they tended to use with chalk paint. I only used it to make the grey chalk paint more flexible so that it wouldn’t crack or flake when moving the cloth around a lot. I just mixed a small amount in with the paint—it was a bit of trial and error on some test fabrics before I hit the right consistency.
For the bat emblem, the gloves and the boots I used black heatshrink tubing and was shocked at how useful it was. For the gloves and boots I cut it to the desired shape, slid it over the appendages and then hit it with a hairdryer until it was nice and snug. For the emblem I took the widest bit of heatshrink tubing I had, split it down one side so that it was one flat sheet and then shrank it as much as it would go with the hairdryer. Then I stencilled the bat symbol onto it and cut it out. Heatshrink comes in tons of colours so I have a feeling it’ll be finding its way into future projects in some interesting applications :D
Sorry that’s probably not much help with your project, but hopefully that info is useful to someone. If you plan to paint the patterns onto the costume while it’s on the figure I’d suspect fabric paint or acrylic (with some added latex or “textile medium” to make it more flexible) would be a good bet, using masking tape to mask off the areas you don’t want affected. I would definitely recommend looking into how cosplayers add patterns to fabric; there might be something there that you can adapt for your uses. Please let me know if you pick up any good tips!
