drywall mask will just make it worse..its for dust particles, not vapors.

Best thing to do is to do it outside.. maybee turn on a box fan so your not directly inhaling..

We at work are supposed to wear a gas mask when we weld Galvanized steel.. but eh.. freak it.. just turn on the fan and you learn to hold your breath..

Thanks JasonV, I\'ll do it outside next time. I didn\'t smell anything and the chems didn\'t come with anything that said anything, so I just mixed 2 to 1 and went to it.

Foam filling I heard is dangerous but that is only really if you are not in a well ventilated area & you are sticking your head above the mold to see if the foam is rising. Fill the mold slush it around real fast to get into the ears & under the chin etc & then put a bag over the mold & walk away give it 30 minutes before going to see what the foam looks like, your best bet is to over fill so you won\'t have to do a second batch but you can always do 2 coats poly urethane foam sticks to pretty much everything! where gloves & bad clothes. I have been using monster makers & FXwarehouse\'s foam for over 3 yrs & there foam works real well. Just don\'t do this in a small area best be is outside, I usually do it with my garage door open & the mold pretty much sitting out side the door. The chemicals are only hazardous once mixed & are starting to rise, in there raw form when just sitting befor mixed I believe they are safe but check with the supllier you are buying the product from about any safety tips.

lol..

When you weld galvanized.. you really cant smell it.. but you can feel it later.. it freaks up your nose, throat, and occasionally makes you sick on your stomach.. So you dont always smell the chems.. ive never smelled the foam.. but i bet its bad.. most 2 part chems usually are..

Dude? Are you referring to making a master from a mold or foam filling a mask? You\'ve lost me here.


Can I Get Some Help Please? - Mask Murderers - 04-01-2006

both, filling a mask when in the mold before you pull the mask is the best way using a soft urethane foam so you don\'t break anything in the mold, unless you have a silicone mold then you can use a rigid foam with no worries. Foam filling just a mask can be a pain & has to be done right or it will expand if the latex is not thick enough, your best best is to send masks to someone that know\'s how to do this so you do not ruin a mask, not saying you will but it happens. Expanding foam does not only raise up it pushes out so it can make your mask look like a whole new character which i guess is cool if you don\'t like the original piece LOL. yeah but what i said before is for both ways filling in a mold or out but I prefer to fill everything while in a mold to keep it\'s exact shape without making the mask distort in any way at all. Best of luck.

Thanks Bob, the bag over the mold is a good idea. I didn\'t do that.
