How Long Do Your Masks Last?

[🪦 stainboy ●]

That\'s funny. I keep hearing all this negative stuff about newsprint, but I\'ve used it for 15 years and my masks are fine. They\'ve kept perfect shape and the print doesn\'t see mt obe visibly deteriorating the latex.

Am I in for a huge surprise?

I think I\'ll switch all of them to plastic.....er......

plastic or blank paper.

Plastic bags are what you want, they will conform to the masks shape. Newspaper over time will become britle and actually strech out, creating buldges in the mask. The ink is full of chemicals, but the only bad thing I\'ve heard it doing to a mask is rubbing off on the inside, which leaves you with black shit all over you face when you put it on, so no real worry there.

Good topic. I\'ve been wondering about a lot of this stuff myself. As far as baby powder goes, should you be pretty generous with it or just use a little?

i got a really old mask maybe the 60\'s or older i dont know my mom bought it to scare the crap outta kids on halloween and a long time later i was born and so-on and i am 15 now its really old and it is a werewolf mask maybe "chaney" or whatever the hair is intact and the paint it awesome and the latex still has all its eleasticity i usually brush or spray on some baby powder or talc keep it balanced open a window not to close and a humidifier not too close DONT USE NEWSPAPER i learned the same thing travvsall i stuffed a mask with newspaper and even today with the vegatable oils for ink it still rubbs off inside your mask and when you sweat with all that ink in it it gets quite nasty
