Converting Latex Mask To Bust?

[🪦 detale78 ●]

I have foam filled numerous masks. The best bet is to leave the eyes uncut first. Place a trash bag inside of the head. Buy some 2 parts soft foam from a plastics store or ubholstry foam. The ratio is usually 1 part foam to 1/10 catalyst. Sounds alot harder than it really is. The foam will expand about 10 times bigger than what you pour so just start out with a little bit at a time. To much and you will have an erupting volcano of foam which is sticky and if not removed immediately can harm your mask. The point of the bag is so that the foam can fill the bag and not mask since if there is any small holes in the mask the foam can pour through. Also you can remove the foam if you ever decide you dont want it foam filled anymore. The foam will be soft but will fill the bag out which will mold to the mask shape. Make sure to foam fill the mask before painting since sometime the pressure off the foam can stretch the mask to much causing paint to chip. When you pour the foam make sure to slosh it around in the mask and not to let it just sit this is a much better way to ensure that to much foam will accumulate in one area. Once the mask is fully foam filled and is allowed to cure you can cut the eyes out with an exacto blade. If adding glass or acrylic eyes just push them into place and the foam will act as a support for them. You can also cut out some of the foam for a better fit. In the end result the mask will keep its shape and be semi soft but solid. I would greatly suggest soft foam and not hard foam since the hard foam takes the consistency of strofoam and is harder to work with. Make sure no matter what you wear a respirator and glaove s and try to avoid any contact with your skin and face. This stuff is perfectly safe once cured but as most products can be harm full in the liquid and curing stage. Any other questions and I'll be glad to share what I know as Ive learned from the best. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />
