Spfx Mask - evil - 04-29-2009
hi,for those who have a spfx mask, is that when you put a long time, that does not sting your eyes? <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":unsure:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"unsure.gif\" /> It arrived yesterday, I wore it for long periods. Today my eyes STILL sting.Any thoughts?

Yes, I own the vamp and the clown, my eyes also stung for a while after I took it off. I think it is from the pressure of the mask against your eyes because it is so tight. What I did was I trimmed the eyes on the mask, and that helped. Be very careful not to trim to far. Trim very small edges of the eyes, I repeat, "very small" areas at a time. I went too far on my clown, didn't ruin it, but there is a very small void space on the outside of my right eye when I wear it. Be sure to turn the mask inside out when you do this. Good luck, I know these masks are expensive but the SPFX masks are made for wearing and not to wear it would be a travisty. Let us know how this works out for you.If trimming the mask does not appeal to you call SPFX there number is on there web site, possibly rusty has some insight. they have been very helpful to me in the past.Mike

Naw, every persons eyes are aligned differently. The mask could just need a little trim. Either that or sweat is going into your eyes.

You can also slightly fold down the eye area (tuck it in) if you don't want to trim it w/ cuticle scissors. It may still bug you though... I prefer cutting so that it's comfy when wearing, just take your time and do it clean.
