    brush on the first layer of latex in the mold and when you pour your latex , you can use one of those air-duster thingys for your keyboard . i found that helps <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> mike,

    soak your mold down first with water, this will get rid of the air in the plaster if you dont do this the plaster will bubble/fizz in contact with liquid and will give yo airbubbles.Also a good idea to do a first coat by just putting a bit of latex in the mold and rotating it to ensure full coverage before filling the mold up.tapping/ vibrating the mold when filling and once filled will also help release any air bubble that may be trapped in any undercuts of the mold.hope that helps

    i have one of jeff death's old how-to tapes and he showed how to avoid air bubbles. i'm not sure how well it works, though, as i've never made a latex mask lol. anyway, he poured the latex in and rotated the mold to get an even coat. then he poured it back out. after that he used his airbrush to move the latex around inside the mold to remove any bubbles.the water soaking method sounds great to me though. soon i hope to get into latex mask making. so this will be useful to me as well.

    when I used to pour masks for mike, I'd fill the entire mold, dump out the latex, then attach an air nosel to my air compressor and use it to spray the latex all around the inside of the mold.this will usually distinguish the latex evenly and make sure that each tiny detail is filled with latex. I'm pretty sure I'd only do it to the first layer.
