Repairing A Mask

[🪦 TallDarkandDisfigured ●]

Thanks Snowman! I\'m enjoying this project, and hope the owner will be happy with the results. It\'s my first attempt so it\'s a trial and error kinda run..

So I switched to paper towel as a reinforcment for the latex. It absorbs alot more latex and is working very well. I have 4 layers of patching inside the neck.

I decided to work on the slit on the outside of the neck. This is a bit tricky. I want to make the slit disappear(it\'s solid inside, but visible from outside..) I tried running a small amount of latex in with my finger. Results are so-so... I\'m going to work on the appearance of the repair to remove the lines in the latex. Gotta match it to the rest of the mask...



Then I patched in a bit of the eye hole. Used the same method as the neck for the inside patch, then worked from the outside. Used paper towel soaked in latex to form the repair. Hard to see in the pic (flash washed out the detail) but it is a great start. Once dried up I can finish it off with a bit of latex work.


Got a couple other small spots to repair after I get all this straightened out.. Check back soon!
