We have pulled masks that were both fan and air dried and seen no difference between them. It is possible that there would be a slight amount of shrinkage, but latex tends to do that no matter what you do. Also, there are many different brands and types of latex in this world, and it all depends on what kind you are using. I\'d rather be able to pull out a mask the next day then have to wait two or three days just because the mask might shrink a tiny little bit. Many companies fan dry their masks, especially ones that have to get a lot of them out quickly. Arnold from Monster Makers told us about using a fan, and I even believe that Justin does that same thing. When you need to get things done "fast" to fill all your orders, this is a great way to do it. Hell, some people even dump baby/talcum powder into their molds to dry up the latex. You should see how many you can manage to pull out doing this.
