You don\'t want to use news paper, the ink will rub off on the latex and make for an ugly time when you wear it. The paper also has acid in it that\'s not the best for latex, ans over time the paper will become britle and can make the mask buldge in weird places. What the idea is is a loose cloth like cotton, ie a t-shirt, or balled up plastc bags, the big black or green garbage bags are best I\'ve found. Stuff the mask pretty well, you want to support all the sides, then put the mask on a half filled 2 liter pop bottle, or a stand. If you put it on a bottle or stand without stuffing the inside, the mask will sag and develop a pin head buldge at the top.
