I then used a Dremel to sand and clean up all the edges, remove any sharp bits from the inside, then cut out the eyes.Īt this stage the mask is totally stable and very tough. That should be enough to make a really strong mask.

I used one layer of tissue matt followed by one layer of coarse matt. Once this had all cured fully, I removed the masking tape support strip from the rear and began the process of adding Fibreglass to the inside.

The card will become an integral part of the resin and make it almost unbreakable. You should see the resin 'soak' into the card making it translucent, this is exactly what we want. Make sure that the card is well covered in resin. This strengthens the card enormously and allows the heavier treatment it will get later. I gave the mask two coats on both the inside and the outside. So the next step is to coat the card structure with resin. The card structure does not have enough strength on it's own for any meaningful use.
