in How To Make A Latex Rubber Mask Part 2
Just wondering if you guys have any tips for latex mask making in 3d printed non porous molds. Like how many layers of latex to put in before I demold, I only have a negative mold. I also think I could make a foam filled latex positive, (a plug I heard it is called), and create a plaster mold off that. The mask I am making is a half mask, I will attach hair too. I am making a copy, of a Mitzi Mozzarella mask, from the animatronic show the rock a fire explosion, any tips would be helpful.

    With a printed mold you will want to paint layers of latex in one at a time, rather than dwelling like you would in a stone mold.  How many layers you paint depends on how strong/heavy/flexible you want the mask to be.
