  • Can u paint over it?

  • @TheHamashwan Yes :)

  • What type of plaster bandage did u use? I can't find the right one.

  • @din90ify I have no idea as to what the brand name is... i tend to remove them out of the packaging they come in & into a sealable plastic bag. Any kind you pick up at an art store should be the right ones, and if you're not sure ask the people who work there, talk to them about what you're looking to do and they should point you in the right direction :)

  • the best vid iv every seen

  • very goood and usefull

  • LOL "wrapping up the video" your such a punster! ^_^ 

  • (I sanded down to the shape I wanted, completely ignoring the gauze strings that were popping out in some places, and then used a paintbrush to apply super glue to the strings to smooth them back down. Then applied 2 coats of polyurethane which I'm HOPING will smooth it out to the point that once I paint over it, it will look smooth. If that doesn't work then I'll use the paper mache method on the other mask I still have. I'll let you know how it turns out. :)

  • @whatywhaty

    Thanks for the quick reply! I checked out your links and that look really good. I kinda went "duh" to myself after you said that because I can't believe I've never thought of it! I'll have to try it next time. Actually, I still have the 1st mask I could try it on if my latest method doesn't work! But what I tried after pouring a thick layer of plaster on last night is today I used a Dremel and sanding sponge and sanded it down a lot and then poured polyurethane on it. We'll see!

  • @OneLitFirefly Hmmm, that's a tough call... have you considered just going over the mask with paper mache? That's what i use when i want to smooth a surface out. It isn't -perfect- but it can come pretty close, especially if you paint over it afterwords. I use wallpaper paste to apply very, very thin strips of newspaper to the base, to build a new layer on top of what's already there. I'll message you a link to a flickr image to show you what i'm talking about :)
