Thin masks VS Thick masks.....

Michael-Myers.net General Discussion

Thin masks, thick masks, thin-ish thick masks, What do you prefer. Thick masks more than not last longer but wafer thin masks are more accurate but still last a good amount of time… I, myself like the thinner masks as your able to get different expressions much easier than a thick mask.

Which do you guys prefer.

2

i like thick masks,they dont curl at the neck and can stand up on their own without a stand.
i never really noticed any lack of detail,alough you are correct on angles and different expression.

3

Exactly, same thing I was thinking

4

Thin masks, without a doubt. You can’t have 100% authenticity without a thin pull. Or the best Castle look.

5

Thin, Because it makes me get the feel of Don Post masks… :slight_smile: The Hero feel.

6

I’d have to say that if I’m going to wear it, I would prefer a thin mask. Thick masks are better reserved for display pieces, as apposed to wearing. Thin masks are a bit harder to display properly :slight_smile:

7

yes i agree thin is more comfy and high detail,yet i very rarely wear mine only on SAMHAIN every year :smiley:
plus when i go to put them on i get a fear of ripping them,cuz i got a big frankenstieen skull :laughing: :laughing:

Agreed. I like wearing the thinner masks, as well as the fact that they are more accurate. Thicker masks are great for displays but uncomfortable to wear and they don’t hang right on the face IMO… but that’s just me.

9

And I must agree also :drinkers:

10

I tend to try to get masks at about a medium pull when I do them. I find that you can get the benefits of less curling and the like at the necks by adding just a little more weight so they are still nice and comfy.

11

For only display Thick pull.
Wearing wise medium thin is my preference.

12

i prefer thick masks for display purposes but thin/medum thick for wearing because of the temperature and comfort :wink:

13

I like thick pulls do to the fact that I never wear the masks. I’m not the type to spend upwards of $450 to wear them and let them deteriorate fast. The only exception is I want a Buried, and I want to wear that mask, even though it’s this as a balloon. I’d much rather prefer to let it lice a few years longer than to have it “accurate” and only last a couple years.

14

I guess it depends on what I plan on doing with the mask. I really love the thin pulls for that cheap, vintage feel… but the thicker pulls seem to display for me.

15

i agree,i was just a bout to say the same thing.EDC

16

I prefer thick masks. They last longer, are easier to display, and you don’t have to worry about them ripping or anything

17

I really like the thin masks, but the thick ones display well.

18

I prefer thin masks. You can pull off a more accurate look with a thin mask.

19

Thin for me. I prefer thin masks mainly because i like the accuracy. -tom.

It all depends with myself,
but I like my kirks thin :smiley:
