Wooden mask stands?

Google the original Halloween 5 mask and some Don Post The Masks from the 80’s. Those sat on styrofoam. I’m not trying to be a smart-a** here, but there is definitely some proof that these draw the moisture out of latex and accelerate the rot setting in. It is after all a natural material. Also this is long term use, so a few years probably won’t condemn a mask. Just risky business.

I’m not gonna tell ya to use them but I think it’s all a myth. With the quality of latex used today by indie artists unless u purposely try to melt a mask ur gonna be fine. I have a few pricey pieces on foam heads I have zero concerns it will affect them.

I was just watching a video the other night on YouTube of some guy who has some masks that he has had for years on Styrofoam heads and it has caused the latex to harden and all over the years.

I’m thinking about getting one of these for my Myers masks

Those work great, there almost exactly like the ones I use to create my busts.

Nice! Here is my H6 replica mask:

Where do you find those at? What is it made of?

Yes, there are a rotocast plastic, you can get them on amazon also.

You’re absolutely right. In fact, that sped the process up. That is apparent by the not-so-great condition it is in in Part II 1981. So, I won’t argue with you there. Either way, why take the chance, you know?

The original hero mask and the h5 hero were also used and abused on a movie set everyday. The og mask in 2 films. Imagine all the sweat and oil that seeped into that latex over the decades. I’m sure they were never properly cleaned or powdered after use. They went thru stuff on those sets I’m sure no normal mask will ever go thru. And who knows what condition they were kept in at all times. I would personally blame that for them breaking down more than a foam head.

Where did you find that? Great for making a bust.
