    You made a $30.00 batman mask into a $130.00 mask. Great video sir.

      Thanks. I'm really glad this video has been helping people get their inexpensive masks turned into something they can truly enjoy and be proud of.

    That was a awesome tutorial. I recently got duped and received a latex Mandalorian mask that came in an 8" x 8" envelope when they advertised it as PVC. I have no experience with this so I used a hair dryer and fixed the worst of it. Thanks to your tutorial I will be able to fine tune the repair process and make the mask look great. Thanks!

    Absolutely a video worth watching.
    Thank you
    Edit; I keep the nylon hoserie piece on the manikin head for display under the mask. Mine is a bit thicker of latex/rubber, it started to loose its form and was close to cracking. I panicked a bit, filled the sink with hot water and dish soap...brought it back nicely.

    OMg. I have had this same cowl for years and the ears are just a mess. I am definitely going to do this to my cowl. Thank you so much for this video!

    Nice video, this is a must watch, most people don't understand these costumes are typically made overseas and don't get shipped on a protective manikin head. 👍

    Thank you for this video. I just purchased my first latex mask and it looks like a dump truck ran over it. At least I know now why that is and how to fix it so it will look like it did on the site.

    Awesome video!! I recently purchased a 2018 Michael Myers mask and it is very snug on my big head and nose. Trying to over stuff it to stretch it as much as I can but am thinking of trying just a little heat. It’s not unbearably right, just need a little bit more room. Maybe a haircut will do the trick. That or a nose job.

    have you thought of using plasti dip to making the mask less shiny and to give it extra durability? just a thought.
