FAQ Content

This tutorial shows how to make a latex Batman mask, cast from a plaster mold. This method can be applied to any mask design. It’s not a perfect process, but it is a good budget option, easy for beginners.

Read FAQ below for answers to the most common questions:

How much does this cost?
Estimated cost is about $10 for the mold, and $5 for each mask cast. It’s best to buy mask-making latex by the gallon, for about $50. A gallon of latex is enough to make several masks with. Buying the latex, plaster, and clay to start mask making can put you back around $60, most of that being the cost of latex. Probably not the cheapest method for making only a single mask (unless you can find only a half-gallon or pint of latex), but great for multiple projects.

Where can I buy latex?
It’s best to buy liquid latex for mask-making on online stores, like eBay, or from other effects product suppliers. These suppliers usually have it in stock:

If you can find a local source, that can be cheaper.
MAKE SURE that if you buy latex, it’s specifically latex for mask-making. Other more common “molding ” latex products are not safe on skin.

Where can I get good, cheap clay?
The clay I used was a water-based pottery clay I bought at Hobby Lobby. A 25-pound box for $10 (with a 40% off coupon). That’s a great start, a lot of clay that can last a while. It’s soft and easy to work with for beginners. Or most arts and craft stores should have a 10-pound box of cheap modeling clay for under $10.

Why not just buy the costume mask? It looks better than this one…
It depends on your head. Heh. My nose is a bit large, and so my face looked rather goofy on the costume mask This one fits my head better, doesn’t have a Velcro seam at the back, and better proportioned overall.
However, getting a perfectly smooth finish on a mask like this is very difficult. That would come down to having a very clean mold, which I didn’t have. If you take the time, a homemade mask like this can look better than the costume version.

The FurBuddy pet grooming deShedding tool is an awesome tool that greatly reduces the amount of shedding that occurs with your pet. The deshedding tool removes up to 90% of dead and loose fur from your pet without damaging the topcoat. Veterinarians, groomers and pet professionals recommend the pet grooming deshedding tool by FurBuddy. The stainless steel edge reaches deep beneath your furbaby’s topcoat to remove the dead undercoat and loose easily and painlessly on any short, medium or long haired dog or cat. The handle is comfortable, because it is made out of silica gel.

I received the FurBuddy pet grooming deShedding tool for reviewing purposes and to give my honest and unbiased opinion. Since the tool arrived on my doorstep, both of my dogs, Marley and Tootsie, have enjoyed being deshedded. They seem to feel better and relieved after I am done grooming them. And the amount of dead and loose fur that I end up removing from my Lab, Tootsie, blows my mind. Marley does not have as much. Now is a great time of year to order the FurBuddy pet grooming deShedding tool for your pets since the warm weather has arrived. If you properly groom and maintain their coats during the spring and summer seasons they will be a lot more comfortable and cooler.
