Safety First, but Its Safety Later, in this company.

Working in the Dark. Ghost Busters? No. Just doing termination of cables for the Mud Panel in the pontoon, in semi-sumersible oil rig. We were subjected to such working conditions almost everyday.

Notice they are wearing goggles and gloves. Good. See they managed to get a lamp to the panel. That’s Good. The one on the right is wearing a piece of cloth to the face. This is good because the area was full of dusts and foreign particles flying around.

i was asked by a crew member of the rig, why am i wearing a mask all the time. What ridiculous question. They didn’t know safety? Even the family of Malboro man is suing the tabacco company for causing him to die of cancer.

We get to be blasted when we board the rig. They were doing sand blastings all over the places for many days. We were not warned. i saw the crew covering their faces and ears as they ran past the blasting areas in the rig. We got metal pieces, dirt and other foreign particles in our neck and ears and inside the coveralls evertime we past the area where sand blasting was done.

Next to the rig, there were ships moving in and out the dock, and sandblasting is all daily routine. Ships or rig, we all got blasted all the time.

We were subjected to such working conditions almost everyday. Is this not abuse ? discriminate? or exploitation ?

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.

See how I made a Bane mask and the rest of the Batsuit:
