Latex mask generally refers to a full-head enclosure or disguise, often worn by someone as a part of a costume and made from Synthetic Latex Rubber . Latex masks are particularly popular around holidays such as Halloween . Latex masks are generally made in several stages. The first stage begins with a clay-sculpted 'positive' of the character. A plaster mold is then made of the sculpture, capturing all of the detail. The plaster mold is generally made in two-pieces for a full-head mask. Once the mold has been made and is carefully removed and cleaned it is ready for the castimg. The mold is connected to form a hollow negative of the design and latex rubber is poured in and allowed to sit for a short time before the excess is poured out. After the latex rubber has dried inside the mold, it can be peeled out and painted as desired. What comes out of the mold is now the 'positive' version of the latex mask. |
