How did they go about forming that to your face back then? Is that a goalie mask?



(you probably have 2 or 3 decades on me)

To make the mask….I had to wear a shower cap over my head and tuck my hair in it….then cover my face in petroleum jelly….and laid down on a table . Then the guy stuck a straw in my mouth ,so I could breath. Then he began to lay strips of plaster soaked gauze all ovah my head and face….and when it was set up..I puffed out my cheeks and he lifted the mold off my face. The next step for him was to fill the mold of my face ,with plaster. Then released that…and then he had a perfect mold of my face. Then he laid strips of fiberglass cloth and resin onto the mold of my face to a desired thickness….cut out the eyes…etc. [Linked Image]

my ex-brother in law had a mask made like that, but his had bolt holes along the side! used it to aim the radioactive laser for his throat cancer! they bolted him to the table so he couldn't move and to hit the same spot every time!
