                           To see a dramatic example of
                           foam filling and restoration,
                           Park your cursor on the
                           picture on the left.

                           You will see it before restoration.

FOAM FILLING

When a mask begins to age, it starts to succumb to the effects of gravity. Most masks are stored on styrofoam wig stands. This is fine for a new mask, or one which is worn. However, if the mask is to be a show-piece, or just never worn, it can be stressed by not having the needed support in all critical areas.

HOW CAN I TELL IF MY MASK NEEDS THIS?
If your mask is showing signs of getting a little "gooey" feeling, or the rubber retains a fingernail impression for a while, or if there is already some cracking or tearing - especially between the eyes or at the top of the nose. Even if your mask is perfect, foam-filling is the best way to preserve it!

Don't wait until it's too late for a simple fix!
You will be surprised at how affordable foam filling a mask can be!

Foaming is the best way
to protect your mask.

Let me explain why...

First of all, the foam is
a two part semi-soft
foam. Not hard at all.
But strong enough to
firmly hold the most
delicate or deformed
masks in shape.

Secondly, the foam,
once cured (which
takes moments) is
completely inert to
mask rubber is
safe to handle.
And does not give off
any harmful odors.

Thirdly, I've been involved
with masks that were
foamed with this process,
over 20 years ago. And
they still retain their
original shape.

We can even cast a light-weight post into the foam,which you can use as a display stand.
All of the masks in the Morgue Gallery
are examples of foam filled masks.
