... In Blackest Night ...

My Green Lantern mask arrived!

Corey and his sculptor did a great job on the mask. I actually got two!

The first one is made of of urethane foam with a theatrical mesh back. This one is as light as air and feels like an actual part of your face. It's a bit wrinkled when it's not on, but as soon as it warms up on your face, it puffs up and is really smooth! I use spirit gum and spirit gum remover for this one. This moves as your facial expressions move. It's great!


The other is made of theatrical latex. A little thicker, almost, but not quite, as comfortable. ProsAid and regular prosthetic adhesive remover on this one.

By the way, did you know the "proper" way to attach a latex appliance?

  • Put a light coat on the back of the appliance. Let dry for about two minutes
  • Put a similar light coat of the adhesive on your face. Let dry for about a minute
  • Starting at the top edge, "roll" the appliance downwards, patting and stretching gently into place as you go.
