Re: Questions about Rubies "The Dark Knight Batman Adult Full Mask"
Would this tutorial suffice for my mask?

Re: Questions about Rubies "The Dark Knight Batman Adult Full Mask"
Okay guys got some good news: My mannequin arrived and after some sanding my cowl will "comfortably" fit on it.
The bad news: while attempting to pull the cowl onto the head, the stretch hole (in one of the pictures above) that is above the velcro closure has begun to tear. Right now the tear is only 1-3MM in length and is pretty well going in a straight line.
Before doing any work on this (ie. zipper or installation of a plastic mask) I think it would be best to repair this. I once read about someone in a similar situation using a type of tape and then spraying with plasti dip (or some type of paint/finish).
I can't find the particular thread now so I was hoping someone with far superior knowledge can guide me in this.
Jason.

just cut a cirle around the tear. A circle wont rip, but a staright line will. Then continue as planned.

Re: Questions about Rubies "The Dark Knight Batman Adult Full Mask" *Update Pg. 3 HELP!!!!!*
I ripped my first Rubies cowl right above the velcro like yours. After I bought a second cowl, I cut a small piece off of the ripped cowl and super glued it into the inside of the new cowl just above the velcro to reinforce the area.
I'm still deciding if I want to try to replace the velcro with a zipper. Maybe I'll try it on the ripped cowl first...

Thanks guys,
I'll have to go with cutting a circle in it for now since I only have the one cowl.
