    A mask that I have recently acquired (obviously latex) has some extremely small tears or areas that look like they are being strained, I've looked up a ton of latex repair options but none of them seem practical for how small of tears these are. Any help would be appreciated. They are on the inside of my mask and are not even close to going completely through the latex. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I'd just wash the areas with a bit of soap and water to remove any talc/dirt and brush on some liquid latex. You could also soak a piece of fabric in latex and fit that over the weakened areas to reinforce them a bit

    I use 3M spray adhesive Foam Fast 74 and nylon stockings for repairs. Clean the back spray on the glue and press in the nylons. On the front a small amount of latex will seal up the gap.
