Has anyone modded a Disguise Cap mask? It's ok but really floppy. Any thoughts on how to stiffen it up?

I would suggest 1/4" foam, glued in with contact cement.

You're very welcome. That's always been the problem with rubber masks, they make them big so a home can fit into them. The new silicone masks stretch like crazy to snuggly but comfortably. Pricy though

That's actually a vinyl mask, contact cement won't work.

I used a vinyl glue, and put one of the kid's Cap masks in there to fill up some space.

After adding the kids mask did you need to pad it to stiffen the whole mask? Would a resin coating help or wreck it?...thanks for the heads up on the glue

I glued 2 masks together with the plastic inside and it stiffened it up fairly well....I'm going to add some sponge to the bridge of the nose and the eyebrow to offer some padding and a better fit

Adding some cheap kitchen sponges to the mask to lift it a little off my face and looks loads better once it's dry I'll post the results

Before and after just needs a little trim and a chinstrap

Filled the space between the two masks with expanding foam it did help stiffen the helmet. I'm having troubles with the bridge of the nose and not looking crossed eyed. Any suggestions?

Making a chinstrap out of 1" webbing and I tore apart my helmet to try again w the expanding foam. Thinking of using Chicago screws to mount the chinstrap
