Hey everybody! So I utilized our handy dandy search feature and didn't quite find an answer to what I was looking for.
I have recently purchased Sinister Studios "Incubus Deluxe Freddy Krueger" silicone mask and glove combo and although not as accurate as some are to replicating the look of Robert Englund's face, for the price and it being my first silicone mask, I am incredibly happy with what I've received. It appears to be really well made and is a really thick and heavy mask and glove and I'm excited to show it off when ever I can.
As I said this is my first silicone mask purchase and I'm afraid I don't know much about the process that goes into creating them which I why I thought I'd turn to my wonderful and talented brothers and sisters of the RPF. Upon putting the mask on for the first time I realized that there are no holes in the ears and it is very hard to hear well while it's on. So I'm wondering if it is possible to add these ear holes so that my hearing can improve while wearing the mask. OF course I know I can easily just cut a hole in each ear, I mean duh. What I'm really asking for advice, guidance or suggestion on how to do it properly as to not cause future issues with the mask later on down the line. Is there a special tool I should find? Have you personally done this yourself in the past? Does the mask need to be reinforced after the holes are created. Anything you can offer would be a huge help.
The photos attached are of the same mask I've purchased for reference.
