Bio question

[Nismo300ZX]

I'm trying to decide the best way to attach a bio to a full mask, not a half mask, but I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. I want to be able to take the mask off easily and be able to put it back on as well... any input would be appreciated.

Personally I went for neodymium magnets (earth magnets) as they can be hidden underneath the skin so it leaves no visible attachments on the mask (like velcro would for example)

Earth Magnets.... do a bit of a search on them.. plenty of info on installing them around here

Def earth magnets are the way to go. If your mask is foam filled, just cut two deep holes (I just used my finger) and put two magnets CLOSE but not right against the latex and about 4 inches apart. Those suckers are strong and if you have the magnet right against the latex, it could tear the latex eventually.

Then just two more magnets glued with epoxy to the inside of the Bio. The hard part is lining them up properly.

I'd also recommend using black felt and gluing it to the inside of the Bio to avoid any paint getting rubbed off of your mask.

Thanks yall. I was thinking magnets but wasnt sure. Sounds like this is the way to go.

What size magnets do the trick if only 2 are used? I was going to mount my magnets on 50mm circles of abs plastic about 1mm thick, so the magnet is on the oposite side of the abs to the latex to stop it pulling through in time
