Clean before paint ?

 

[agh12]

use cold water and soap to clean any dirt mask or other product ?

 

[wonko]

Scrub it in hot soapy water a few times and let it dry out a few hours.  Make sure it is rinsed completely clean of and residue before you start paint.

I used the method you said but when the mask dries continues  white
 
is normal to happen?

 

[agh12]

some help?

Well, what is the white?  is it powder, plaster residue, mold release?  What kind of soap did you use, and did you scrub it with a brush?  So long as all the chemicals are off and it's not powder you should be fine.  I received masks before with "plaster residue", but was always able to scrub it off.  Granted, it took several times and a small stiff brush, but in the end I got it all off.  The biggest thing you want to watch out for is any chemical residue left on the latex.  If it's clean and dry then give it a try.  Worse case scenario you scrub it clean again and start over.

I think it's pigments plaster or talcum powder.
 
the mask when was wet It looked clean but dry clean was returning to be with white things.
 
I use  dishwashing hand soap that has degreaser but do not use any brush for fear of damaging the mask.
 
must be clean before painting?
 
thank for you help

 

[agh12]

I cleaned varies sometimes more but the mask Remains The Same
 
Already can paint on it or should I keep cleaning?
 
a photo without flash and one with flash is the difference

If you have cleaned it that many times, I personally would just go for it.  Had the same problem with my mask and it just got to the point where I had enough and put the paint on.  Turned out fine.

If I were you though I would cut out the eyes just now and get their positioning relative to your own. Make sure the mask is a nice neat fit and put in any extra padding before painting.  Check breath ability as well, you may have to cut some holes at the mouth area for comfort.  If you do this just now the less rough handling you will have of the mask when painted. Do not paint the dread holes.  I made this mistake and have had many falling out due to the dread being attached to a thin skim of paint.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your comment.
 
I will try washing it a bit more and then I will continue his advice.
 
he mask has foam inside on the dread holes to adapt to my head.
 
if I need more foam will add more as you say.
 
I have to make a cut in the mask at the back of the neck for to be introduce in my head?
