Protecting or transforming latex mask

[Elevader]

I‘m looking into getting some Star Wars masks made of latex, but I dont really have the best environment for displaying them. There is far too much natural light in my house and I know the UV will destroy them quickly.

I was wondering if there is any way to coat the masks in another material to make it durable. Something like a clear resin or fiberglass. I have no clue if anything like that would work, but I don’t intend to wear these and just want to display them.

Anyone know if this is possible and if there is a method that might work?

You could just display in a case that is made off a U.V resistant material.

USA Base, but search for local supply.

Yeah, I have a large glass case Im using that I was gonna put some protective UV film on. I wasnt sure how effective it would be though.

That will be your best bet. Moisture and heat are your enemy too, so try and avoid those conditions as much as possible. Hope that helps.
