Real Dreads And A Different Look

Anytime brother ..i love that you keep pushing..keep thinking of new ideas ..im extremely impressed with all you do ..and you ask questions!!! thats so important in learning. BTW ..i really like your idea with the dreads ..im curious what some silicone might do to it. Here would be my suggestion afterwards the collective weight of all those silicone dreads will be quite heave ..perhaps a bit too much for a latex mask to hold ( not to mention trying to bond silicone to latex) ..perhaps a sort of understructure for that mask ..something solid ( maybe vacuuformed plastic ..maybe fiberglass) that the dreads can anchor to

we think so much alike brother-- the dreads are just pushed thru the mask right now-- pretty solid-- I am just going to coat then with a thin layer of silicone to just seal them-- but I have some new ideas for dread attachment as well--  that is coming soon!!!
 
cool ..just get them far away from that latex mask before you do ..give em a once over with some 99% alcohol and let em dry ..if you get that platinum based silicone anywhere near something that has touched latex you will be dealing with delamination and curing issues
