I'm somewhat new to mask making, but the technique I use is to dip the completely dry, formed and painted leather into a large pot of melted (not boiling) beeswax.

I hope one day I'll be able to make things HALF this spectacular.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120142070183343521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8122181515078744059.post-35814765086656368312010-04-09T09:53:12.856-07:002010-04-09T09:53:12.856-07:00Yes indeed, a hairdryer it was.
