Date: 18 Jan 06 08:52 PMI have a set of rubber Kiss masks which are getting quite old not, and the rubber is starting to perrish. Is there any way to stop it breaking down or slow it? What is the best way to store rubber masks to prevent perrishing? |

This is about the best you can do, but they just turn to liquid over time and you will loose them... sorry :-) I also heard some years ago that rubbing the rubber seal on the door of your refrigerator with meths every now and then can help prevent perrishing, but I don't know if it is true. Even if it is I would only rub th inside of the mask or it may take off the colouring of the pain on the outside. Good luck. |
