How to Stretch a Vinyl Mask
- 1). Try the mask on. Slip your head inside the hole and pull the mask down over your head. Adjust the mask as necessary to make sure you can both see and breathe.
- 2). Wear the mask around for a while if it is too small; try to stretch it out through use and normal wear.
- 3). Put your hands in the mask. Push outward at each side to stretch it and gain some room. Do this several times for a few days before you wear it again.
- 4). Use a mannequin head to stretch the mask out. Place the mask on a mannequin head (or something of a similar size) to break the mask in and make it more comfortable to wear yourself.
- 5). Have a friend or family member with a bigger head wear it. Ask them kindly to wear the mask a little while for a few times to help it stretch.
- 6). Heat the mask up a little. Use a space heater or the stove to warm the mask up --- but only just enough to make it stretch more easily. Hold it next to or over the heat for no more than 3 minutes. Stretch it with your hands while it's warm, but put it on only after it cools.
