Flanges Wired in Place

Heads with metal and poster board flanges.

I put the two flanges together and measured and trimmed them to be the width of the bucket. Here are two of the heads with the flanges wired in place. The poster board ones are waxed with three layers of paste wax on each side so the silicone heads and foam will release more easily. Eventually the heads will be placed in a large bucket and foamed poured around the latex molds to hold the silicone masks securely in place.

I will remove the wires after about 3 or 4 coats because the rubbery silicone will hold the flanges in place and the wires will come out more easily than if I remove them after the last coat of silicone hardens.
