anton67 Posted July 24, 2021 Share #1 Posted July 24, 2021 Picked up this gas mask a while back. The mask is basically frozen in place. Does anyone know a way to restore? Maybe soak it in a liquid that would loosen or free it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 25, 2021 Share #2 Posted July 25, 2021 Soaking it in anything will not help. The face piece can be reshaped with gentle steaming. Once it cools it will essentially be frozen in place again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton67 Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted July 25, 2021 My goal is to open it up and put it on a foam or glass head. Thank you for the response. Any other ideas are greatly welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 25, 2021 Share #4 Posted July 25, 2021 Yes steaming will work for that and it will hold the shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 25, 2021 Share #5 Posted July 25, 2021 It is also a good idea to cover the foam head with cotton material to prevent any reaction between the foam and the rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
