Hey all. I have these fantastic masks of "Devil Guy" and "Bossk" with "Gorn" coming soon. They are made of great and sturdy materials, but what is the best way to care for them? For the thin latex Don Posts I have always used, and had last decades, Johnson's baby oil sprayed lightly with a thin mist sprayer (hair bottle). It's worked fantastic preserving the paint, flexibility of the latex, etc.

But with these, I'm not sure of the paints and materials involved and I know that Sarge and Wampa are "masters" with this stuff so would like some advice.

Thanks before hand! :D

As someone who owns a couple of latex items, I am also interested in this. :)

I'm not an expert, and I've never tried it myself, but isn't Armorall supposed to be made specifically for keeping rubber moist, supple and protected?

I heard that Armor All "cleaner" NOT "protectant" is good too use, but I hope one of the laytex experts come in here soon.
My Bossk mask needs to be cleaned and I afraid too use anything but water as of now.
