Thank you Bert.

I see a drape mold for a mask that I'd like to try. It's a half face mold with the eye sections open. How to you keep it that way (no glass across the eye openings). Being in Mardi Gras country I think I could make some cute masks but being a newbie am confused about this part. Any advice would be a...

This was great information. I just read about hair spray yesterday and was going to ask if anyone used it.

I want to say thank you to all the posters on this forum. I'm fairly new to warm glass art. I did some about 10 years ago with my sister, so all of my knowledge was hands on or from watching.
