Rhinestone, stud and sequin design care

 To keep your rhinestone, sequin or studded designed  t-shirt looking its best & sparkling for years to come, please follow these simple guidelines.

TREATING STAINS:
When treating stains be careful not to touch the rhinestones, studs or sequins with any cleaner or treatment. These chemicals can damage the glue causing it to loosen it's hold.

WASHING:
Turn shirt inside out and hand wash or wash on a gentle cycle in cold water with similar colored items. DO NOT USE BLEACH as this can  damage the glue.

DRYING:
Lay flat or hang to dry. This is the best drying method for these type of designs. You can tumble dry on delicate in your dryer using no heat. If you use heat set it on low and use with caution. The heat and tumbling action of a high dryer can damage the glue and rhinestones.

WARNING:
***** DO NOT IRON **** - our rhinestones, sequins and stud designs are permanently affixed using a heat press to ensure proper adhesion. Exposing your shirt to high heat (high dryer cycles or household irons) can melt the glue and could cause stones to move or even fall off.

Latex and Silicone Mask Care

What is Latex?

There are two types of latex - natural rubber latex and synthetic rubber latex. Natural rubber latex is obtained from the milky fluid from a rubber tree called the Hevea Brasiliensis. Natural rubber latex should not be confused with synthetic rubber (for example, butyl or petroleum-based). Synthetic latex is made from petroleum and does not contain the naturally occurring proteins found in natural rubber latex. Synthetic latex materials include: polyvinyl chloride (vinyl or PVC), nitrile rubber (acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers), and polychloroprene known by its trade name, Neoprene™.
Latex is produced by the stable dispersion  of polymer micro particles in an aqueous medium.
 This material is whipped with air to form a foam. This foam is then heated to produce foam rubber called 'Latex'.
 Synthetic latex is inherently hypo-allergenic and anti-microbial. It breathes to remove body moisture. It is not a plastic foam like polyurethane. It is denser and designed to last a lifetime. Unlike urethane, Latex will feel as good a year from now as it does today.
****Some people have an  allergy to natural latex, Care should be taken when first wearing a latex appliance if you have never been exposed to latex products and are unsure if you have an allergy to latex. If you have any reaction stop wearing the mask or appliance immediately.****

What if the latex mask doesn't fit?

If you purchase a latex mask and think it doesn't fit, we have some suggestions. First, latex masks are rarely too small. If anything they will be too large. Most latex masks are one-size only and the designers keep wear ability in mind when creating them. If the mask is too large, we suggest cutting pieces of soft foam rubber or unused sponges and gluing them inside the mask using spirit gum or rubber cement. If the mask is too tight, you might consider cutting a slit in the back of the mask. If you do cut the mask make sure you use a hole punch to make a clear, clean hole at the end of the cut or the mask will tear.

  What if the latex item arrives distorted or appears damaged?


When an item made of latex is packaged, shipped or stored, it may temporarily take the form of the packaging. This is because of the unique nature of latex and its ability to form around whatever it is pressed against. For this reason, a latex mask or costume accessory may appear to be distorted or damaged when in fact, it is fine. We suggest you remove the item from its packing, set it aside and allow it to reshape. If it appears distorted, use a blow-dryer (on low heat setting) to restore the item back to its original shape.

What is the best way to clean a latex item?

If your latex mask is dirty, rinse with warm soapy water. You should also clean the latex mask on the inside with warm soapy water to remove any make-up, saliva or perspiration. Never clean your mask with chemicals.

How do I care for my latex item?

One of the best ways to store a latex mask is on a styrofoam wig stand. This allows the mask to retain its natural shape and form when storing. Do not store or display latex items in direct sunlight or heat as doing so can cause the colors to fade and the mask to loose its elasticity or even crack. If you do not have a styrofoam wig stand, the next best option is to stuff the mask with cloth or newspaper so the mask will keep its shape. We also suggesting storing in a sealed plastic bag or in a sealed display case.

 Plastisol - Vinyl Mask

Plastisol is a liquid form of vinyl that is cured by heat to form a solid end product. Plastisols are dispersions of PVC resin in plasticizers, and modified with other raw materials to yield the desired properties of the end user. Plastisols are considered 100% solids material.
Plastisols are very versatile, offering a multitude of application & processing possibilities. Properly cured (fused) plastisol can offer a wide variety of physical properties & attributes, all depending on the formulation. Plastisol is used in screen printing inks and it is also used in rotational and slush molding to make toys and mask. 

Silicone Mask

Silicone such as Gel 10 is a prosthetic grade silicone. Silicone is synthetic and you can obtain high lifelike detail using silicone.This product does not contain any compounds above the de minimis reporting levels subject to SARA Section 313 reporting requirements.  Upon disposal, in its cured or uncured state, this product is not a RCRA hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR 261.
