I've almost worked out the bugs on a prototype for a new type of mask.

[LuckyCharms]

As soon as it is done and tested, I'll post the plans for it.

It will be very easy to make, and you should be able to make a week's supply in about an hour.

I can give you a list of the materials you will need right now, just in case you wanted to stock up. Then when I release the plans, you can immediately start making them.

Materials and tools required:

Magnum Condoms (you will need 6 per mask)
Vaseline or generic petroleum jelly
One 4 x 8 sheet of plywood per mask (get the cheapest grade you can find)
Putty knife
Random orbital sander
Some marbles (you'll need about one good sized handful per mask)
One small container of cinnamon

And the good news? No sewing required!

2. Sounds like one of those 'hold my beer' projects

Please tell me there will be video.

3. It would work better if you include punctured bicycle inner tubes. n/t.

4. Love the smell of cinnamon...mmmmmm

5. Can I use paper-clips?

Instead of condoms?

Have you considered mothballs instead of marbles?

My design uses three leafblowers and a football helmet.

6. OK, if I use 3/4" plywood rather than 1/8" ...

will the resulting mask be more effective?

Answer soon... I’m driving to Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, and Whole Foods as we speak!

7. PS: Are you sure I won't need a big tube of black caulk?

[LuckyCharms]

12. I'm much too old to be sending pics of my

"prototype".

13. I'm not sure how this is going to work without a ballcock

I’ll need to see the blueprints

[LuckyCharms]

14. Ballcock?

Hey, this isn't the old Craigslist personal section. pal.

16. Pfft, that's what videos are for

15. Funny tutorial on sewing a mask

BTW, are you making a mask or a catapult?

17. No Hot Glue?

[LuckyCharms]

18. I'm trying to keep it simple. If you use the hot glue...

then you have to get the lingerie involved, and that would mean an extensive design modification.

19. Ah, you're going with duct tape

Be generous with the duct tape, you know; spare the duct tape, spoil the job.
