How to properly wear the mask?2019-12-18T18:43:44-05:00

Answer

To prevent the mask from cracking, avoid opening and closing it suddenly. You have to put it on the face and let it take its shape with the warmth of your skin.

Fatty substances like petroleum jelly or oil-based makeup shorten the life of the mask. Always clean the inside of your mask thoroughly after using it in contact with these products.

Foam pads are included with each mask. You can stick them inside it at the support points for more comfort.

How to properly store the masks?2019-12-18T18:45:01-05:00

Store your masks in a cool, dry place, ideally between 15 and 30 C. If the mask has been exposed to low temperatures, do not handle it and allow it to adjust to room temperature before wearing it.

Avoid storing the masks with weight on them to avoid deforming them. Store the masks separately in cloth or plastic bags to avoid damaging the coloring.

Answer

How to clean the mask without damaging it?2019-12-18T18:46:31-05:00

Answer

Gently clean the inside of the mask by hand with lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cloths and repetitive rubbing.

It is normal for the basecoat inside the mask to lose its opacity after repetitive cleaning. You can touch up with black acrylic paint if necessary.

What can I do to extend the life of my mask?2019-12-18T18:47:23-05:00

Answer

The latex used in the manufacture of our masks is a natural product whose chemical bonds are subject to degradation in contact with air in the long term. This is an inevitable process, but you can increase their shelf life by storing them individually in plastic bags between each use.

How are your masks attached?2019-12-18T18:49:15-05:00

Answer

Our masks are made by default with a round elastic cord on which is inserted a black plastic slider for adjustment. We recommend this style of attachment for active theatrical play, for Larping or for any occasion where you will have to do a lot of movements while wearing the mask.

We also offer to make our masks with black ribbons that you can tie behind the head. We recommend this style of attachment for masked balls and for more decorative masks that will not be worn in a context requiring a lot of movement.

What materials are used in the manufacture of your masks?2019-12-18T19:01:18-05:00

Answer

Mask
Our masks are made with a unique mixture of two types of latex, giving them a solid and rigid appearance while allowing a certain flexibility and elasticity so that they conform to the shape of your face. The weight and texture of the mask is reminiscent of a leather mask, but with additional flexibility.

Colouring
The coloring is done with an acrylic-based polymer. This type of paint remains flexible even after drying, allowing you to wear your mask without risking cracking the paint.

Are your masks really hand-crafted?2019-12-18T18:54:37-05:00

Answer

All Atelier Pirate masks are entirely made by our local artists. These are not imported products with a private label, but many unique designs entirely manufactured in Montreal, Canada.

I want to receive my order before a specific date, can you help me?2019-12-18T18:55:12-05:00

Answer

It is important to communicate with us to ensure that you receive your products on time. As several masks are made to order, it is also necessary to count the manufacturing times for certain models. Contact us beforehand to ensure deadlines.

Ai-je un numéro de suivi pour ma commande?2019-12-18T18:57:23-05:00

Answer

Most shipping methods offer a tracking number with your package. You can therefore follow your shipment as soon as it leaves our workshops or our store to your delivery address. Contact us if in doubt.
