There is only two layers of paper! The first layer is weak, but soft. The second is strong, and made of 100% cellulose. I wonder what that is. Imagine, it could be Kraft! Too bad the photos for this are in Black and white. There is a coat of slow-drying plaster mixed with glue as a surface finishing, before painting. The colors are acrylic. The final protective coat is a mixture of beeswax and shoe polish. I assume the mix is done by heating, and possibly applied hot. (always use a double boiler to boil waxes and solvents, for safety). There is no mention of how the mask is finished inside. I wonder still. Maybe beeswax is enough? Was I making my life complicated for nothing again? No, for I have learned much. LoL. I knew I was on the right track! Mathieu René Créaturiste Marionnettes, Masques, Etcetera...
