Thanks David! There really is no limit of uses for Neoprene is there! :)
I have only been using it for a month after first seeing it used for masks
and puppets 2 months ago, and am only just starting to grasp the impact it
is having/will have on my creative project-building ability:

Typical question: "What should I make this from?"
Typical answer to that question: "Cast it in Neoprene!"

Anyone who has been holding out against neoprene, just get a bucket and try
it!
