Making eye holes larger
Hi guys, I am looking to widen the eye holes on my mask slightly. What's the best way to do this without messing up the mask?

Re: Making eye holes larger
I would recommend putting your mask on so that it fits comfortably. Look in the mirror mirror on the wall. Mark where you want to expand or widen your eyehole with a pencil or marker. I said eyehole not asshole. I would start in on it with rough sandpaper or file depending on how much or how little you want to sand it down. Then start to round the sharp edges around the eye. Use finer sandpaper to give it a nice smooth finish. Have faith in the mirror it won't lie to you and don't forget to keep putting it on to check your vision while doing this so you don't take too much off. That's what I do with my masks anyway.

Re: Making eye holes larger
if you own a dremel ,get a #952 grinding stone . this tool saves steps and preserves the original outside paint to more of a straight line rather then just sanding .
