What are you doing for a mold?
I like the "Fireman's helmet" look, too!
My problem is that I have a very "long oval" head (cowboy hat term)...much more oval than round, and even XXL Grateful Headz helmets are too short in the forehead for me.
I was thinking of making the 1/2" minicel inner liner, saran-wrapping it to my head and under my chin, and then making a plaster mold from that---likely use this as a male mold to make a female mold from.
I'd want to vacuum bag it.
Not sure about metal flake just yet.
