What type of glue are people using to attach the hair to the latex
mask?

I tried tacky glue - but it didn't seem to work to well.
I was next going to pick up something like "Contact Cement" to see
how that works.

So far as a pattern for attaching the fur - it looks like you just
start at the edges and slowly work your way in?



On a slightly different note - if there are any other wookiees out
there racing to get a costume ready by C3/Episode III - and you
still haven't cast your mask - I have my mold here and some extra
latex. For the cost of the latex and shipping - I'm willing to send
you a copy of my latex mask. (You would still be on your own for
painting, fiberglass underskull, teeth, fur, etc). On the off
chance that anyone may be interested - email me and I can get you
photos of the mask.
