Thanks for the support guys! I've been swamped at work and with classes, but I will have a prototype done this weekend for sure!

Cannot wait to see it.

Love the mask, but isn't the sunken eye thing going to be a problem/make it look weird?
Liquid Crystal Resources just sent me a 100ml sample of "Chromazone Color Change Ink". Previously it was referred to as Lueco Dye 31C but now I see that's not a part number but rather the temp it's affected at. ( 31 celsius )
I will post the info here only as a reference for those who want to try this on their own but must first give the warning that procuring this ink does not mean you made a Rorschach mask. There is a lot more setup and planning that goes into this. I still maintain that if you really want one just buy what Kwally is making. I'm making my own and even I admit it will end in tragedy and will end up buying one of Kwally's when avail.

Perhaps the real reasons I'm putting this up is because:
1) I'm lousy with remembering stuff
2) Many of you may find a need for this chemical that goes beyond this specific project, and will wish that someone posted it for later use
3) We're here to share
Also, this stuff tastes HORRIBLE although it does go good on a salad. I don't feel so well....
Just out of curiosity, has anyone checked a MSDS on the thermochromic paint being used? Naturally, I'm SUPER interested in acquiring one of these masks but I'm a wee bit cautious when it comes to having unusual paints anywhere near my respiratory system, cured or not.
Apologies for not clarifying. This is a source people can BUY it from. Please do not bug the man about FREE samples. It's not too expensive to purchase for prop builders in our league.
Test it? Ergh. I pulled a 16-hour shift yesterday and then grabbed 4 hours sleep before making back here at 6am. The only testing I did was to dip a corner of linen in it, confirm that it is indeed Thermo dye and that's about it.
Yep, the ink I am using has been federally tested and found to have no toxicity.
I will open the order thread/start taking orders as soon as I get my new ink in. I had to purchase a new ink with a bit more stretch so it doesn't crack when the lycra stretches. Thanks guys!
Woah!
Great work Kody! Colour me interested please!
