M38 Gas Mask - blue

[Bullet]

Hi all, have acquired a blue (magnetic) version of the gas mask. Complete with 4 packs of replacement k
Lenses, canister base spring and fabric. Looks as if the mask has been in its canister for awhile.. The rubber is distorted. Can anyone suggest a way of setting the mask to iron out the distortion?

Mate - put it on a foam head with an old T shirt on it ( so the foam doesn't affect the rubber ) and stick it out in the sun for a while.

Depending what state you live in, the weather is still warm enough

Cheers, Dan

Thanks Danmark.. I'm in Sydney, Chilly mornings but does warm up during the day. Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go.

Could always use one of the original gasmaskenspanner however if you don’t already have one Dan’s route is far superior then going and buying one of those spanners.

Nice set by the way
