[SML] Safety of carbon fiber masks/heads

[Michael Sauder]

I had a millinery ask if I had any knowledge or contacts to ask about
if she should cover some carbon fiber heads with a layer of resin. To
be clear, these are hollow heads that performers are wearing, so
they're breathing is in close contact to the carbon fiber.

As I deal in the world of computers and the like, this is outside of
my wheelhouse, but it seems like exactly the kind of thing that some
people on this list might know. Here's what she has to say:

"I was wondering if you happen to know anyone who works with Carbon fiber.
We had some new polar heads made and the guy was like very gungho on
us going the carbon fiber route- which i know is lighter and stronger,
but not much else.

I now have the heads and based on the experience working with the
maker, have concerns about the safety of putting a dancer breathing in
them, never mind the handling I do to cover with fur/hat and mount the
helmet.

Since you are also make- I wondered if you knew someone who could
advise me on whether I need to coat the inside - where there should be
a resin layer seems quite sparse in places and I like to worry. a
quick google is a rabbit hole without clear advice for dancing bears.
Or what a best quick coating would be."

Any advice for her?

Thanks!
Michael
