FACE PAINT?????

[Bowwild]

I stopped using paint a long time ago.  I use stretch-fit headnets now for convenience.  Of course nothing wrong with the paint.

little dirt + few drops of water

comes off as easy as it goes on...  my .02

I backed off from using face paint or head nets several years ago just to see if I would be caught by deer more often, didn't seem to make much difference. I still feel naked without covering my face and keep a head net in my pack for when the bugs are bad but hear and see much better without one.

I just want to clarify . . . I just shot an email to Bob Ray, the owner of Carbomask, just to make sure their wasn't any validity of this.  Carbomask is still very much in production, and is constantly growing.

Gordy I just wanna make sure my friend over at carbomask didn't loose any business. I hope you don't take it personal or anything like that

Glad to see they are still making this product, works well!

I used Carbomask on my bear hunt. It's not as hot as wearing a cloth face mask. Stays on all day in sweat, but comes off easy with soap and water. Mike

Ahhh...baby wipes! THATS how you get that stuff off! Good to know! Might be a shade easier than carrying my towel and a bottle of cold cream around to "wash up" with after I return to jeep. Besides,i always get home smelling like I had a REALLY wild night,you know? Might try the halloween stuff too..sounds easy to get it off.Thanks,Lee

Like Pete Ward said...go to Walmart and get the Halloween stuff...cheap and easy to get off with baby wipes. I bought 10 tubes of white and black last year...got enough for years of hunting for under $15....I hunt in a lot of poplars so the b & W works for me!!

Hey Chris that's great news.  
I apologize for the wrongful information ... but I had emailed and was told that.  Of course that was probably several years ago !

I use burnt cork more often than anything else.

[ohiobowhunt]

I have used everything out there, HS, military grease sticks, cork, even mud. But Carbomask is the absolute best. Goes on easy and comes off just as easy and like it has been said before my skin feels clean after removing it. I hope they are around forever cuz I don't want to use anything else ever again.

[brushcreek]

the last few years I have used burnt cork,it works well and you can remove it easy,I used to use face mask but I started thinking about the effect that my breath has on the mask after wearing it all day,so I switched to the cork.I have used the commerical paints but they were hard to remove.I went down to the creek bank and found a clay deposit,and dug some out.It dries to light so I'm trying to find something to mix with it so it will dry darker,I've tried burnt wood but it doesn't blend well,maybe I need to grind the char better and let it soak some before I mix it.

easy to remove with water but lasts...Carbomask
Easy on skin....Carbomask.

The stuff actually cleans your skin gently like a mud mask.

[lpcjon2]

Your supposed to take it off? Any of the cheep stuff and I use soap and water with a wash cloth,and then I get a facial at the end of the season.  

[sj_lutz]

I use whatever it is that they sell at Wally World, the "Cammo Compact" I think it's called.  Goes on pretty well, lasts, and comes sortof maybe easy-ish.  Much easier with some baby oil.

[xtrema312]

I use the stuff in the tube.  Mostly just the black.  It goes a long ways.  Comes of easy with baby wipes.  I also have some compacts, but is harder to apply.  It also comes of with the wipes.

I use a HS mask that has a eye (clears my glasses) hole with binding (bias tape) around it. The mask is light (screen/net - same as my early season gloves), and loose but has a short flexible band that you form across the bridge of your nose which, along with my glasses, keeps it in place around my eyes with no problem. I wash them along with my hunting cloths, and keep extras - I buy one most every time I see them, just in case - LOL. The camo colors of the net/screen fades from washings, too much after awhile. Then I chuck it. Oh yeah - I like camo paint/make-up but after I had to wear my bifocals all the time I could never keep them clear of "grease" - drove me crazy.

Dead down Wind has face paint now I have good reviews of it
