    heat might do it, but then it would prolly melt the mask

    Put on the mask then jump into a non-heated pool. I know that causes shrinkage.

    try cutting a slit up the back of it, cutting some off of each side and then try melting the seam back together with a butane torch or something. Might work.

    Ive had the same problem before, luckily its always freezing cold on haloween where i live, so i just put a touque on and it makes my head bigger which made the mask fit better.

    Your best bet is to use the cut and zip tie idea.

    Do you guys really believe this bullshit story of a halloween mask? He bought the smallest rubber for his dick and is trying to figure out how to make it fit. They dont make them any smaller.

    Pad the inside of it like a baseball helmet. Shrinking will ruin it.

    Could you be Robin instead? "Holy small matchstick head Batman!"

    Jaison, are you seriously gonna drive around in the TA wearing a batman mask on Haloween? If so... you definitely need a sidekick.

    Or are you going to go trick or treating? With the mask on, no one will know
