I know many mask makers who use Krylon products to finish their pieces. Personally, I find that if a mask is going to flex alot it the finish *will* "break" and spiderweb eventually. It's good to inform customers how to properly store their masks. Little thin masks ("lone ranger style") often end up bent up in drawers, or "rolled", which can wreck a poly-whatever finish. At least the customer can't say you never warned 'em!

I am not all-against Krylon- I use their products on alot of things. On leather, it's economical, fast and reliable. *However*, spraypaints of any kind can dry out the leather and make it terribly brittle.

My masks tend to be single piece half-face jobs. I use dyes overlaid with acrylic. I tend to use finishes like atom wax- they harden a little, but still retain some "give".
