$4 CPAP repair

Tired of spending $100 or more on a new mask just because they're made from inferior neoprene (thereby making you spend another $100 every 3 months or so)? Enter our good friend, Duck Tape.  Since Duck Tape now come in all different patterns and colors, you can now have a fully custom mask for the great price of $3.99.  I cannot tell you how irritating it is for an apnea sufferer to wake up in the middle of the night and either have to adjust their mask or worse, stop breathing because their mask fell off because of the crappy materials they use for the mask bands.  Anyway, there is no tutorial, I just ripped strips of duct tape off and taped them over the existing neoprene...or in some cases where the neoprene was before it chose to disintegrate.

Here is the mask in it's new, pristine state ($99 with prescription) and below it, my newly refurbished Hello Kitty model :D.
