Hey Felicity

I would be afraid of hitting  myself with the fire first ! Lol . JK . I think they make some kinda  hard  covers for the stoma maybe that would help . Sorry I don't know much about them tho . Just a thought .

I haven't used the Stoma Stifler but would be willing to try it out for a review (hint, hint).

I'm not sure how it differs from a traditional hard stoma guard, but stoma guards are certainly an option (and they come in many different sizes/styles). 

The level of activity and protection should determine the size of the guard you go with. But be careful with guards that are too big as they may make it difficult for you to bend. 

HA HA.. a fire proof stoma guard is an entirely new concept for me !

Love the picture, Felicity! Thanks.

Unfortunately fire proof fabrics are stiff or treated in a way that is easy to compromise or just not something you want on your body. Most fire folk opt for fire resistant. Natural, tight woven fabrics are really good, leather is very good but seriously hot to wear. I wear denim and t-shirts or tank tops most of the time. There are newer fire resistant fabrics out there but for a hobby it's more economical to do with stuff you already have that is safe. I'd layer something resistant over the guard to protect it a bit more, likely a sash, no fringe/ tassels.

Yep, too big and suddenly your poked. Finding that with the flange, I know that I'll have to wait before I can move down in size from a 2 1/4. Oscar is not in his final form, he is at 1 inch right now but due to being a loop I know they will revise him.

and.... fire folk! another new idea. 

 I guess tin foil won't work huh? or a pot holder. What about that new silicone stuff they make pot holders and bakewear out of?  Hummm...could be kind of steam punk like.

Actually there are some uses of silicone out there for certain props. Better for gripping for props like staffs and also decreasing heat transfer, like for wrought iron props. It's mainly tube or tape form.

Likely I'll see what I can make, maybe a salute to the old school ostomy appliances. Victorian/ Steampunk style could be awesome, leather and metal...

And don't forget to design some matching head gear!
