Spirit Gum & Remover Kit, Special FX Adhesive

Let me start off by saying I'm a cosplayer and Mehron products have always been dependable. I can pretty regularly blindly buy something and trust that it's going to work. Spirit Gum is no exception to that rule; I know a lot of people express having trouble with it, but application technique goes a long way! My advice is to make sure you clean the area first with an alcohol wipe (make sure your hands are clean, too). Then use the applicator to apply and spread the Spirit Gum on the desired area and give it a little bit of time to partially dry. Next, take your finger and lightly dab it, just enough to warm the product up and make it tacky and just lightly enough that you don't smear or remove the product. Then it's ready to stick! Most recently, I've used this product to stick an LED on my face for a Detroit: Become Human cosplay, and it stayed on for the entire convention, through heat and sweat. It also came off nice and easy with the spirit gum remover! I have sensitive skin, so I will note that the spirit gum makes my skin a bit red after application. However, I do not experience burning or breakouts after, which is HUGE because there are a lot of products I can't use due to my sensitivities! I also want to point out that the small bottle is the perfect size to pocket and keep on you during conventions while cosplaying for quick emergency fixes.

Came way before I expected and its very helpful for cosplay! It was quite easy to use for a beginner too. You just wait for it to get tacky and then stick things to it! Most of everything stayed on all night.

Kept the Elf ears on my cosplay.

This stuff is AMAZING! Dries quick and clear, doesn't smear, and holds tight without pulling. I wore actual stones as prosthetics on four separate days, each for more than 12 hours. I never had to reapply once! Has zero odor and I can tell it's going to last a good long while before I'll need to buy more. Very much worth the cost and am looking forward to buying more since it works so well.

What fantastic glue. I only had to reapply once on beard during four hours Of playing Santa eyes brows stayed the entire time. And the glue removal was a life saver afterwards.

I watched multiple videos and tutorials on proper application of spirit gum, I did as much as I could to make sure I would get as much stick as possible. Unfortunately it didn’t hold up well. I used it to adhere a lace front beard. So it was in a high movement part of the face. But it only lasted about 30 minutes before I was attempting to reattach, and then about 1.25 hours before I gave up completely and took the beard off. I’m sure I could have done a better job, it was my first time using spirit gum, but I did try to follow direction, and it still didn’t hold up. I’m not sure how much was user error and how much was the product itself.

This was my first time using spirit gum and I used it to attach elf ears for my Zelda Halloween costume. I wore them for a solid 10 hours, 2 of which were spent at a rock concert where I was jumping and dancing. They were knocked/elbowed more than once and held up through it all. I never had to reapply. A++! I pulled them off easily as soon as the show was over and was able to peel most of the adhesive off without needing the remover.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Pretty fantastic product. You really need to be patient and let it get sticky before you put it on. At first I wasn't super patient...it kept sliding down my face...so I laid down on a bed and just put some pressure on the silicone pieces...it took a few minutes...But it will stay on all night. I don't think it had a smell to it. It didn't irritate my skin. I feel like it was well worth the money! Warning: if you spill the remover...it will take off a layer of top coat on wood surfaces. :|

Unfortunately it is not vegan as it contains shellac. The seller should have included the list of ingredients in one of teh pictures or in the description of the item.

Würde den Kleber liebend gerne testen aber versuche das Fläschchen seit Ankunft verzweifelt, ohne Erfolg, zu öffnen. Weder starke Männer, noch eine Zange konnten das Fläschchen öffnen.(Produktionsfehler?) Sehr frustrierend.. oder gibt es da eine spezielle Technik und ich bin zu doof?

Great prosthetic glue! just be careful when you clean-up, residue can get on your hands and become annoying to clean off

Pathetic

Used this to stick a mask to my face for a whole day at comic con. Worked perfectly. Held on very well but was easy to quickly unstick in an emergency, (Had issue with contact lenses). The size is perfect to keep in my bag to reapply glue when needed. It didn't even take any of my eyebrows off! :) Perfect for what I wanted! (Remember to tap the glue until it is sticky before applying, then it will stick immediatly :) )
