In reply to: Re: A New Skin alternative -- does it need to be powdered after spraying on? posted by Alissa on July 11, 2001 at 15:04:58:

: This sounds like a great alternative. I'm gearing up for a festival
: and wanted something besides L/S and a wrap, or New Skin to seal
: folks up before leaving. It's a rock concert, and I know people
will
: not want to be toilet papered and saran wrapped after they get
: painted.

---It's perfect for this kind of event.
:
: So before I go and order $20 of the stuff, can this be applied
: to "hairy" areas (any difficulties in removing it, like needing to
: steam it off?) Does it need to be powdered afterwards, like latex?

---When it dries on the hennaed skin it just looks clear like a layer
of lemon-sugar but not as sticky. You can put on a 2nd coat for
extra protection. It is not as thick as New Skin or liquid latex so
it isn't a problem to take off. and it doens't need to be powdered
because it won't stick to itself. If I am wrapping I spray on a coat
of Final Seal and then, while it is still wet, I press toilet paper
over the design so that it sticks to it and soaks up the spray.
Then, as it dries it forms a layer of toilet paper/final seal that
really holds the henna in place. When I peel the TP off the next
day, much of the henna comes with it and the rest that is left
scrapes off easily.

: And how many people would you guess that the 2 oz. spray will coat?
: Any other info you think is good to know would be appreciated!

----I have used the 2 oz. bottle I have about 20-30 times on hands
and smaller designs and I have used only about 1/8th of the bottle.
1 bottle will definitely get you through an entire event and much
much more. Just remember to let the first coat dry before you spray
the next coat on or it will begin to run. Also, let the henna dry,
and even lemon-sugar it, before you spray the Final Seal on. Use it
away from open flames because the stuff is flammable, even if it does
smell minty fresh.
