: :
: : 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.
