Apply Pros-Aide Adhesive "The Original" Liquid with a brush, then dust it with glitter, gilding powder, or Mehron Metallic powder to create long-lasting waterproof body art. Apply liquid Pros-Aide with a brush; a sharp #2 brush works well. As you paint, remove drying adhesive from your brush by wiping it with an alcohol pad or rinsing in 91% isopropyl when the adhesive gets gummy or difficult to brush. Liquid Pros-Aide can be applied with a cone, but it is runny and difficult to work with. |
Create
body art with Pros-Aide Adhesive
"The Original" Liquid Do you want to do shimmering body art with Pros-Aide Liquid? You will need these things. |
|
|
Put a
drop of
Pros-Aide Liquid onto the top of a clean, dry cap (such as the
twist-off cap from a bottle) and adhere the cap to the disposible
plate. This will help keep the adhesive secure so it doesn't tip over. If this adhesive spills, it makes a sticky mess that is difficult clean up. Do everything you can to keep yourself and your work area tidy. Keep the bottle of Pros-Aide Liquid closed so the adhesive will not dry out, and to avert accidents. |
Use
a straw as a pipette to pick up a few drops of Pros-Aide Liquid from
the bottle; drip the liquid into the cap. Use only a few drops at a
time, so it won't dry out before you can paint with it. Dry
glue
cannot be thinned out and reused. This product does not contain latex, but some people are allergic to adhesives. Do not use this product on any person who is allergic to band-aids. If you get this product on clothing, rinse it out with 91% isopropyl alcohol before it dries. Soap and water will not remove Pros-Aide Liquid from clothing. A neck, chest, face, back, belly, arms and shaved legs are ideal places to apply Pros-Aide Liquid Adhesive. If you apply this product to hairy skin, removal will be as difficult as getting bubble gum out of a cocker spaniel's ear. You can remove dry adhesive from skin by rubbing it with the sticky side of scotch tape. |
|
Before
you apply this body art, clean the person's skin. Remove
lotion,
sunblock, and anything else that might spoil the pattern, or make it
difficult for the adhesive to stick to the skin You can do a far more complex pattern if you sketch it out first. Dampen the skin slightly with a moist cloth or spray bottle. Sketch your pattern lightly onto damp skin with an aquarellable pencil. Pros-Aide liquid dries transparent very quickly, so it is difficult to keep track of what you're drawing, and some guidelines will help. |
|
This
brushwork technique is completely unlike applying henna with a
cone. If you haven't done this before, follow these
instructions
and practice on yourself before you try to work on someone else. Use a small brush to apply the pattern. As the glue dries on the brush, wipe away the dry bit with an alcohol pad. |
|
The
glue will begin to dry quickly. If your lines are thin, the glue will
be dry in five minutes. When the body glue becomes completely
transparent, and you can't see any more white, it is dry enough to
apply glitter. |
|
|
When the glue is completely dry and transparent, brush cosmetic grade polyester glitter on, and brush away excess. Brush very lightly to spread the glitter exactly where you want it to go. |
Do you want a design with many colors? You can brush in more colors, but the colors may blend together. | |
|
Brush
away the excess with a wide brush or a blusher brush, or a soft dry,
washcloth. Rinse off excess glitter, metallic powder, or
gilding
powder and the aquarellable pencil outline with your water spray bottle
and a paper towel. Water will not disturb the
pattern! |
Do you want to add
more, clearly separate colors? Apply more glue and let that
dry. |
|
When
your second glue application is dry, brush in another glitter
color. |
|
Brush away the
excess with a blusher brush or a wide, flat brush. |
|
No
more worries about aftercare! The person can put
clothing
on over this body art. The person can shower, and the art
will
not come off! This body art will last between three and ten
days,
depending on how the person takes care of their art. |
|
Clean
your brushes with 91% isopropyl alcohol any time the Pros-Aide Adhesive
seems to be dragging at the brush, and when you set your
brush
down for a few minutes. When you are done, clean your brushes
thorougly with isopropyl alcohol. Dried glue can not be
removed
from brushes. |
|
Brush
gilding powder with Pros-Aide Adhesive "The Original" Liquid for
shimmering effects. The darker the skin, the more dramatic
the effect! Glitter over Pros-Aide Original liquid adhesive may last two weeks. Mica powder over Pros-Aide Original liquid adhesive may last one week. |
|
Mehron
Metallics over Pros-Aide Original liquid adhesive looks spectacular,
but usually only lasts a few days, because the metals tarnish when in
contact with skin. The silver lasts for several days, the
bronze lasts only one day. |
