Having trouble with Gelatin Prosthetics and sweating? Maybe this will help:

We all know that gelatin and heat = sweat! Not good. Your pieces start lifting off, drooping and eventually melting!

 Next time, try this simple method of applying your gelatin pieces:

1. Clean skin with a good astingent, then a good conditioner/moisturizer to protect the skin.
2. Seal with a a product like Sweat Stop or Top Guard.
3. Apply a light coat of pros-aid to the area. Allow to dry.
4. Powder using a translucent product. Remove any excess.
5. Pros-aid procedure again.
6. Powder procedure again.
7. Pros-aid once again - NO powder this time. Allow to dry.
8. Apply Pros-aid to gelatin piece. Allow to dry.
9. Apply the gelatin piece. DO NOT STRETCH IT.
10.Blend edge with warm witch hazel LIGHTLY. Use a "rolling" motion with a Q-Tip in the direction AWAY from the edge and onto the skin.
11. Apply a coat of Liquid Bandage over the entire piece.
12. Pros-aid the edge of liquid bandage more than the gelatin piece its self.
13. Powder lightly and remove excess.
*A slightly damp sponge removes the matt from the powder.
14. Apply makeup.

I know some will say, "Why Liquid Bandage?"
My answer: "Because it has worked for me many times."
If another sealor will work for you on a gelatin piece as well as LB does for me, then, by all means, use that. In the end, it's always up to the artist.

Good Luck!
