You will need

• Vaseline

• or Pro Bondo release & Seal which both acts as it says to release but provides a coating to seal the Bondo making it more durable and less likely to cause the product to lift/catch fluff

• clean businesses card or something with a flat edge to scrape the excess bondo

• alcohol colouring palettes or cream colours

If you are someone who likes to colour your own material then the clear would be sufficient. Only ensure you use the right product that is skin safe to colour it.

I personally carry 4 kinds:

Clear, Pink, Light Flesh, Dark Flesh. Then I add what I need to customise. But I do find that these all work as is as you colour the appliance once it’s on. But if you want to minis colour time then definitely take the time to colour your mix first.

Ensuring you have done your skin prep including barrier agent, I find that removal can be tricky on how much extra glue if any has been applied.

Take it slow, get your cast involved as they know their skin best. Using your removal agent find a corner that is easy to lift and push your product underneath. rub the removing agent all over the area as well to help ease it off.

• Use powder puff soaked in the removal agent

• a brush

A little redness is normal, but be gentle.

Finally, go over the area with removal agent, wash with soapy water and finish with a hot towel to bring back moisture to the skin as a nice step

I’ve always used IPA (isopropyl myristate). But depending on the strength of the material or your struggle to remove then:

1. Telesis Super Solv (available at Scotty’s Syd)

2. Ben Nye Bond Off (very strong, can cause skin irritation so patch test first)
