How to apply

Silicone

To apply the silicone version of this prosthetic, simply remove from packaging and place the prosthetic on a cleanable surface (such as a stainless steel palette). Clean the area of the skin on the desired area of appliance application; use a product that will remove excess oil from the surface of the skin (such as an alcohol based product); this will enhance the bond. Apply a silicone adhesive (such as Kryolan Silicone Adhesive) to the contact side of the prosthetic evenly and in small quantity. Apply the same adhesive to the appropriate area of skin. Allow plenty of time to dry (this is important, because any adhesive that is not dry before application will remain uncured, bubble and not bond). Once the adhesive is dry to the touch, apply the prosthetic to the area of skin; press the prosthetic in the centre, keeping the edges up (if possible) to make sure all air is removed, gently pressing down the prosthetic, working outwards. Once fully applied, apply even, high pressure to ensure the silicone adhesive is fully bonded.

Now that the prosthetic is applied to the skin, simply use acetone to blend out the edges of the prosthetic. To do this, use a cotton swab soaked in a small amount of acetone, working out the edges into the skin (Avoid too much contact with the skin, as acetone is very drying to skin). Once all the edges are blended out, apply a setting powder over the prosthetic and surrounding skin (such as WRATH Super-Set Powder) to remove excess moisture and tackiness from adhesive. Allow time to set and heavily dust off the area with a powder brush.

You are now ready to apply your desired make-up and blood if required. Alcohol activated make-up is ideal for application onto silicone prosthetics.
