HOW TO REMOVE PEEL AND STICK PROSTHETICS

Step by Step Instructions

  • 99% Isopropyl Alcohol, Stiff Brush, Sealer, Paint

  • Clean your chosen area thoroughly to remove any makeup/oils/dirt that might be present. Make sure the skin is completely dry before you apply your prosthetic. DO NOT remove the plastic backing until you are ready to adhere.

  • Place the prosthetic on the skin with the plastic backing still attached and position it where you want it to be applied.

  • Slowly peel off the plastic backing and place the prosthetic onto the skin (sticky side down). Press firmly to secure it in place.

  • Use 99% ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL and a small stiff brush to remove paper edge. Place your brush up against the paper, but on the prosthetic and work your way around until it is fully released. Remove and discard.

  • Blend away any remaining edges. If needed use a stipple sponge to stipple Pros-Aide over the edge of the piece and back onto the skin to help blending.

  • Once dry lightly powder and remove the excess

  • Stipple or Spray with a coat of Sealer

  • Paint to finish

APPLICATION

  • Remover (Super Solve, 244 Fluid, Natural Oil), Brush/Cotton Swab or Pads/Finger, Water, Gentle Cleanser

  • Use a brush, cotton swab or a finger to place remover along the edges of the piece.

  • Focus on gently lifting an edge away from the skin. Once you have an edge lifted, work your way under the piece with your remover until you can remove the piece fully.

  • Working in circular motions with cotton pad and remover clean away any excess material left over.

  • Use a gentle cleanser to wash away the remaining remover

Tips + Tricks

Sealers

Using a sealer will help your piece hold up longer under stress. It will also help your transition from prosthetic to skin be more smooth and even. Simply spray or stipple over your piece and the adjacent area.

Longevity

For a stronger bond use a thin layer of pros-aide glue on the skin before applying the piece. This is perfect for long wear, or areas with lots of movement, example- mouth, fingers, forehead furrows.

Blending

If while blending you find the paper is getting in your way you can cut the paper to either take sections away or make small darts to make it more flexible.

Placing the pros-aide

While the piece is still on the backing, hold it against the skin on the desired location. Take a translucent powder and tap along the entire outside edge of the piece. When you pull the piece away you will have a powder guideline. Place the pros-aide glue just on the inside of this guide, then brush the powder away.

Blending Sweat

If your placement or subject is prone to sweating; use a sweat stop product to combat this issue. Follow the product guidelines and make sure it has dried fully before moving on.

Buckling/Sticking

If you have encountered a fold in the piece simply use some 99% isopropyl alcohol on a small bush and see if you can melt away the fold. If this doesn’t work try pressing and pulling the piece with your brush using 99% isopropyl alcohol.

Backing is STicking

When you are removing the plastic backing if you find an area sticking try lifting from a different area. If it is still sticking, wet a finger and gently help lift the prosthetic away from the backing.

Easier Removal

Use a warm moist towel to help with removal. Place over your piece and allow the moisture to help lift the piece.

Delicate Area

If you have a delicate area you’re applying to try using a barrier cream like "Derma Shield” to protect it.
