Spirit Gum Adhesive by Graftobian

Spirit Gum is a tried-and-true adhesive that has been a staple in the theater and film industries for decades. This versatile glue is perfect for attaching prosthetics, lace hair pieces, and crepe wool applications to the skin, making it a must-have for professional makeup artists, cosplayers, and Halloween enthusiasts alike. Available in various sizes, Spirit Gum is suitable for any project, whether you're applying a small mustache or preparing a full stage production.

The 1 mil vial is ideal for small applications like a mustache, while the 1/4 oz. size is perfect for a few wax applications or attaching smaller prosthetics, making it a popular choice for Halloween costumes. The 1 oz. size offers enough product for almost any project, yet is compact enough to fit in your makeup kit. For larger productions, the 8 oz. and 32 oz. bottles are designed to supply a theater or studio, with the added convenience of refilling smaller containers as needed.

Using Spirit Gum is simple but effective. Start by ensuring the skin is clean and dry, then paint the adhesive onto the area where the appliance will attach. Tap it lightly until it becomes tacky before pressing the item in place. You can secure the edges with additional adhesive if needed. When it’s time to remove the application, Spirit Gum Remover is essential for gently loosening the adhesive without irritating the skin.

A helpful tip: Before applying Spirit Gum, pour a small portion into a dish or cup. This allows it to start drying, reducing the waiting time for it to become tacky. This method is especially useful when time is of the essence, such as during a quick costume change or a busy production schedule.

Safety is paramount when using Spirit Gum, especially during extended wear. For prolonged use, apply the remover gently with a cotton swab or a brush, allowing it to soak into the adhesive before removing the attached item carefully. This helps minimize skin irritation. As with any adhesive, discontinue use if any discomfort occurs, and clean the area thoroughly with the remover.

When purchasing Spirit Gum, remember that it contains alcohol, which affects shipping options. For the most economical rate, opt for ground shipping during checkout. This classic adhesive remains an essential tool for anyone serious about special effects makeup, cosplay, or theatrical performances. Keep a bottle of Spirit Gum on hand, and make your creative vision come to life with confidence!
