Re: [h-cost] Temporary facial hair ...few ideas...fish-y smelling glue
Back in the day when I wore fake eyelashes ,i remember them using surgical glue, smelled a little fishy was white and opaque. Spirit gum is usually amber colored,like tree sap. Yah the neckline tape sounds the same as the toupee tape. melody --- On Wed, 7/1/09, Hanna Zickermann wrote: From: Hanna Zickermann Subject: Re: [h-cost] Temporary facial hair ...few ideas...

Eastern Daylight Time, celticredhead2...@yahoo.com writes: hair pieces" are available at "The Halloween Club" stores all year round ** The local CVS pharmacy has hair pieces! One or two would do a whole beard and they come in different colors and textures. I don't know what kind of "hair" they are made from. Anyway, hair seems to be easy to find these days. I remember from school a Q & D beard session using bought hair and spirit gum. He "gummed" one section at a timesections that naturally occur in a beard, like the left side of the mustache and the right side, the chin and then the jaw, and then the sideburns that kind if thing. After that one gummed section got tacky, he took the hair and spread it out in his hand to a thin layer holding it between his thumb and the side of his hand with ends sticking up about an inch above his thumb and hand . This was pushed into the gum with the hair in the direction it should lay. For instance, for say the left mustache, you come in from the left with the hair pointing in the direction it would naturally lay and sorta push the hair up into the gum. You will need several layers so start at the bottom of the section and work up. Always do a beard longer than you want the finished one so you can trim it into shape after it's stuck on. Also, this was not a do it yourself operation. You always get better results if someone does the beard for someone else...not doing one on yourself. But of course if you're careful... and take your time It does take a while to complete a full beard. **Dell Laptops: Huge Savings on Popular Laptops – Deals starting at $399(http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100126575x1222883570x1201497211/aol?redir=http:%2F%2Faltfarm.mediaplex.com%2Fad%2Fck%2F12309%2D81939%2D1629%2D0) ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Spirit gum glues are usually resin based, think tree sap.. and need special spirit gum remover or you will be very sorry if you try to just rip the hair off.
