Instruction Sheet
Application Instructions for Prosthetic Transfers:
Start by cleansing the prosthetic with either 99% Isopropyl Alcohol or Acetone, ensuring it dries completely.
Gently tap the prosthetic; if it feels excessively sticky, proceed to the next step. If not tacky, lightly stipple Prosaide Adhesive onto the surface, allowing it to dry.
Place the Water Slide paper on a flat, dry surface, ensuring the shiny side faces up.
Carefully flip the prosthetic piece, pressing it gently onto the Water Slide transfer paper, focusing on complete contact, especially at the edges.
Trim excess acetate and Water Slide paper around the prosthetic, cutting as close as possible without affecting the prosthetic piece.
Peel off the clear acetate from the water slide paper, leaving the prosthetic securely attached.
Press the prosthetic piece firmly onto the actor's skin.
Soak a folded paper towel in warm water, removing excess water to prevent dripping, and press it over the Water Slide paper until thoroughly saturated.
As the Water Slide paper begins to loosen, gently remove it, leaving the prosthetic in place on the actor's skin.
Use a cotton bud or brush dipped in 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to seamlessly blend the edges into the skin.
After blending, use a stipple sponge soaked in Prosaide for additional blending and sealing along the prosthetic edges.
Apply colour as needed.
Spritz a light layer of makeup sealer over the finished piece.
Additional Tips:
Before trimming, hold the piece up to light, marking key points for precise placement using a makeup pencil or ballpoint pen (avoiding indelible markers).
Avoid transferring the piece to the Water Slide paper more than 15 minutes before use to preserve intricate details.
Use 99% Alcohol for pre-blending the edges if necessary before transferring onto the Water Slide Paper.
Removal:
Use an oil-based remover like Pro Clean for removal. Avoid using Isopropyl Alcohol, as it may marginally dissolve the prosthetic, making removal more challenging.
