Does it have to be removed after a certain amount of time (hours, days), or can it be left on indefinitely?How long can a skin adhesive like spirit gum be left on the skin/body?
Spirit Gum is vile stuff, and should be avoided whenever possible. It's really a holdover from an era when makeup techniques were pretty pre-historic. There are surgical adhesives that hold hairpieces in place FAR better, with less skin irritation; and they're easier to get off afterwards.
Unless you're wearing a false beard/moustache in a show where you also have to move very vigorously, the best thing you can use is toupee tape. This is a super-adhesive two-sided tape. You apply one side to the inside of the hairpiece, slap the thing on your face, and there it stays.How long can a skin adhesive like spirit gum be left on the skin/body?
If you're talking about spirit gum, it will eventually wear itself off as it is not a very dependable adhesive. Especially if you are moving a lot, sweating, or under hot lights. However, even the medical strength adhesives can wear off after a few hours. The adhesive may stay on your skin while the object being adhered will come loose. Most adhesives wont stay on the skin for more than a few days under normal circumstances.
Spirit gum will start to hurt the skin after a few hours.
spirit gum is so nasty smelling and the remover is nasty too...just break out the rubber cement!! lol.
