Description
This water-based, medical-grade acrylic adhesive is designed for long-term skin contact and high-performance prosthetic applications. It is widely used in film, television, theater, cosplay, and special effects makeup.
Pros-Aide II is very similar to the Original in all its characteristics except that many cleansers and adhesive solvents will break it down.
To remove, loosen the appliance with rubbing alcohol or a similar agent, then soak the adhesive with adhesive cleansers and gently rub it off with your fingers. Wipe off with cotton or warm, wet towels rather than tissue.

Instructions
Ensure skin is clean, dry, and free of oils, makeup, or lotions before application. Clean the appliance surface as well.
Application
- Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive to both the skin and the prosthetic using a brush, sponge, or spatula.
- Allow the adhesive to air-dry until it becomes clear and tacky.
- Carefully position the appliance and press firmly into place, working from the center outward to avoid air bubbles.
- Apply light pressure for several seconds to ensure full contact.
- Additional thin layers may be applied for stronger hold.
- Once set, the bond is flexible and suitable for long wear.
Removal
- Gently loosen edges and use an approved adhesive remover.
- Do not pull or force removal, as this may irritate the skin.
