Spirit Gum Application     
1. Spirit Gum is basically contact cement for the skin.
2. To begin with make sure you clean any area of the skin with alcohol or witch hazel to clean any oils and dirt out of the way. Remove any hair that will be under the appliance or it may get pulled out when removing the appliance.
3. Apply a thin layer of spirit gum to the skin where you are placing the appliance and apply a thin layer of spirit gum to the appliance.
4. Allow the spirit gum to get tacky on both the skin and appliance. You can tap the spirit gum lightly with a finger until it becomes tacky to check it. It is tacky when little strings of gum stick to your finger.
5. Once the spirit gum is tacky, press the appliance in place and hold for a couple of minutes.
6. For larger appliances, prefit the piece in place and mark
the outside edges with an eyeliner pencil (or anything that will wash off) so you know where to apply the spirit gum.
