Purpose Fulfilled
The glue will held on for 7 to 8 hours when the body was not an active motion the entire time. I mainly sat at my work desk and did things that I needed to get done. Pros: - Easy to apply easy to take off - Has strongholds based on layers added but I only add 2 - It may look like it's a small bottle but based on what I'm using it for It's just the right amount (I don't see myself going through this quickly) - It's also not that difficult to remove from wig hair (at least not for me) Cons: - You cannot read the ingredients on the bottle so good luck - Not sweatproof, Very unlikely water resistant but I haven't checked yet Cosplay tips: • always test on your skin before using. Not all glues are made the same therefore they will interact differently. I tried to read the ingredients on the bottle but I can't. • when removing the object you adhesive to your skin I used 95% rubbing alcohol on a q-tip and I twirled it gently between the lace and my skin when removing the cap. • make sure the surface is dry before applying to reduce any peaks or valleys made by the glue when it dries. • Is your job to prove how you lay the wig on an adhesive it to your hairline there's only so much the glue could do. • If you want it to stay flat and you want to keep pressure on it I used a bandana to wrap around my head so I don't have to keep holding it there while it dries and secures itself. I would recommend this bottle because not only is it a good size for what I'm using it for. I don't wear wigs everyday but I enjoy being able to wear it throughout my day or portion of my day and that's what this does for me.

Great for drag!
As a drag performer, I need products that can keep up with me through high-energy performances, meet-and-greets, and hosting shows all night—and Mehron Makeup Spirit Gum delivers! This adhesive is a game-changer for keeping my wig secure, even during the most intense routines. The easy brush application makes it super simple to use, allowing for precise and mess-free application. I love how it dries clear and doesn’t leave any sticky residue after removal. A pro tip: make sure to use a bit of heat (I use a blow dryer on low) to ensure the gum sets completely—it makes all the difference for maximum hold. I wore my wig for over 4 hours of dancing, quick changes, and high-energy antics, and it stayed perfectly in place. It’s also a relief to know that it doesn’t irritate my skin, even after extended wear. If you’re a drag performer, cosplayer, or just looking for reliable adhesive for Halloween or special effects, this spirit gum is a must-have in your kit. It’s strong, reliable, and easy to use—everything you need to slay the night!

works for wigs :)
worked great for my wig! go in w a LIGHT application like get rid of the excess from the brush before u apply or else 1) it'll leave an orange color 2) it won't secure properly,, blowdry and repeat (before laying down the lace). I did like 4 layers. my wig was in high pigtails so I had someone help me w the back,, if u take ur time w it u can get a real nice secure hold. it held up for a solid 10 hrs (I haven't tested longer wear) I used rubbing alcohol to remove the glue. take ur time so u don't hurt ur skin :)

Works well, not for moving parts
Works great as long as it's not being attached to a moving part. My nose prosthetic held very well, but the chin prosthetic fell off about a dozen times. Super irritating.

Great product, met my needs
As a player of Santa for many years, and typically only being able to find smaller bottles at the local costume shops, this size works well for the entire Santa season. It works well, with little one’s hands that are always grabbing and pulling at Santa’s beard. Lasts for several hours to keep the beard in place, if you follow the directions. I would recommend it for similar uses.

Arrived much better than last batch
I ordered this spirit gum once before in a smaller bottle along with remover. I found the remover unnecessary. It can't be used on latex prosthetics and is harsh on skin. I wash and flake off residue on my elf ears and just wash my skin. The spirit gum in the small bottle was thick and gunky. It had even gunked up the lid so badly that I had to use pliers to open it. This bottle appears to be much fresher. The product is liquid and the lid isn't glued closed. I haven't used it yet, but will add update when I do.

Was not as high quality as it seemed
At first the product seemed like it would work due to how strong the prosthetic felt glued in place. But after an hour with minimal movement, no sweating and no humidity, it did not hold the prosthetic in place.

Be careful if you are allergic to adhesive
This stuff worked great!!! I used it for a costume where I glued pasta all over my face, and it held for hours!! Just follow the directions. I found it helped to put the glue on my face and the pasta, let both get tacky, and then put on my face by pressing firmly. Just do a test patch if you are sensitive to adhesive. The glue around my cheeks and chin was fine, but my eyebrows were a little angry when I took the pasta off. They were fine by the next morning. I forgot I am allergic to the adhesive in any kind of tape or bandaid, so I definitely should have tested before putting it everywhere,but it was fine. The bottle is small, so if you have a lot of glueing to do, get the bigger one. It came off easily with some rubbing alcohol.

Used it to secure my elf ears for a photoshoot, it worked very well and held them until I was done with them. And you don’t need very much!

I was unable to get this product to adhere a lace beard. I have had lots of experience with Spirit Gum and this brand was a lot thinner and more alcohol smelling than others. It stuck the beard initially buy it fell off with very slight facial movements. Not recommended for lace hair products.
