Some cosmetic salons may be able to apply a merkin for you. These merkins are made from fox fur, and are glued onto your skin. [3] X Research source
Try to get something high quality. It may be more expensive, but a cheaper product may irritate your skin. If you have not used spirit gum before, or have sensitive skin, consider doing a patch test on your inner elbow or wrist to see whether or nor you are allergic to the spirit gum. If you are allergic, consider using wig tape instead.
Most bottles of spirit gum will have a brush attached to the cap, like nail polish. If yours did not come with a brush, use popsicle stick or a clean brush with short, stiff bristles instead.
Merkins are reusable. If you’d like to wear your merkin more often, take it off, clean it, and reapply it using the same method listed above. You can also secure it using some wig tape instead.
Be sure to have several q-tips handy.
Spirit gum remover can leave behind an oily residue. If this happens, simply wipe it off using a soft cloth soaked with rubbing alcohol.
