Title: Glue, Packers, and Nudity
Post by: ghostwhisperer on July 31, 2015, 02:54:23 PM
Hello there! Question for guys who glue their packer on!

I'm an actor and I have an audition coming up and if cast, I will probably be nude onstage. I want to glue a packer on my front and I'm gathering some information so I can start working on creating a realistic look now. This may be TMI, but I have grown out all of my pubic hair so that I have the option of covering the edges of the packer up with the hair. So, for those who have experience, is there a preferred brand of glue? Your opinion on the most realistic (soft) packer? Also, if cast, I will be doing a lot of dancing/movement, so it is imperative that the packer does not fall off. A little pain from peeling the glue off or getting pubes caught in it is fine -- I'll get over it. I have olive skin and I usually pack with a mango-pink one, but I can put stage makeup on most pink-colored packers.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

A lot of people on here seem to be having issues getting their prosthetics to adhere, especially during intense movement/excercise or for long periods of time without it sliding around...

Maybe, since you'll be on a stage (I'm assuming?), a clear elastic harness might be useful...at least as a back up support system.

Just be mindful that if you are sweating it might also unstick the glue job. Good luck at the audition!

For some reason from the op title I thought you were talking about football, arts and crafts, in the nude. This makes more sense. Sorry, I'm really tired. Wish I had some good advice.

To my mind, if you want a prosthetic you can glue, I advise you Tyron SOFT/FLACCID packer. I belive it could work. http://tyron2.net/6.html
Remind you need to get an Xtrastrengh glue !

try ECProsthetics silicone adhesive,  stuff works crazy good, and looks real as you can blend abd sculpt the edges with your skin.
