Spirit Gum Will Stick Anything!

The best way to apply any sort of theatrical application, like a fake nose or beard, is with the tried and true method of spirit gum. You can find it at any theatrical supply or magic shop or online from a company like Ben Nye Makeup. Spirit gum is generally sold in small doses and is a brush on adhesive. Be sure, however, to buy spirit gum remover as well! Removing that fake nose can become fairly messy without it!
