Just can't keep that wig on in water? A little trick for you!

A TRICK I have had to work out and now love :
I have applied alot of wigs in my career and used alot of adhesives. Everyone has a better way
and a preferred product. Thats all well and good, but when the wig is coming off and you are in the middle of the ocean or your actor is sweating like a sprinkler......reach for the MASTIX P.
DONT FORGET TO ORDER with the P.
Its relatively inexpensive and it is readily available from Makeup Suppliers.
It is a Kryolan product and it is clear and it works for me. Let me know if you have tried it.
Dont forget to use a damp powder puff to press down lace on the skin.
