I use PAX all the time but I was wondering, has anyone found a way to remove the tackyness of it without using powder? Has someone come up with an additive or a sealer yet? |

There is a product put out by Premiere Products called BETA BOND (the glue half of the Beta Bond/Beta Solv system). Year before last at the Makeup Artists Magazine convention in Pasadena, I had a chance to speak to one of the owners of the company and he showed me some PAX made from his Beta Bond acrylic glue. It's similar to Pros Aid but it IS easier to remove with less rubbing and scrubbing to get it off. Anyway, this PAX version stayed on my hand for three hours while I walked around the convention hall (to demonstrate it he put some on my hand). Well I had my hands in my pockets and didn't really consider worrying with it to maintain it. However, I didn't use any powder at all and it wasn't all that tacky. But it stayed on quite well. Then after three or more hours, I went back to their sales area and we removed it with the Beta Solv remover - minimal rubbing and it came off quite easily.I mean to say, I love PAX. I love Pros Aid. But the stuff is sticky. You can try Pros Aid II which is a lighter version of Pros Aid that's easier to remove. But I'll tell you this, they're both still really sticky such that you need to powder. You can try a sealer over the top if you have thoughts that might work. I don't see why it wouldn't. Besides, it helps to cut down on shine. Likewise, Michael Davy's has a great line of makeup that is pretty strong, stays put and removes with soap and water yet isn't sticky on the surface I don't believe. Check them out. Good luck.

FX Man knows his stuff!I have tried a light stipple of watered down Liquitex brand matte acrylic artist's varnish as a final seal with mixed results. ------------------

ADM Tronics (The company that makes Pros-Aide) has just come out with a new product calle "No Tack" It's a Pros Aide formula that requires no powder and is not tacky after drying. This is a great innovation!
I just saw the Ad in the latest issue of "MakeUp Artist Magazine". |

Hey Cinetech,THANKS for the great tip. See I should read the magazine more closely. But now I'll just wait till this Summer's convention and get some cheaper with the convention specials he's bound to give. But this is a great innovation to a great product if it works. OF course, the removal is the biggest issue - always has been with Pros Aid. But if it means less tack and less difficulty in removal, I'll be there on a gallon of that stuff for sure when I see him in June. THANKS for a great tip. Maybe I'll just order some to test and see how it works. This should be a real good tool in the arsenal. FXMan
