I am planning on wearing some
of the old style pasties i have here.
(the kind you have to glue on)
I don't have any more pastie glue sticks.
What is the best glue that i can use that
holds very well?
Elmers?.... or other?

I don't think Elmers would work at all - too much oil in the skin for it to adhere to anything. Maybe you should get the double-sided tape that's used to keep low-cut gowns in place - it's made to stick to the skin - don't want those puppies popping off in the middle of a show!! :o
Is there any kind of adhesive you could buy at a supermarket or drugstore that would work well?
Or does a drugstore or supermarket sell double sided tape used for skin??
I would look for some spirit gum at a costume shop - that will keep them on all night. I do know of women that have made a little loop out of first aid tape to keep them on, though!

The rainbow glue sticks always worked for me.. the ones that are like orange at the top, then purple, then red, you know...

i know it sounds silly asking if i could get adhesives in supermarkets or drugstores but i am getting back to dancing after a year and lost my pasty stick. I am strapped for cash so I cannot really order any of those cool self stick hologram pasties online since I can't find them around town.
Spirit Gum. $5 per bottle...
Hi tell you what really works....i have done it!!! POLIDENT POLIGRIP for dentures. does wonders, and to take your pasties off, just wet around them some. No pain. Great hold. Pamela :D
great idea Pamela! i used that too once since i usually get a skin allergy reaction to most adhesives that itches like mad. i wish i'd known about how to get them off with water, though, because at the time i really thought they'd be stuck on there for the rest of my life (i think i ripped off about 3 layers of skin! OUCH!).
Many thanks for all the great suggestions!!
I'll try them all out to see which works the best!
non toxic glue stick works for me- the blue kids kind and it is only a buck or two. I prefer to make latex pasties and add glitter for full coverage and hairsprayto seal- but laws vary from place two place on what is legal.
At the Hustler Club in SF (where we all had to wear pasties) the best glue was called Bikini Bite. It's what Vegas Showgirls and Professional BodyBuilders use to keep their costumes on. It's a roll-on liquid that dries quick. You can pull the pasties off while it's dry, although that hurts a bit. Or you can wet them and the glue gets tacky, but won't pull the skin.
