This application method is done all using bondo. This means the actual prosthetic pice is made out of bondo which is like a solid glue.
1) Put pros-aide on the back of the piece
2) Transfer pros-aide onto arm then lift piece away again
3) Dry the pros-aide on piece and arm until it goes completely clear
4) Press the mold onto the skin
5) Peel the outer mold off and the piece will stay on the skin
6) Blend away edges with alcohol
Advantages:
- Very quick method
- Piece is completely transparent so you don't have to colour piece and skin.
Disadvantages:
- Takes a lot more preparation time
- Piece not as durable and can melt and change slightly if on for a long time.

Frame Application
This application is done using a card frame around the silicone piece that keeps it taught and still.
1) Put Pros-aide over back of piece
2) Transfer pros-aide onto arm then lift piece away again
3) Dry pros-aide on piece and arm until it goes completely clear
4) Stick piece to skin, using frame to keep it still
5) Blend away spare edge attached to frame with alcohol so frame comes off
6) Tidy edges with alcohol and stipple alcohol of whole piece
7) Colour
Advantages:
- Frame keeps piece still and means to creases will occur in the prosthetic.
Disadvantages:
- Takes more prep time than normal.

Regular Method
This is the normal method used to apply silicone flat pieces.
1) Put lots of pros-aide onto the back of the piece
2) Transfer the pros-aide onto the skin
3) Take piece away and dry until glue goes clear (dry from directly above so edges don't wrinkle)
4) Stick down onto skin
5) Pros-aide edges, transfer to skin and dry
5) Stick edges down to skin
6) Blend away edges with alcohol
Advantages:
- more precise than other two methods so easier to recreate if have to do multiple times across different days
Disadvantages:
- slower than other methods
- easier to get wrong which ruins appearance of piece.
