Hi Sophie,

Yes, that is the same idea I am playing with trying to find an agent
that blocks out the henna. Unfortunately, I've still got that stain
on my palm that came and has decided to stay forever. But I've got
it off the back of my hand and arm enough to start playing again.
There is an arts and crafts product...can't think of the name of it
right now...that operates like a paint in that it has a lot of colors
and is used to make designs and such. But it comes in a tube and can
be squeezed out into shapes onto acetate. Left to dry and then
peeled off, it adheres to windows, walls, ceramics etc. I know that
it will also adhere to skin but will it do so well enough to block
out the henna is another question. I will have to dig through my
boxes to find it and the name of it. But the shapes...once
made...are reusable over and over again. Put them on and peel them
off. In a way it reminds me of that paint and peel nail polish.
(Speaking of which...never put that stuff on your toe nails. Never
comes off.) The paint and peel nail polish is similar but much
thinner in consistency than the other product. They both should work
to block out or serve as a resist. The only question I have is
whether or not there would be a reaction with this stuff and the
oils, lemon or whatever else one chooses to put in their paste.
Since I would want to block out spaces that I had already hennaed and
obtained a lighter stain, I don't know if this stuff will act as an
exfoliant and make the stain lighter when peeled off. It is worth a
shot. Both products are suppose to be non-toxic. I am going to look
for this paint like stuff I am speaking of and provide the name this
afternoon. Making me crazy not to be able to think of it. If this
stuff works I will be glad to send you some to play with as well.
Try that paint and peel finger nail polish if you have any available
to see if it works. I found the nail polish at a flea market for
about $.25 a bottle.
