What are you using for your prosthetics right now? Something from here http://www.aradanicostumes.com/elfears.php ?

A pair from Eddy's trick shop, but I don't have then anymore (they bottoms stuck together and then tore trying out the dried tech)

They are nice, however they are spirit glued down (at least i assume since that's the standard technique)

So, what part of the spirit gumming bugs you? How I do mine - I put a bit on the front flap that goes between my sideburn and ear, and then a little bit of spirit gum on the cuff at the bottom of the ear. Just those two places, nowhere else.

Do you do it the same way, and if so, where does it bug you?

Another possibility might be to get used to it - if you've still got the old pair, cut a few pieces of them off and glue them on in the same places where you glue the whole thing. Leave them on for a few days :)

As silly as it sounds.... it's mostly that I can't stand the stick.. every time it shifts, peels, moves or such I just want to rip them off.. and once I have them off I pick at the glue spots till all of it is off...

Well, I got nothing then. I thing the 'get used to it' method might work best. :)

Another possibility is to get some ear cuffs to cover up where the bottom part meets your ear, hopefully it would minimize the ear moving and triggering the spirit gum peel reaction. Could also use liquid latex on the top part (after spirit gumming it down) to blend it in, and therefore hold the edges down a little better.
