Taping Lace Front - teko - 08-21-2009
I have just started wearing a lace front piece & am having trouble with the tape sticking to the lace itself. I am using tape strips that are marked in blue text for "Lace Fronts". Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Those sound like the tape I use.
After you apply the tape, you have to really press the tape down onto the lace to get it to attach. Try using a straight edge of some sort to rub over the tape so that it sticks even better. A ruler or the edge of a scissors or something that you can slide over the strip will made it grip when you apply the pressure.
Then try to peal off a small edge, and then pull towards the side, not upwards. Pulling up will rip it from the lace. Try pullling the paper off the lace with a sideways direction.
See how that works!
P.S. Make sure the lace is dry and does not have any alcohol or lace release on it. This can hinder the adhesive.

What i do is once the tape is applied to the entire edge of the system ( French Lace) I take a rolling pin and lay the system so the lace is facing up and roll it out using alot of pressure, this really make the tape stick to the lace. I also roll out each peise of Supertape to get rid of the shine and to also make the tape a little thinner, try it out it really helps

I do something similar with tape I press has much pressure on it as possible and like you said it does help it adhere to the lace and thin it out.
