Jrob, thanks. That's my problem then, I only applied one coat of white glue to the tape, not two. I have your video, which is where I got the idea from, but I thought one would be enough and when I di...

I have tried a number of tapes that claim to have no/little shine but they still shine on my low density piece. Anyone who wears low density and tape on their system? Thanks

Xeon, does WW with water cause the hair to be stiff at all while it's on? I've never tried it. Also, do you wear a full cap?
