yeah i never really use the alcohol slide or anything. Maybe i should start! lol.

Xeon mate that should help..after i apply tape to my piece, i actually use my hairspray to spray my scalp, cos that contains alcohol, and gives me time to position my system better. Sometimes I still need to lift up and replace again but it helps a lot. After i spray the 'alcohol' i position the piece on my head, and when im happy the hairline is in place,i pull on both temples of the piece to try and make it as straight as possible before i press down, if that makes sense. Once i got the front down i pull the middle area of the piece by both side to make sure the sides are tight then press down and same for back area. If i ever get ripples, its always in the back or slightly on a side, never in front, I rather it in the back then in the front. We only have 2 hands, and doing this stuff on yourself is really not easy at times... I always wondered how easy it would be doing this stuff on someone else.. would be a dam piece of cake!!! We could give them the best attachment!! lol
