I've been a TopLace customer for years and I too have experienced problems with fraying these last couple of years... I never had fraying problems in the early TopLace years so I thought maybe it was the material used by the new factory... Well, I discovered something interesting... I was cleaning my office and I found a product I used to use on all my lace pieces. It's called TDi Knot & Tape Tab Sealer. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hairdirect.com/store/Tdi-Knot-Tape-Tab-Sealer-4Oz.aspx">http://www.hairdirect.com/store/Tdi-Kno ... r-4Oz.aspx</a><!-- m --> I decided to use it on a piece I was having serious fraying issues with and it solved the problem... I sprayed the underside and used a blow dryer to dry it. The next day I trimmed the frayed edges and washed and styled the unit. (No more fraying)

Back when I first started wearing lace pieces I used this stuff and I never had a problem with fraying, but then Debbie stopped selling it and I never searched for a new supplier. I thought it was just good for sealing knots. I had no idea this stuff was good for preventing fraying.
