Hi foras, I was about to do a post regarding your problems with attaching your Walker No-Shine, when I saw your new pics...... I`m impressed...looks like you did a nice job there...well -done.
Now to your tape-application issue. I`ll attach a few pics I took last week.
I know what you mean, with tape ` scrunching` up and coming away-from / off the lace. I have that issue when I use other tapes--notably, ` Supertape` ... I find the Walker, to be actually more ` rigid`, and easier to work -with.
I apply a strip of tape, then grip that taped area, so that my fingers are `in` the hair and the two thumbs are on the white backing-paper....squeeze firmly and whist still applying ` pressure`, move the thumbs from the middle of the strip, out to the edges [left and right]. I`m right-handed, so I then take a small [short] scissors, which has a nice sharp point, in my right hand, whist gripping the system at the taped area in my left one...... on one corner of the strip, gently slip the very tip of the scissors blade, in between the tape and paper....once you see the paper ` lifting`, then use the scissors to hold the tape against the lace [taking care not to pierce it through it !]--kind of `` flat`` ---then using the thumb and first finger of my left hand, I peel the backing-paper off, whilst holding the actual tape against the lace with the scissors, thus preventing it from pulling free.
I then ` reverse` [turn] the paper so the shiny, non-stick surface is now facing the strip of tape, crease/fold back one corner ` onto` itself, and this will be my grip-points for later ,once I have the system positioned correctly---- I gently/lightly press the paper against the tape[this will peel of very easily later] ....this prevents it sticking to the skin whilst I position the system........ some guys use `` Adjust-a-bond`` which is a grade of alcohol, which when sprayed onto the skin, prevents tape gripping for a bout a minute or in the case of a glued area of skin, prevents the lace sticking to the glue for a minute or so....... I just ``use`` my backing-paper to achieve the same thing and it actually means I can take my time.
Hope I have explained it in an easily -understood manner...the pics should help though ! Pics. were taken on my Phone, so please ` allow` for the quality.
3rd one shows how I`m `holding` the tape tight to the lace so when I begin to peel off the paper, the tape stays on. The 4th shows the ` reversed` papers with the corners folded back--- I can now sit that on,position it forward or back from the front hairline, and simply peel off the papers, and bond-on.
