Thread: Need Help - Traveling and Forgot Lace Release
Post: RE: Need Help - Traveling and Forgot Lace Release

If you are wearing a system single-handed (i.e. you don't have a wife or girlfriend who's helping you) you definitely need to invest in good mirrors - a big well-lit wall-mounted one plus a bi... |

Thread: Question/advice
Post: RE: Question/advice
| I don't pretend to be any kind of guru, but I still think you would be better with some small sharp scissors. Or you could pin the piece to a polystyrene wig head and do it with a blade. |

Thread: strongest tape
Post: RE: strongest tape
| Are you letting it cure properly? It has to have at least 3-4 hours (ideally 24 hours) with no water and no heavy sweating.
Ultrahold Tape is about the strongest I have found. |
