Thread: life span of system (newbie)
Post: Re: life span of system (newbie)

The system might look "wiggy" for the first week until it settles in (that's what styling product is for). Then if your specs are on it looks great for anywhere from 2-4 months,... |

| It helps to have another set of eyes mark the perimeter.
If in doubt, order lace and make it a little larger than you think you might need. You can easily trim it down if it's too big. |
