Post: Has anyone tried Leo Bond?

Curious as to how good the bond is. It's a hybrid that has silicone in it and it's supposed to give a long strong bond and work well for people with sensitive skin. I saw nothing but good reviews and ...

Post: RE: Got2B users? Any better glue?

You don't want to use ORWG for daily removal it cures in 24 hours and it's a pretty damn strong hold. You're looking at more than 10 extra minutes each day and I really don't think it would be good fo...

It's a TL 250. French lace base with poly back and sides. 55%/60% with custom vitalization. I wanted something stronger and more forgiving for my first couple pieces.

Anty, the only reason I wouldn't recommend the thin skin would be because of his exercising. That could get pretty hot and uncomfortable I think. I could be wrong though.

I'd just start a new thread for the template. Make sure to wet your hair down when making the template. You'll get a better fit that way.
