Sounds good, Can I get a week out of Got2bglued? Also, What is a good brand of ORWG? Where can I get it? How much of a pain is ORWG to clean up?

Which is better for releasing glue, spray or dab on? Seems like spray would get more on hair and damage?

Thank you for all the good feedback. I unfortunately ordered my second one 6 weeks ago but it is without poly. I may do concealer and go with a full topper on next order in March probably.
