Hi Darius, If that’s the case (reattaching while the system is in your head), I’m afraid we’re in the same situation. I have not been able to do the sliding thing properly or maybe it has took me so time that I later regretted not to have done a whole reattach instead of a partial one. What I have done in those cases is cutting a small piece of strong plastic folder instead of the CD cover.

Since I full reattach every 6/7 days, what I usually do around the 4th day, is spraying carefully alcohol at the very front, wait a couple of minuts, clean with pure my head underneath, have a shower shampooing the whole system and then reattach with glue again. The whole thing forgetting about mirror-sliding the lace.

I use very thin coats of glue in my attachments so when I do a partial reattachment it looks very good even if the lace hasn’t been 100% cleaned.

Cheers,
