Hi UncleDonald,
Please remember that you do not have a Toplace unit. You bought it from someone representing himself as Toplace (see response to your post titled 'toupet hair lighter (of weigth) than own hair.' Only orders placed on this site come from the factory that Toplace uses and only that factory provides the original Toplace quality. Anyhow, one solution to your problem is to put
some rubbing alcohol on a clean cloth and swipe the bottom of the base. This will clean the base and remove anything that might be causing the tape not to stick.
Regards,
John
