Hello PipperStef, When you say ``How many times can I wear these different bases`` do you mean how long you will expect them to last before you need to order new ones ? I only have experience of wearing sfs bought from Toplace and I get 5/6 months at least.... I posted some pictures a few days ago as you will have seen and that system is 5 months old. The TL700 is probably going to last a lot longer than lace as it`s a thin type of Poly....that would be stronger than lace-- maybe a person who wears one can let us know what is the`life`of one. It depends a lot on how you treat you system.... a lot of swimming, for example, will mean a shorter `life`for a system, or a person working outside on a building site, with dust and exposure to the summer sun, will naturally shorten the life of any system, no matter who supplied you with it.
As for attachment materials[ glue & tapes] Glue will NOT pass through lace when you perspire....you apply glue to your scalp, allow it to go clear [`tacky`] and only then should you press your lace down onto it....the glue remains `set` and will not revert to a liquid form so no..it will not pass through the lace.The good thing about lace is it allows the scalp to `breathe` and sweat to evaporate....obviously the portion of scalp which has the glue and/or tape attached is not so well-able to breathe, hence the need to do a regular de-bond and clean, both of your scalp, and system, for hygiene if nothing else. I guess it`s possible if a wearer leaves a system bonded for weeks at a time, that the glue/tapes will begin to degrade and liquify so at that point, it can possibly seep through lace but doing a regular de-bond will avoid that possibility...... the delivery time is possibly 2 months in total from the time you post your template to America,it is shipped to china, your system/s are prepared and shipped back to Toplace and then back to you. Your second order will be faster as your details and template are on file. I haven`t worn ILace so cannot comment on it for you... hope some of that helps ---Paul.
