I dont`quite follow that.... was this a Toplace system ? If so, why did you not order your supplies [tapes/glues] beforehand? Every wearer needs supplies...what about knot-sealer....I assume that guy didn`t have that either.....you need to order supplies immediately. If he was just a guy obliging you with a cut-in, well I`m surprised he even had tape. The lace shouldn`t really be too noticeable if he taped it properly ..sounds like he didn`t tape right to the very edge [it can be tricky there anyway due to the curvature of the front hairline]....that`s probably why the lace is visible in places....glue ensures all of the lace will `sit down` properly... I suggest you order supplies and style your hair so it covers the problem area until they arrive... Paul.
