Hi Paul,
can you explain what do you mean by this sentence:
"For your own first time bond, just apply some strips of tape on the sides/back on the lace, and carefully peel back a corner of the backing-tape and crease/`crunch` it on each separate strip"
I attached tape to the unit as shown in the following photo.
But I could not get the tape exactly to the edge of the unit. Is this ok?
It was hard cutting it, the tape could stick to my scissors, then I had to use Lace removal on my scissors to get the tape off, haha.
Anyways, this can be a detection problem can it be not?
If I run my fingers through my hair after attachment then I will feel this swiss lace ( running finger from down to upwards movement ).
So then if I used glue for the next attachment, is it better for undetectability compared to tape?
Regards
Japan

I have posted a thread there `` Newly-delivered system -not styled [Photos] `` the first picture clearly shows the excess/ `spare`lace which must be trimmed off before you wear. I just had my system styled an hour ago and will be posting a few pics shortly, including one of the section of trimmed-off lace..... You need Knot-sealer to apply [VERY sparingly] to the underside of your system to seal /`lock`the hair-knots and prevent them becoming un-done and the hairs shedding . The lace is not white -it`s the colour as you have it now..I think I advised you to get knot sealer before ? It`s not urgent as such, but you do need to apply it sooner rather than later. I would remove the system ..spray lace-release onto the taped area --through the hair, allow it to `work`for about 2 minutes and your system will lift off....you can then use some on your scalp to loosen the tape from the skin...I assume you also got ``Pure`` glue remover from Debbie? Use that on the scalp too, it will help loosen the tape from the skin. As you will be applying glue at the front when you are re -bonding, you will need that product to deal with removing glue residue from your head at your next de-bond. I`d use tape on the sides and back and glue at the front....apply glue in very thin layers and allow to go clear [ instructions on the bottle] before applying the next layer.....do NOT push lace down onto a heavy layer of still-wet glue otherwise it will go through the lace onto the hair and you`re going to have one hell of a job to get it out of / off the hair ... less is best with ALL glues...apply evenly and sparingly in thin layers, allow to `cure` [using a hair -dryer on it will speed the process], then and only then should you push the lace down onto it. Take things SLOWLY for your first time de-bonding ..especially as that tape is only recently applied and will be giving maximum hold, so allow time for the lace-release to penetrate it..... For your own first time bond, just apply some strips of tape on the sides/back on the lace, and carefully peel back a corner of the backing-tape and crease/`crunch` it on each separate strip....position your system correctly [take your time] and once you`re satisfied, carefully fold up the back, peel off the backing tape, and press system to the skin... do the same at one side, taking care not to `skew`the system out of place on your head, peel off the backing strip there, apply, and do the same at the other side. Then [ for your first time] maybe mark your scalp with a pencil or [better] an eyebrow pencil just at the point where the system perimeter will be sitting at the front... fold the front back up off your head and keep it there out of the way [ you could clip it back onto the hair behind it with a clothes peg or even a large rubber band hooked under your chin]..then carefully apply your glue at/behind the lines/marks as I explained......then fold your system down onto it and you should be fine..Paul.
