Hello John southwest.... I`ve just got hold of 2 tubes of it after ordering on line from UK ...haven`t used it yet, but am sending in a new template today for a 3/4 sized all-lace system so, as my present system has a poly strip on it, I reckon the poly might not `take`to it so well though if it`s as sticky as people say, it certainly shouldn`t be too bad on the poly too ! I`ll try it today. I suggest what you could do for your front hairline [as your hair will be tied back etc] if you find the Got2B tends to lift/loosen at the front, you could just use normal glue just on the front bit there for a really strong hold and Got2B for the rest of it...so your clean up should be practically as simple as if you were using all Got2B....try it and see how it goes.
As for your template... yes I guess it can be a bit tricky to see/make one when your growing hair is `in the way`....all I can advise is that you have a fair idea of exactly what size your thinning area is.... just slick down and comb back your hair by misting with water....then place a large strip of[dry] cling-film neatly down on top, and tie it under the chin, so you only have that one layer sitting relatively tightly stretched over the skull..the dampness will prevent it slipping about on you....mark it with black marker as accurately as you can to trace the outline of the area needing coverage........ this needn`t be down to the nearest millimeter .....take your time, and once happy with the area you have marked, then begin strengthening your template with wide strips of sellotape cross-ways and then back-to-front. You can then add less-wide strips of tape ....have a look at the template-making tips on the `` info links for newbies` thread up top ...... don`t `sweat` too much over it....as long as your template more or less reflects the coverage area, and the contour of your head, it will be fine........ I assume your top remaining hair is not too thick anyway so it will not prevent you from making a fairly accurate shaped template....I`m not being flippant, but this really isn`t precision-science...as long as it`s reasonably to the size and shape of your head and balding area, it will be fine..... take your time and `relax`a bit with it all ...best wishes and hope it goes fine for you ... Paul.
