I found using tape this way very easy- if the tape doesn't cause irritation or cause the hairline to be too thick. My experience is if your bond is 7 days or less, the adhesive on the lace side doesn't break down and get into the hair over time. To me, the advantage of G2BG(or any glue) is I get a more natural looking hairline throughout the full frontal hairline from temple to temple. In my experience, glue gives a better hairline look than tape. I've had trouble getting tape to stick to lace; that's why I applied tape to my head first. For me it is difficult to get tape to get that good transitional hairline. It does take skill. Glue does better. I like G2BG over other glues because it's so easy, quick, and gives good results without using solvents. Why not try tape, solvent glue, and G2BG and see which works best for you?
