You use lace -release to free your system from your head.If you allow sufficient time [say 2 minutes or so] the lace will come free with little if any residue on it. When it`s off, put it to one side and set to work on your scalp......use glue melter on your head whatever way you like...once your head is sorted out, have a look at your lace. If there is any residue on it, just apply some glue-melter to the residue--no need to run amok and literally soak your lace in it..just apply it `locally`to any residue spots, wait for a minute or two, then use your micro fiber cloth, or some bubble-wrap or simply slide your lace on a glass surface like a large bathroom mirror and it will come free off the lace.
