I have a few skin units and I just feel like there is a misconception about them. You hear time and again how much easier it is to work with and the clean up etc, but I find that to be a statement without any merit. I have asked people over and over why a skin is easier and they never really answer.. The only time to me when a skin system is easier to deal with is if you are using something like GOT2b glued for a head bond.

With lace you can use a host of all kinds of tapes etc, many of which are no or low residue. I find that half the strong tapes and glues you can't use on the thin skins. Even the no residue tapes can form a sticky hard to remove residue on certain thin skins. And the strong tapes like blue liner, forget about those. youll never get it off. On top of that if you don't do an entire head bond with skin it feels weird and hot and makes noises to the touch. So the only benefits I get when using skin is to attach the base with got2b glued and the very front hairline with a cream glue like oil resistant white glue.. In areas where u sweat, the skin has a harder time holding up for me than lace.. the oils and sweat break down glues at the hairline quicker than with lace for me personally.

Overall the only pros as far as ease of use with skin for me are got2b and cleaning up cream glues without having to worry about bleed through the lace. Its also cool not having to worry about the actual hairs popping out through the bottom since it is closed off by the skin.. but overall attachment and removal with stronger adhesives seem easier to me with lace.
