Hey Gang!

I'm a fairly new wearer but I'm obsessed with it to say the least and went through my first unit fast (it became very thin, front hairline lace was clearly visible) because I messed with it too much I think (My second custom is due this week). I want to glue the hairline but I haven't aced the technique yet and always seem to have just enough lace (like less than 1/16'' or so) that doesn't glue well or stay glued well and curls up.

So. here are my two questions.

1. I'm using Ultra Hold by the way. My main concern with gluing the front hairline every 2-3 days is damaging or breaking the knots, thinning the hairline quickly, exposing the lace. Right now I just use alcohol to release the bond and then clean my forehead and re-attach. Is there anything I can do in this process to protect the frontal hair from being damaged or a better product to release the bond than alcohol? I also use knot sealer once a week.

2. And, besides just more practice, does anyone have tips on getting the front bond to stay down COMPLETELY for the entire 2-3 days?

Thanks for any help. I enjoy reading and learning here very much!
