I just spray 91% alk on the hair where the tape is and on the hairline which I glue, wait a couple of minutes and gently peel from the hairline back. Tape stays on my scalp, and very minimal glue on the lace. Quick magazine slide sorts the glue. I imagine nothing different then anyone else. What kind of glue and tape are you using? I use stick it tape and white glue. Release and clean up is a snap.
