Thanks Paul, for the information and the welcome.
Though I am not exactly a newcomer. I have been here since the "days of old" before Toplace was sold. I've also met John before at a Toplace convention in Minnesota, and he couldn't have been a nicer or more helpful guy.
I just didn't go with wearing then because I decided I was doing a pretty good job with concealers and wasn't quite ready for "the change".
So I know all about the masterful cut-ins by Debbie, having seen her work twice at the conventions. Just wish I could travel to Maine to get this whole thing over and done with. I did try one of the remote cut ins for one of the Toplace pieces I bought, but I never followed through with wearing that one either because while it was a style I really liked, I decided it would be better to have a look which looked more like my concealer hair initially, to make the transition smoother.
I do have one old custom Toplace piece that I have been experimenting on, but I don't know if I have messed that one up too much to consider wearing it out.

But yeah, the fullcap idea is just a sign of desperation on my part since I can't seem to find a full service hair replacement shop(or at least attach and cut in) around here that doesn't charge an exorbitant amount of money. But a fullcap would be a pretty pricey thing to use just as an experimental tool, which is what I would be using it for right now.

Anyway, it looks like I will be having to go the DIY route before I actually want to and just find a place that will cut it in for me and blend it with my hair.

Once again, thanks for the reply, and have a great vacation, Paul!
