Hey guys,

(sorry, that the following text is rather long, but I didn't want to leave out what I tried so far)

I'm really in trouble and totally frustrated with bonding:
I've been wearing toupets and wigs for about 10 years (7 years of toupet, then due to very thin sides and back, full cap for 3 years now). The hardest part has always been (and still is) the fight with glue or tape including residue from braking down and becoming gooey.

I've tried like about 12 different liquid adhesives over the years and like 20+ kinds of tape. My problem is that my skin seems to be very, very, very oily. And any oil seems to be arch-enemy of any kind of glue, I guess.

What I want to achieve is a proper and clean hold for at least 7+ days in a row, that is I want to shower, work out and sleep with it.

While all other users who recommended the following products say they get like 21+ days with the glue/tape staying secure and clean, mine always starts breaking down after 4 or 3 (or sometimes even 2) days!! If I try to go for day #5, it becomes a PITA, leading to all the gooeyness of the TAPE(!) running through the lace into the wig hair - no chance of removing it there with ANY professional glue remover

So, I've recently come along different versions of the Ghost Bond product series => all of them resulted in loosing grip and becoming gooey and messy after first shower (36 hours after applying it).

Same with ALL (20+) kinds of tapes so far. There is one of them called "Walker No Shine", which gives me 5 days in a row, but it's not soft enough, buckles wherever my head has curvature and starts itching after 4 days.

Then I found, in a package of tape samples, which I ordered years ago, a contoured shape with a printing on the back "Walker Lace Front Support Tape". That tape was the one and only that ever worked for me (past tense). It was soft and purely invisible, and came off in one piece even after 7 days. The bad thing is, when I ran out of it and ordered it again, the product seems to have changed: Though the Walker company claims, it's still the very same product, I cannot believe this: It breaks down and becomes gooey within 48 hours! And when removing it after 48 hours, it tears apart. I've tried to let it sit for 5 days, ending up with my hairpiece ready for the trash because the "tape" had become liquid so it was EVERYWHERE in the hair. Pure nightmare!!! (Cannot be a bad storing issue, because after ordering from 4 current suppliers I always end up with the same mess).

So, if it's not the Walker LFST either, which will be the way to go?

I've read (good and bad) about "Oil Resistant White Glue"... today I've come along a video of so-called "BoldHold extreme creme"... actually my trust in liquid adhesives has become very low (I wear all-lace, so the leeking through the lace is always to keep in mind).

I want to glue/tape the wig down around the perimeter, like the woman in the following video (that's where I came along the BoldHold glue)

Especially when it comes to the nape (where I tried, among others, Walker No Shine and Lace Front Support Tape), I ALWAYS(!!) get itching and loosening issues, even on day no. 2 ... how can other people get their wig bonded like 2-3 weeks?! I need that too.

Does anyone know about that glue that she uses? Is it magic? Will it be okay even after 7 days of working out, showering and sleeping?

Please help if you have any ideas!

I am willing to invest 1 or even 2 hours in a good attachement if it lasts for 7-14 days! (with no itching, no gooeyness all over the wig hair, no coming loose). I cannot do 1 or 2 hours of attachment and removal and cleaning on a daily routine not to mention the loads of tape used by that with a full cap.
