I had searched the forum before I tried & found out that, even though the spiking glue looks like a white glue, you don't follow the same application. First, you put on a thicker coat than you would a glue. Second, it needs to be wetter when you press in the lace than you would for a glue - the "dry-with-lace-attached-in-it" aspect is crucial.
