Mr.NewYork Wrote:Fred - what glue are you using? Is it lift week for a week & can I sweat extensively, work out, swim, with no issue? Also, what's clean up like? I've got a full perimeter attachement with Walker No-shine that clean's up & dettaches in about 8 minutes total time.
I HATED the slide, soak, Orange stuff, Dawn dish soap, dry & mirror slide again I needed to do with my one time glue attachement

Holy poop Batman what kind of glue were you using ???

I use Basebond on the front and, currently, NRT around the sides and back and I easily get a weeks hold from that. I doubt very much that that Basebond would work for swimming. I work out and work in the yard a lot and sweat like a stuck pig. My setup works fine for me. Everything is normally still holding strong at the end of the week. If anything the Basebond will lift a little if I really, really sweat a lot but as soon as it's dried out it's fine again.
Cleanup is a snap. I release with 99% alcohol. Basebond and tape stays on my scalp. Sometimes a touch of Basebond remains on the lace however it mirror slids right off in a snap if I do it while the lace is still wet with alcohol. The NRT never leaves any residue anywhere.
For what it's worth, I tried the ST30 tape a while back when it was first offered and was the rage, and simply didn't see an advantage to it for me. It didn't hold any stronger than the NRT for the week that I wear at a time. How can it when the NRT never ever lifts or anything. I tried the ST30 on the front a few times and, as already mentioned, when it gets wet, like in the shower, it swells and shows. The ST30 tape actually left a little tiny bit of residue on my scalp sometimes, compared to the NRT that never has. The ST30 tape is more expensive than the NRT, so I went back to NRT. I still have a roll or two of the ST30 around here.
