hi lads, thanks for comments and advice, in response

to clean in between placement - havent had to yet! but will use the products BA Supplied me, I think its Pure Adhesive Remover., i am not sure how well the protouch will be after about a week, it could be very messy, will try and follow the MAs mirror slide approach and see what else i need to pick off, i will allow about a full hour to clean so patience is a virtue!

in terms of the temples, ya know I have quite thin sides so in past with poly base i had to insert an extra little piece to cover my right side template (thanks for that one god, make me loose my top hair and thin my side hair just a little bit extra on one side. lol) but with the lace i just left a little bit extra hanging down on temples, not much mind, but enough that the hair settles down nicely, I looked at what mr burns had designed and cut the lacce perimeter in a similar why, but dont think i went down as far..

still need a bit of couvre to hide any potential gaps. so my biggest concern about lace is that the couvre over time will contaminate it,,, any tips there lads?

cheers
