RE: Advise for sticking
I know English is not your first -language, but your post is slightly confusing, when you refer to `Solvent base glue` [solvents are liquids used to attack and break down glue residues on the scalp]....... Glue comes in 2 forms: ` White Glue` [water-based] and ` Acrylic Glue` which is synthetic. Both types ` behave` in much the same way in terms of requiring thin coats, when applying to the scalp, and sufficient time to cure, before application of the next coat and final coat....5 minutes is not enough, even on a cold day [glues cure faster in colder weather -conditions / cooler rooms ] Conversely, they take a lot longer in warm conditions. Glue/s should feel almost dry before applying the next coat and before you finally press the lace ` home` into it.
Did you give the lace a shampoo when you received it ? It`s possible there was factory-residue on it such as silicone/s which they spray on the hair before shipping, to give it plenty of shine.......silicones will interfere with any bonding material/s including tapes. Reubin has given some very sound advice there too...... keep any ` oily` type products off your lace for best results... I know some wearers soak their lace in all kinds of substances including Citrus-based solvents......such citrus solvents will discolour your lace over time with repeated exposure to it, and needs to be thoroughly washed out of the lace to prevent it interfering with the new bond....it`s best to keep to a regular ` routine` and don`t allow the underlying bond to deteriorate to the point where it turns into a gooey mess, as it will seep into the lace /hair and give you a huge task .... regular removal with lace -release ,while the bond is still ` good`, should result in little if any residue on the lace itself, and you can just concentrate your clean-up on the scalp...far easier and less time and effort required.
