RE: Re: Ask a question.
Hi ..you`re better off to post in a new thread on the main body of the forum ...this area here [up top] consists of older threads and information which aren`t read as frequently as the ` main` forum below.
You can get ORWG on Amazon UK ..just type it into the search bar .. just had a look and they have 8 bottles in stock.
Your questions have been covered many many times [not being unpleasant ---and I know how trawling through a large forum for a specific answer can be time-consuming].
Essentially, it`s not possible to give you a definitive answer relating to what will work best for you ....we all have different experiences with various bonding-on products...some guys get 3 weeks from Walker no-shine tape ... I get 3 days max.!! You`d be best to have a look at the HD site and order from their European hub ..they carry a huge range of products...they give details on possible hold ` times` from the various ones ...so it`s a matter of deciding on what you`d like to try out ......I`d advise you to buy a selection of small rolls of tape at the start ..you`ll find out which one/s work best for you and then you can order the bigger [more economical] rolls later .... same with glue/s ----it can be expensive at the start, getting in a stock of various things,especially as the manufacturers often only make large tubs of glue...if they had sample-sizes it would be just SO great ..one thing you`ll never ever have enough of is lace-release... I buy the large [litre] bottles...it never goes to waste.....you`ll be using it a lot when un-doing your bond.It`s an alcohol..... that simply breaks the bond...you then need a glue-melter [alcohol] and a citrus-based solvent such as `C-22` or De-solv-it, to tackle any residues on the scalp and/or base-material.... HD sell all those things....
there are many tutorial videos on HD and on Youtube relating to most aspects of bonding, debonding and applying glue/tape/s ..... in relation to your enquiry about a 3-week hold and no residue ...well, the reality is the longer you leave a thing [bond] in place, the more inclined it will be to eventually turn into a gooey ` mess` resulting in a headache of a clean-up.......I also am not in favour of leaving glue/tape stuck onto your scalp [blocking your pores] for such a long time ...it can and often does, lead on to health-issues....the last thing you want or need is some medical condition on your head..best stay with a regular [weekly] routine..it`ll save a lot of bother in the long run....... I know some guys may disagree, but most of us, especially in hot weather, will run into issues by leaving bonds in place for too long.
Hope that helps..... just post in the main forum there for a better chance of a reply..it`s only by chance I actually saw your post !!
