Anybody else try the "Temporary Skin" method on lace?
Unfortunately, I have some issues with my skin, and it prevents me from wearing my full cap beyond 4 days or so at a time. Besides that, I can't get much more than that due to adhesive breakdown.
I kind of stumbled on something that helps alleviate my skin problems and makes wearing quite a bit easier and more comfortable for me.
What I started doing is attaching tape directly to the perimeter of the lace, using the Walker No-Shine for the hairline and temples, and blue liner, ST-30, Supertape, Pro-Flex. No-Res.....basically anything that sticks well to lace. Then at night I gently peel the entire piece off my head and do a quick clean and disinfect with some alcohol and a microfiber towel (including the tape).
The next morning I simply put one thin coat of white glue on the tape and stick it right back on.
It's as strong or stronger than day one, and I can get away with doing this for several days at a time before I actually remove the tape and start over.
If I need to leave the piece on overnight....no prob, but I have the option of taking it off to clean my scalp and let the unit rest overnight to avoid unnecessary wear and tear. Win/win.
One last benefit- the cleanup couldn't be easier. simply soak the tape in some alkie and I'm done.
