Can anyone here that uses Extendabond (the blue mini tabs with the holes) comment whether there's a shine issue? Is something like Stop Shine necessary?

I have a rather short style (1.5-2") so it would be more noticeable for me.

Thanks.

I use those tabs and stick them on my scalp rather than onto the piece. Once on the scalp I rub a very tiny amount of ORWG over them and there is absolutely no shine. I wear my hair extremely short and the tape is invisible in all conditions.

when you put the ORWG on top of tape, when you remove does the glue stick to the tape completely or do you have to clean the lace as well. The only real advantage to tape for me is the easy clean up.

Most of the glue sticks to the tape. There is a residue on the lace like always with glue that needs to be cleaned off.

Yeah I don't even know if thats really worth it for me. I rather just use the Tape or ORWG by itself. Shine doesn't bother me for the base, but the hairline I think just smudging the crap out of it with your finger or using some powder would probably work.
