It sounds to me and from something you said earlier in this thread, that you may not be letting the glue cure properly, between layers,
and then sitting the lace onto it..hairs shouldn`t be sticking to the lace or together...if they are, then something is ` going on`. If the hairs are clumping together a bit, this will lead to more visibility of the lace, as it gives the impression of an even ighter density than you actually have.
Digital cameras ` magnify` every last detail and things which look ok to the normal human eye, can tend to look very ` off` when viewed
on a pic taken with one. Yes, your density is [relatively] light there and I totally understand your anxieties, but most casual observers are
paying little if any attention to the top of your head..... certainly skin systems don`t ` suffer` from that grid pattern effect, but they can
have their own issues....I like the breatheability of lace..when I wore toppers, I only ever did a perimeter bond [still do with a Fullcap].....
I guess you`re wearing a relatively small system ? You could try a skin system and just use Got2b glued to hold it on..... a lot less hassle
than ` normal` glues, only that you need to de/re-bond more often and it will not withstand a lot of moisture [profuse sweating] in comparison
with ` proper` glue /tapes. It`s all part of the learning-curve --- [no pun intended] but stick with it and you`ll find what suits you best...good luck.
p.s. --this is what you said earlier `` still feels tacky in places`` -- it shouldn`t feel tacky at all....maybe the glue you`re using isn`t compatible
with your physiology...try another type and see how it ` behaves` .
