How to Apply:
-
Prep the Skin: Clean and dry the application area. Remove oils with a suitable prep or astringent.
-
Apply Adhesive: Use a brush or sponge to apply a thin, even layer to the skin and/or the base of your piece.
-
Wait Until Tacky: Allow adhesive to become tacky — usually 30 to 60 seconds depending on climate.
-
Press & Secure: Gently press the lace or hair piece into place. Hold briefly for optimal adhesion.
-
Finish: Once dry, powder or blend as needed. Remove with appropriate adhesive remover.
Pro Tip: For extended wear or humid conditions, apply in light layers, allowing each to dry tacky before the next.
