Donnab63, thanks for the scarf tricks, saving it in my lf files for reference purposes later. Wink As for the summer adhesives, right now my goal is to get my nape to last as long as the front.  Just now, I found a roll of proflex tape i had cut three strips applied them at my nape and on the sides, added some davlyn and now I have my scarf secured tightly, said a prayer and now we'll see what happens in the morning.  I'm determined to get a high ponytail going.  With the combos I've tried in the past, they never last past a day.  I'm about to order some redliner tape and no tape and see how that goes. I AM DETERMINED TO GET MY LF ON THIS SUMMER Angry

stay with it, girlnextdoor. You'll find the right combination that works for you. Smile I realize that I can't stay with 1 product and hope it works during all seasons. 

I'm actually getting encouraging results from Proflex No Shine and No Tape. I putting it through the heat test while I'm at work. I have a desk heater pointed at me and so far, so good Wink.

Shiny as a mirror in sunlight.... That's why I switched to Proflex No Shine in the front.

Weave4dayz365, I'm so very ready for Summerfest, Taste of Chicago, Milwaukee State Fair, Six Flag's Hurricane Harbor... all those activities that could prove fatal to a bad application! So, I'm hoping to get this adhesive concern of mine resolved before Memorial Day! Wink

BTW, I re-applied my unit last night with Proflex (No Shine)+No Tape. Wow, what a hold! AND it looks unbelievable believable at the hairline, unlike most tapes. Now the only test is to see if the tape can go the distance without turning white or gummy.

[QUOTE=Chic-Geek]I've said it once, I'll say it again... EB is for making furniture (IMO). Nemesiz, I'm looking forward to a good summer with the SuperTape+Davlyn combo. I've recently started using the two and I love the hold! I can't wait to see how it performs in the Chicago heat.  [/QUO

LMAO Chic is right that EB ain't no joke!! but the Davlyn and tape combo is da truth!!!  pssst Chic!  you ready for the SummerFest!!ClapClapClapBig%20smileBig%20smileBig%20smile

I know that's right Sexi, I live in the midwest and the last past summers were not very hot, but I'm fortunate because the tapes are doing well for me. when I feel myself sweating I just press firmly on my hairline and the tapes usually reattache .  But in the summer months I reattach and reapply about every week whereas in the winter months I can go for 3-4 weeks.

this is my current combo and it holds awesome (winter months so far)....I live in southern california and it was 80 degrees yesterday.  I started to feel my bond loosening a bit and I was like "dang this is what the ladies have been talking about"......I'll keep experimenting. :)

Well i put proflex along my hairline on my skin and then EB i use to adhere the edges of the lace to my skin on the nape i actually put the blue liner tape on my skin and then EB all on top of the tape and then the lace..yes i use pure acetone i get it from my local bss. All i do is get a cotton ball and litterally summerge the acetone in it and take the cotton ball and squeeze so that acetone runs down along my hair line...w/in second the lace lifts right off..i've never had a problem removing my wig when i use EB...
