Since the lace is not sticking, I would suggest applying the liquid adhesive of your choice (I use vapon No tape and super tape or blue liner tape) onto one side of the tape allow to dry for a few minutes until tacky and then apply that directly to the lace. Press firmly and allow to dry for a few minutes. This should help prevent the separation of the lace and the tape. Next remove the remaining tape backing and apply adhesive to the other side of the tape. Apply adhesive to your skin as normal and then apply your wig press firmly and youshould have an amazing hold.

Blueliner and Vapon are great together indeed!  I just haven't bought anymore Vapon.  Davlyn reminds me of vapon.
 
Well yesterday I redid mines and I am using Blueliner and ORWG and it is working great!  We will see!
 
Im just kinda upset because my ORWG used to be so good up front, but I am only lasting 3 days now.  I used to go almost 2 full weeks, no joke!
 
Maybe it's the oils on my skin, but I swear I alcohol down until my skin turns red.  I also wonder if it has something to do with my diet!
 
I am eating alot more now! Just seems that when I turned 40, I am hungry all the time.Confused

I get the tape to only stick to my nape. The lace never sticks. I tried all the diffenet tricks that I have read about and none of them work. Maybe it is not long enough....I have not cut the lace of my new baby.

when you are done applying your nape,make sure to use a scarf at nite to wrap your head and sleep,it will put pressure on the adhesive and the lace so that you get a stronger hold,thats what i do and i find it very helpful,

Funny you said that because I have French in the back and it is holding real good. I have Swiss in the front and the hold is ok, but I have a differnt adhesive that I used...
