Goodness! I'd like any tips (haha) on tipping this stuff. It doesnt come in a weft, comes loosely sewn (slides right off).

I wasted way too much of it. I got 38 tips out of 1/2 of the pack. I think I should be able to get around 50.

I am spreading a handful of hair out onto cardboard and waiting for it to get tacky then pulling it up.

Any more ideas?

I just tipped about 1/4 bag of monofiber with this "techinque" (I use the term loosely): http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28838 &PN=1

I found it a lot easier than tipping each individual strand, but you'll probably need to go back and reinforce them a bit. I think the greater advantage may be in less waste (of glue and hair).

:)

Rose, I know. And that little sewn in part slips a little here and there and then the hair is uneven. No suggestions here other than work slow and easy. Welcome to bulk. Ain't it grand?

I wrap a rubber band very tightly just under where the gold thread is they tied it with. Then I hang it and snip off what I need. Amm is right about that little string, its a pain in the butt.

Im using Gorilla Glue to tip with and it takes forever to dry. I have one of those wooden shoe racks that has 4 shelves on it. I put that on a TV tray, and it makes a great drying rack for the hair. I can get a bunch done at once and then just leave it to dry and cure.

It is quite staticky at the moment. I wonder if I should purchase some liquid fabric softener, put in a spray bottle with water as someone recommended. Give it a spray down prior to install?

I was thinking a clamp would be nice. Keep it all in one place!
