I agree with the other ladies. Most types of white glue requir a drying time so that the glue turns clear and becomes tacky enough to adhere the lace to your skin. Several ultra-thin layers are better than one or two thick layers. When I apply, I make sure my skin and lace are free of all glue, oil, products and perspiration. If there is any type of residue on your skin or the lace, you can forget about getting a good bond. Several swipes of 99% alcohol should do the trick. I usually sit in front of the fan for several minutes on high speed to make sure I don't perspire while the glue is drying. If you start to sweat before it dries, it starts to turn grayish and doesn't dry clear. This will ruin your app and you'll have to start all over again.
Good luck!
