QuoteReplyTopic: Messed up!!! Posted: March 23 2008 at 2:18am
Ok ladies, I did my 1st application today and well all was good apart from them grids. The lovely ladies on this board gave me great advices on steri strip and 1st aid adhesives- well i took off the 1st applicaton and applied the 1st aid adhesives and that was great.
But the main problem is why do i still see lace in the perimeters. Is this normal?? No I didnt leave any lace out. I cut it real close to the hair line. Its so annoying seeing this lace right there just staring at you. The lace is light brown. L
Any help wil be soo appreciated

It might be as simple as YOU KNOW ITS THERE! I can see my lace on my hairline, because I know its there and what to look for. If you have someone you trust...family member, s/o... someone that already knows ya got a lf, have them take a look and see if they can see it. Don't tell them what they're looking for, just ask them to check you out.
It would also be helpful if you could post pics so we could see what you see.
I use tape but I think the same can work with glue. I leave a TINY bit of tape outside the lace at the edges.
Then I can use my finger tips in a circular motion so that some hairs on the edges get mashed into the lace - that way you don't ever see the little edge of lace on the edge of your unit.

Have you tried the fabric pen? Breh put a post up about it. It's made by fabric mate. It may be that the lace is perfect for your scalp but too light for your face. I use the pen around the hairline and my grids disappeared. What color is your skin?

Are you seeing the tiny edge of the lace that might not be adhered to your skin or are you seeing the lace even in the spots that are already adhered to your skin?
If it's that teeny tiny edge that might hang beyond the edge of your tape then just lift it up and apply a little fast drying adhesive (like Spirit Gum or Davlyn) to the skin underneath it. If you use Spirit Gum push the lace down into it immediately after applying but if you use Davlyn then wait 3-5 minutes then push the lace down into it with the back of a comb or other object.
If the lace is showing in areas that are already adhered to your skin I would try the suggestion that Griff made about using Breh's Fabric Mate pens.
