How long Do you gurls think this product would last if I sandwiched the wefts? I would think alot longer than 3 weeks, mabe more like 4 to 6 weeks?

I dunno, never used the tape.  And I have never had glue last longer then 3 weeks, even with the sandwich method with liquid gold I have 2 wefts in the back with some major slippage, and its only been a little over a week.

That's called red liner tape and it's a tape that's commonly used  to apply hair pieces.  I don't know if you'd get 2-3 weeks out of it though.

There is another hair piece tape, called Pro-Flex 2, and you could get 4-6 weeks out of it.  Charlene put a seamless weft on me with the pro-flex tape, and it's been about 5 weeks now and it's hold strong.  The corners have lifted a tiny little bit, but no big deal.  She used the sandwich method.

I buy Pro-Flex 2 tape from my hair piece supplier, so I'm not sure where unlicensed people can buy this.  Do a  google search for 'pro flex 2 tape' and you'll probably come up with something.

I just looked the the dr. lock's page, and they tell you that you can apply this tape onto a regular weft.  I'm not sure how well it would hold, as this tape is meant to be applied to polyurethane. (like seamless wefts)   If you stick it onto a regular weft top, it will not be water tight, therefore I don't see it holding for more than a few shampoos.

I had a sample of this from American Dream and I tried it with a regular weft and it seemed really really strong holding to me x

Temperature and solvent resistant? Is this too scary to try?

nope, I bet $100 that your orange oil wiould take it right out, I just dont like that its a white foam as opposed to a clear strip.
