| Okay from my understanding the lace will do this if it is handled a little rough. Also over time this will happen...Mine is going through this right now....I use small manicure scissors to clip back the long frays and I apply fray block....lightly to control this....it has helped but once again from my understanding of lace this is inevitable. |

Yup, the edges can start to fray and look like they're unraveling. Fray block will help. Also, cutting the edges with pinking shears when you originally cut the lace back will cut down on fraying. The fraying is worse when you cut the lace with a straight-edged scissor. |

Please make sur you use a little or else you will have white residue on the lace....make sure you use a little and rub it between your fingers to help get it warm...a little goes a long way. |

Hello,
I would like to know what kind of stuff Fray Block is:
- Does it stay on, or does it dissolve when washing or when using lace releasers or alcohol?
- Is there an alternative, like f.e. clear nail polish?
Thanks in advance,
Marianne

Probably not a good idea to have clear nail polish in long term contact with your face and neck because of the formaldehyde and other chemicals that can enter your system through your pores. This product works well and only needs to be applied once: http://www.mhrw.com/c_eztab.html - http://www.mhrw.com/c_eztab.html

Thanks Curlygirl, but that bottle is terribly expensive and shipping to Europe also.
I have got allergy-free nail polish without tolueen and formaldehyde.
Is Fray Block removable with nail polish remover? Then it would be (nearly) the same as nail polish, I think....

| Marihanna, there should be some similar product where you live. Frayblock is used by people who sew, to keep cut fabric from fraying. Do you know anyone who sews, because they will be familiar with such a product. You could also call a fabric/sewing center. |
