But before /thread, this brings up an interesting issue, maybe they should rename the tpe glue to something else, so no one actually thinks it is actual glue and melts a poor girlie's fingertip or eyelid off.. Plastic welder? Plastiweld for short (only 2 more letters than "tpe glue")

I have been using the clear eyelash adhesive sold in dollar tree. It works quite well and when comes time to change or re adjust lashes if they come loose, the stuff just peels off. And does not tear the TPE. Gives a couple minutes to align on her too. Crazy glue is a bit too quick a setup for lashes. If you do not get them quite right it's
But Crazy glue or equivalent works ok for nail attachment. I tried Testors model glue for nails. Does not work.

This kind of glue is basically a solvent as well - the idea is to apply to the part & partially dissolve or melt it & then the parts will bind together with what is basically a molten plastic slag. Stick to crazy glue/loc-tite etc.RGC_0767 wrote:Testors model glue for nails. Does not work.
That said - glue lashes BEFORE applying makeup along the eyelids. I badly damaged the eyes of my WM#162 by doing this the wrong way, & was forced to apply ALOT of glue to make it work. You can't see any of it thankfully, given how I did the cosmetics but I will not be able to remove the lashes at this point if anything goes wrong with them.

I did mess up putting one nail on. with super glue. It was WAY off I used some alcohol to remove it. Skin did get torn up some on fingertip. But to remove the gob of glue from nail mineral oil just lifted the glue right off the back of nail. Maybe glue had not completely hardened, but it did come off in one piece when I hit the mineral oil to it.FCD94 wrote:This kind of glue is basically a solvent as well - the idea is to apply to the part & partially dissolve or melt it & then the parts will bind together with what is basically a molten plastic slag.

Maybe that may help you if you need to remove them or eyelashes?
For damaged skin, I just rolled some heat over to smooth the torn skin.

Thank you! This is very helpful advice.Arthur1960 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 18, 2018 3:17 am Hi, whatever you do DO NOT use the tpe glue for finger nails and eye lashes! Its actually a solvent and will melt the tpe and should only be used in certain circumstances such as tears or holes in non stress areas. For eye lashes I just use the normal eye lash glue that a RG would use, just get a tiny amount on a cocktail stick and place it on the lash and then attach the lash and hold in place for 10 seconds. Don't put the glue straight onto eye lid as it's likely to drip onto the eye then it's a pain to get off. For finger nails you can just use tiny amounts of superglue, same thing, just drop a tiny amount onto the nail then hold onto the finger tip for a few seconds. Hope that helps.
