When working with a thinner adhesive, the key is control — both in pickup and placement — so you’re not drowning the lash in glue or struggling with retention.
Tips for working with a thinner adhesive:
Dip lighter & quicker – Don’t sink the fan too deep; a small, controlled bead is all you need.
Slow your placement slightly – Thin glues run faster, so place with precision before it travels up the lash.
Work in cooler, slightly drier conditions – High heat/humidity can make thin adhesives runny and hard to control.
Anchor your wrist – Steadier hands help prevent glue drips when moving from the glue dot to the natural lash.
If you’re working with a thinner adhesive in higher humidity, you’ve basically put it on fast-forward — it’ll cure lightning-quick, sometimes before it’s even fully bonded.
Here’s how to handle it:
Work faster – The glue’s open time is shorter, so get it on the lash before it flashes.
Micro-dip even more – A small bead slows premature curing and keeps bonds clean.
Lower your room temp if possible – Cooler temps help slow the reaction.
Skip the extra fiddling – Adjusting after placement can cause poor attachment if the glue’s already setting.
