Is tape really 'more rough' on UTS than glue/bond?

[jeepwrangler]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of asking my stylist next week to switch me to a tape/bond hybrid -- bond in the front, tape in the back. I think this would be easier for cleanup around the 2 week mark.

She's said a few times to me that tape shortens the life span of the base as it's more prone to ripping.

What you y'all think?

Yes, I agree

I disagree. Pulling tape off lace haphazardly will stretch it......with poly, will tear it. Just be careful.... I'm over 3 years with .03 poly .... all tape except hairline... no issues...

Thanks guys, I'll experiment with an older system and see how it goes.

Keep in mind an old base will be more prone to
tearing.

She's wrong. UTS will tear under any stress. Just spray a lot of alcohol/lace release during removal & don't rush it.

UTS is delicate as it is. You should only really be getting just over a month out of it and tape is fine (provided it's applied and removed correctly).
