Which lash adhesive dries the fastest?

Our quickest-drying adhesives include Power Bond, Royal Bond, and Swift Bond, all designed to cure within 0.5–1 second when used in the correct conditions.

• Power Bond performs best at 64–72°F (18–22°C) and 50–65% humidity
• Royal Bond works well at 64–72°F and 30–80% humidity
• Swift Bond is ideal at 64–72°F and 40–85% humidity

Keep in mind: higher humidity speeds up curing time, while lower humidity slows it down.

These adhesives are extremely fast and are best suited for advanced lash artists. Using a glue that cures too quickly for your speed can negatively impact retention.

How do I choose the right lash glue?

The best eyelash extension adhesive for you depends on your experience level, room conditions, and working speed.

Beginner or intermediate artists: opt for slower adhesives like Lady Bond or Satin Bond for better control

Advanced artists: faster adhesives may help you increase efficiency

To choose accurately, you’ll need to know:

• Your room temperature
• Your room humidity
• How quickly you place the extension after dipping into adhesive

Using a hygrometer is highly recommended to monitor your environment and maintain consistency.

Which lash glue is best for sensitive clients?

All professional lash adhesives contain cyanoacrylate, the ingredient responsible for bonding. Most allergic reactions are triggered by adhesive fumes, not the liquid itself.

If a client has previously had an allergic reaction, it’s very likely they will react again. In these cases, lash extensions are not recommended.

For clients who experience mild sensitivity (not a true allergy), you can:

• Use Superbonder at the end of the treatment to reduce fumes
• Improve airflow with tools like an extraction fan to minimize exposure

• Always follow proper consultation procedures and avoid working on clients with contraindications.

   

Why is my lash glue drying too slowly?

Slow curing is usually caused by low humidity or incorrect room temperature.

To speed up your adhesive:

Increase humidity levels in your workspace

Adjust room temperature within your glue’s recommended range

Use Booster on the lash strip to accelerate curing

Helpful ways to increase humidity:

• Use a humidifier
• Place a damp towel near a heat source
• Lightly hydrate lashes during prep
• Work in sections to maintain moisture

If your speed has improved over time, your adhesive may simply be too slow for your current skill level - switching to a faster glue could improve your results.

Why has my lash glue become thick or stringy?

Adhesive consistency changes are usually caused by exposure to air, moisture, or improper storage.

To prevent this:

• Store glue in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight
• Avoid pushing dried adhesive back into the bottle
• Replace glue every 4–8 weeks after opening
• Always close the cap immediately after use
• Never clean the nozzle with nozzle wipes

• Proper care will help maintain optimal performance and retention.

Why are my volume fans closing?

If your fans close after dipping, your adhesive is likely too slow for your working speed.

To fix this:

Increase humidity and/or temperature

Use Booster on the lash strip (not on natural lashes)

Check that you’re not picking up too much adhesive. Balanced conditions and correct glue amount are key to maintaining open, symmetrical fans.

How do I clean my glue nozzle properly?

After every use:

Wipe the nozzle with a lint-free glue wipe

Store the bottle upright

Gently squeeze out any residue before closing

When shaking manually:

Remove the cap

Cover the nozzle with a wipe to prevent clogging

Important: Never use cotton pads, tissues, or fibrous materials. These can react with cyanoacrylate and cause heat buildup or safety risks.

What is the shelf life of lash adhesive?

Unopened: Up to 6 months from production date

Opened: Best used within 4 weeks (maximum 8 weeks)

For sample sizes (2ml), use within 5 days of opening.

Pro tip: label your bottle with the opening date to track freshness.

What should I do if my glue nozzle is blocked?

If your nozzle becomes clogged:

Replace it with a spare nozzle

Use a Glue Rescue Kit if the cap is stuck

A nozzle opener tool can make replacement easier

To avoid blockages:

Clean the nozzle after every use

Store glue correctly

Avoid squeezing the bottle when dispensing

Why is there white residue on my glue bottle?

White residue is caused by shock polymerization, which happens when adhesive reacts with moisture.

To prevent this, store glue in an airtight container, keep it away from humidity and direct sunlight and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use

Why does my glue look clear instead of black?

Adhesives must be shaken thoroughly before use. Shake for 1–2 minutes (or use a glue shaker), this ensures all ingredients are properly mixed

Only Crystal Bond is designed to be clear. All other adhesives should appear fully black when ready to use.

How should I store lash glue correctly?

Before opening: Keep sealed in original packaging. Can be stored in the refrigerator to extend shelf life

After opening: Store at room temperature. Use an airtight container and keep away from heat, sunlight, and humidity.

Always store upright. Proper storage is essential for maintaining adhesive performance.

How do I remove lash adhesive safely?

Eyelash extensions should always be removed by a trained professional. Never pull or force extensions off, as this can damage natural lashes.

For safe removal: Use a professional remover such as Cream Remover or Gel Remover. Work in small sections and ensure eyes are properly protected.

Following correct removal techniques ensures a safe and comfortable experience for your client.
