I find it much easier to get them straight when I'm using Polygel/Acrygel to adhere them instead of builder gel.

Linn Högberg and then just efile them off! Sound a lot easier. I didn’t realize I could get strong adhesion using poly gel and the gel together. I’m going to try this method today. Do I need to rough up the gel tips more so they adhere well to the polygel? I don’t want any coming off.
