If you’ve ever struggled with glue blobs drying too fast or not bonding properly, you’re not alone. Lash adhesive is sensitive to its environment and technique. A few simple adjustments can help you use every drop and improve retention.

**Use the right glue palette**  Experienced lash educators recommend placing adhesive drops on Parafilm rather than rings or jade stones. Parafilm creates a dome shape that keeps the drop wetter for longer, allowing you to use the entire drop. Our honeycomb glue cups offer a similar benefit. The multi‑well design reduces drying time and helps you control how much glue you pick up. Pair them with spare nozzles to prevent clogs and keep your adhesive bottle fresh between appointments.

**Test and monitor your environment**  Each adhesive formula has a different consistency and ideal working conditions. Humidity, temperature and even ammonia fumes from hair salons affect drying time. If your adhesive isn’t performing as expected, check the humidity and temperature of your workspace. Once you know which levels give the best results, aim to maintain them consistently. If you work near hair stylists, consider using an air purifier to reduce ambient ammonia. Keeping your environment stable ensures a predictable cure time.

**Switch adhesives as needed**  No single adhesive suits every situation. Some lash artists prefer thicker viscosities, while others like faster‑drying formulas. Depending on your schedule, you may switch between adhesives during the week. In our Lash Pro Essentials Set you’ll find FAST PRO Ultra Glue, a 0.5‑second adhesive that delivers a strong, long‑lasting hold when used in optimal conditions. Always shake the bottle thoroughly and replace the nozzle if it becomes clogged to maintain consistency.

By mastering your glue palette and room settings, you’ll reduce waste and achieve better retention. Dublin’s weather can be unpredictable, so investing in a hygrometer and controlling your treatment space will make your lash work more efficient.
