ROOM CONDITIONS
Summer. It’s the time of year we start to look forward to the moment it ends -
the lighter evenings, the warmth of the sun on our skin, barbecues… There are
some drawbacks to the rising temperatures, and the subsequent rise in
humidity we often experience - the main one being that our glue suddenly
forgets how to behave!
Your room conditions are one of the biggest factors that can affect your glue -
fluctuations in temperature and humidity can be the difference between a
great set, and the set that makes you never want to look at a single eyelash
ever again (we all have them - hang in there).
Temperature is arguably the more noticeable factor here - in other words,
we’re more likely to notice if the temperature changes by two degrees than if
the humidity changes by 5%. What is our natural reaction when the
temperature increases? Cool it down. Cooling your space down is all so well
and good, but it often has a knock-on effect on the humidity levels in your
room - opening a window to let in a breeze is likely to increase humidity and
speed your glue up, while putting on the air-conditioning will suck the moisture
out of the air, and make your glue slow down. Similarly, in the winter, putting
your radiator on will dry out the air.

To keep track of your temperature and humidity level, make sure you add a
hygrometer to your collection, if you don’t have one already!
DISPENSING
As a rule, you're going to want to refresh your glue dot every 20 minutes or so
during the treatment. Each time, you need to give your glue a good shake to
make sure all the ingredients are properly mixed.
