  1. Ok, so after talking to a few who mix up their own head cement here are a some home made recipes for anyone who is interested.

     

    Head Cement: 1. Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails mixed 50/50 with Acetone or other thinner

     

    2. Regular Lacquer thinned

     

    Flexament: Mix goop with toulene or MEK depending on what the ingredient is in the rubber adhesive. Give you the ability ability to control the viscosity.

     

     

    I wanted to research homemade options because I teach some new tyers and they are going through the cement and I like buying/tying in bulk.

     

    Give me a shout if you have a homemade recipe that works for you.

     

    thanks,

  2. Any good head cement or flexible cement recipes out there?

     

    Head Cement: I am looking for something that penetrates fast to secure the hand whip finish.

     

    Flexement: I have heard that you can thin ShooGoo with toulol/toluene and get a version of the commercially available flexible cements, but yet to try this method.

     

    Or should I just get off the wallet and stick with the commercial goods?

     

    cheers,
