Here's a tip for anyone using liquid adhesive to attach the front lace. I find that the applicator brush in the bottle of the HD adhesives is too soft to spread a thin even coat like we're supposed to. The glue tends to glob up and go on too heavy and uneven. To correct this, I use a flat artist's brush and it works great! You don't need to buy expensive sable brushes. The cheap synthetic ones will actually work better. You can find them at craft stores for a few bucks. Be sure to get the flat ones, not the round ones that come to a point. Don't get ones with black hairs because I think they're the same as the one in the bottle. The brush I use is about a half inch wide and the synthetic hair is a golden color. I think I've seen them in white also. I clean them with alcohol and when they wear out, I just toss 'em. Hope this helps.

I have not seen too much about application brushes on here. I personally use disposable brushes purchased at a hardware store. I believe they are used by pipefitters. I think they sell a box of 100 for about $5. They are silver metal brushes and are very cheap. They work great, I got the idea to use them from the hair replacement place that I use to go to. Does anyone know what I am talking about??

Yeah, there's probably a lot of brushes out there that can do a better job than the one in the bottle. You need something firmer with a little spring to it.
I've been using soldering flux brushes (one of their many uses) for a long time and I not only like how the brush spreads the adhesive, but I also like the length of the handle. The extra few inches makes it easier to control and so much easier to apply the adhesive than holding the top of a bottle with a brush attached. It works especially good for the Ultra Hold because the adhesive is a little thicker and the bristles are a bit more firm. I'm sure you can clean them up, but they are cheap enough where I just dispose of them after each use.
A guy I met at a local hair salon says he uses a make up sponge to spread adhesive and claims that it works great. I never tried that, however.
For the first time in my life, I'm not alone in this...
Wow! Look at all the things that can spread the glue better than the brush that comes in the bottle. If a wooden stick is an improvement, maybe they should give some thought to improving the bottle brush.
