Have you actually tried the EzFlow Monomer with the EzFlow polymer?
I am quite sure you would get better results and without any tweaking.

As people have already said polymers are produced by companies to work best with their monomer, so it makes sense to use the best polymer for that monomer.
Also you would have more come back with the product Company if you did have service breakdown.
Sometimes there can be faulty batches with products, and the companies are only too happy to sort that out for you, but if you have been using it with another product line, how can they tell what the problem is, therefore you would be left high & dry.

There are generic products that are mass-manufactured and re-labelled by individual companies but the top companies do all their own research, development and manufacturing. CND do all this and their products are patented.....

Trouble is you don't know which generic products come from the same source so how do you know which ones are ok to mix?? Answer: you don't.

Leave chemistry to the chemists, recommendations aren't there just to be inconvenient or to cost you more money they are there to protect you and your clients. If you over-expose yourself you may not be able to carry on as a Nail Tech - not worth the short cut IMO.

It's quite amazing that some people believe they are suddenly experts! Yes, of course a monomer liquid and polymer powder form a 'system'! But......how many other ingredients and percentages of those ingredients are designed to work together to create a carefully formulated 'system'?

Shock horror! We are being 'had over' by product companies! I don't think so, on the whole.

"Stand up in court"??? Who is expert enough to guarantee the performance of mixed systems? Insurance companies will not pay out unless they have to. Every acceptable recommendation that will be scrutinized by said insurance companies states very clearly that manufacturers instructions must be followed. Will the client know what is used? Probably not. That is unless they are determined to win! Then, whoops, all is revealed on an open forum!

Why do people love to 'get one over' and not just follow follow professional guidelines. Are these people just doing what they believe product companies are doing to them?

Stroppy start to any post of mine in '08? Yes, probably. This is a subject that has been around forever and is, frankly, boring! Just be a 'professional'!

way-to-go Marian!!
