I fully rebalance on each alternative visit, ie first visit just a light buff and reseal the edges and 2nd visit I reapply resin as necessary and carry on as normal. HTH

that link is for the Fabric# rebalance, shouldn't differ too much to regular fibreglass apart from the different resins.
there are loads of tutorials on here, it'll keep you busy for ages reading through them.

when you say reseal edges do you mean with resin and do you just keep applying resin every visit.What i want to know is do you at any point put in more fabric.

Hi Kay, on the first maintenance appointment you should be able to lightly buff over the nails and re-seal the edges with resin, on the second maintenance appointment the structure of the enhancement will have grown down the nail so this is the appointment that you need to re balance the nail and re apply your silk/fibreglass strip.
