Take some old pantyhose material and apply resin(cyanoacrylate) activate to one small piece now try any old gel to another patch and see which and what results you may prefer...
I'm not sure that this idea will actually
prove anything as we are
not using panty hose (nylon) when we wrap nails using fibregalss.
All resins give off heat when activated ... panty hose being nylon may melt!!!
Fibreglass (man Made fibre) as opposed to say silk or cotton (natural) keeps its integrity within the enhancement by staying separate from the resin. i.e. it never soaks up the resin, just becomes embedded in it. Natural fibres however,
do soak up the resin and in so doing, sort of become the resin ... making them not quite as strong an option as fibreglass. However silk wraps are still strong and durable and ladies do love the idea of their nails being wrapped in silk. sounds a bit more glamorous than fibreglass!!
