Tacky glue to the rescue!

So I tired two things last night on a old wig, one was with teasing and hair spray which didn't look too good but stayed up overnight. The other spike was made with a mixture of Tacky glue and water. It worked amazingly! Not only did it stay up but its hard. It worked really well. So I think for Abel's wig (The reference picture is posted below.) will be coated in this mix of Tacky Glue and water then hung upside down. Hopefully this works. The wig won't be able to be washed afterwards but I wasn't excepted it to be. It wont be worn for very long anyway. Mainly for contests and photoshoots. Otherwise he'll be wearing his normal silver wig.

                                                   Think of all the detangler he has to use.

I'm happy I finally figured something out. I just need to finish sewing the welts in and buying a new bottle of Tacky glue. I'm pretty eager to get this wig done as I fear it may be a pain in our butts later. The earlier I get it done the better. This way we can fix the issues and make it ideal. Of course my main concern is making it comfortable and for it able to stay standing up even if walking. Since our hotel will be a few streets away from the convention center where Sakura-con is held. It has to stay up without breaking or tipping. So since we have lots of time we'll practice, make sure its at its best and everything stays up.


But I'm taking the night off from sewing in those welts. I've been very tired today. And damn, it has been stormy. Lots of people don't have power. So I'm glad I still have it. Although the lights are flickering a lot and who knows if it will go out tonight. I heard down at the coast there were reported winds of 59! Its pretty crazy out there. So I'm taking it easy, watching some shows that are starting up for their new season and maybe play some more Animal Crossing.
