BLACK BOND ADHESIVE 5 ML

Shake each adhesive well before use - first use in a day and up to a minute. The average time of use of one drop is 15-20 minutes. Place the drop on white or silver stickers, jade stone, microfoam or micropore, but depending on the substrate and the speed of the drop's duration will vary. We definitely recommend doing a patch test at least 48 hours before the first application.

For professional use only. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep the product tightly closed when not in use to prevent air entry. Shake before use. In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse with water and seek medical advice. Vapors may cause headaches, nausea, and irritation of the nose, throat, and lungs. If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately.

Q: How does Black Bond (0.5 sec) really compare to Hollywood (1-3 sec) and Tokyo Speed — is faster always better?

A: Not necessarily. Black Bond, with a drying time of 0.5 seconds, is intended for very fast, high-temped work, while Hollywood (1–3 seconds) leaves a little more time to adjust the extension before it is attached. Faster glue requires extremely precise, practiced technique because there is almost no room for position correction after contact — so we recommend it for more experienced technicians rather than as the first choice for those who are just building up speed.

Q: What does a viscosity of 2/10 mean in practice and why is this density balance important?

A: A viscosity rating of 2/10 means that the adhesive is thick enough not to drip or leak during operation, but liquid enough to allow for thin, neat application to the extension base. This balance is important because glue that is too thick makes it difficult to dip precisely and can create larger, heavier beads of glue, while glue that is too thin leaks and increases the risk of touching the skin or adjacent lashes.

Q: Why does premade fans require about 50% more glue than classic or handmade installation?

A: Premade fans have a wider, already shaped base compared to a single fiber in a classic or handmade installation volume, so more glue is needed to wet that base evenly — according to the manufacturer, about 50% more than with classic or handmade installations. This is important to consider when planning adhesive consumption per installation when working with premade fans.

Q: Is Black Bond suitable for a technician who is just building speed, or just for the more experienced?

A: Black Bond is primarily intended for more experienced technicians who already have a well-established, precise technique, as the extremely fast drying (0.5 seconds) leaves very little time to correct the position of the extension. For technicians who are just building speed, we recommend starting with a slower-drying glue like Hollywood and switching to Black Bond when the technique becomes stable.

Q: Does shorter drying mean a shorter window for adjusting the extension — do you need to adjust the working technique?

A: Yes — shorter drying time means a shorter window for adjusting the extension after contact with the natural lash. The technique should be adjusted: the extension should be positioned immediately, without subsequent movement, with a decisive and calm movement with tweezers. Technicians moving from Hollywood are advised to practice on the model first before applying it to clients.

Q: What kind of installation durability can clients realistically expect?

A: According to the product specification, Black Bond offers installation durability of up to 7 weeks with proper care. The actual durability of an individual client always depends on her natural eyelash growth cycle and daily routine, so this information should be communicated as the upper limit of expectations, and not a guaranteed result for each client.

Q: Is the adhesive as reliable outside the recommended temperature/humidity range as other Kallos adhesives?

A: The optimal conditions for Black Bond are a temperature of 19–25°C and a humidity of 30–70%, similar to other Kallos adhesives. According to the manufacturer, the adhesive retains a pronounced bonding strength beyond this range, but for the most consistent results from installation to installation, we still recommend working within the specified parameters and using a hygrometer in the salon.

Q: Is a patch test still necessary despite the extremely fast drying?

A: Yes, as with any cyanoacrylate adhesive, a 48-hour sensitivity test is recommended before the first full installation with a new client, regardless of the drying rate of the product.
