1. Complete the client consultation and apply appropriate UV protective under-eye pads and eyelid protection.
2. Shake the adhesive bottle approximately 20 times before dispensing.
3. Dispense only 2–3 small drops into a glue ring or protected adhesive surface.
4. Dip the extension or fan base into a controlled amount of adhesive.
5. Position the extension correctly on the isolated natural lash.
6. Once placement is confirmed, activate the compatible UV lamp for approximately 0.5–1.5 seconds, depending on the UV system being used.
7. Refresh the working adhesive approximately every 10–15 minutes and reseal the bottle immediately after dispensing.

Pro Tip: Use a glue ring to help minimize unnecessary light exposure to the working adhesive. It also makes it easier to control the amount of thin adhesive picked up and remove excess product before placement.

• Using InstaSET Black before developing expert placement speed → Choose a slower UV adhesive until your isolation and placement workflow becomes consistently fast.
• Using too much adhesive → Thin viscosity requires only a small, controlled amount for a clean attachment.
• Activating the lamp before placement is correct → Complete the attachment first, then trigger the UV cure.
• Leaving the glue drop exposed to unnecessary light → Use small fresh drops and keep them shielded whenever possible.
• Using a UV system without proper protection → Always follow professional UV training protocols and use appropriate eyelid and under-eye protection.

Why would I choose black UV glue instead of clear UV glue?

Black UV adhesive blends naturally with traditional black lash extensions and can create a darker, more defined appearance at the attachment area. It is especially useful for artists who primarily create black Classic, Volume, or Promade sets.

Can UV InstaSET Black be used with primer and bonder?

Yes. Curacoro states that InstaSET Black is compatible with its Primer and Bonder Collection, allowing artists to incorporate these products into their preparation and retention workflow.

Can I use UV InstaSET Black for Classic, Volume, and Promade lashes?

Yes. UV adhesive can be incorporated into different professional extension techniques as long as the technician has proper UV-system training and can create correct attachment before activating the light.

What should I check if the adhesive is not curing properly under the UV lamp?

First check the lamp position, light output, exposure time, and distance from the attachment area. Curacoro notes that curing speed varies with lamp power: higher-output UV light can cure faster than lower-output systems.

Can clients with an allergy to traditional lash glue use UV InstaSET Black?

UV curing does not make lash adhesive allergy-free. InstaSET Black contains cyanoacrylate, so clients with known adhesive sensitivities should not automatically be considered suitable for a UV system.
