To those of you who actually use a boon type writer, what is the best adhesive to replace the stuff that comes with it? I am getting frustrated with how fast the stickiness goes away. Any advice on what I can use to make it last longer?
Office supply stores and dime stores sell this stuff called Fun-Tac or Sticky Tac, it's dirt cheap and is used by many professional mentalist's to adhere Boon-type writers. Most of the tac I've seen is of a blue color but you could find flesh color too, if you look hard enough.
Just out of curiosity, have you experimented with the under-the-nail Swami's yet? Those are smaller than the Boon writers and I personally find them ideal in close-up situations. After discovering those a couple years ago I haven't switched back to the Boon writer's, however, I would if I was doing platform work. In the long run though, it just boils down to what you are more comfortable using.
In any case, I am pleased that you are taking the time to practice nail-writing. It is a very powerful tool. I've given away a lot of business cards with the Swami Opener right out of Corinda's book.
Have fun man!
