There are a few little tricks that make processing a little easier:
Cellophane paper
Put a drop of non-greasy hand cream (e.g. udder cream) on a cellophane paper
fold together
Spread the cream thinly
Pull the thread through this film
smoothes the thread without making it greasy
Palm
Put a drop of cream on the palm of your hand.
Rub it in.
Gently pull the thread through your hand – great for shorter lengths.
Japanese method
(Also known as: Forehead shine deluxe 😅 )
Important: Do not wear make-up!
Pull the thread over your forehead several times.
The natural skin oil gently smooths the thread.
