How to use
- Shake for 30 seconds and discard the first drop.
- Use a small drop on a glue sticker, jade stone or crystal. We don't recommend glue rings, as the fumes sit too close to your airways.
- Replace your drop every 15 to 20 minutes, or sooner if it starts to thicken.
- Keep it clean. Wipe the nozzle with Glue Remover Wipes and "burp" the bottle to release excess air.
- Store it properly. Keep opened bottles in a cool spot away from sunlight in an airtight glue storage container, and replace after 4 weeks.
For even better retention, prep with Prep Me lash primer and finish with Set Me superbonder.
Getting the setting speed right
Setting too slowly?
Raise the humidity or temperature in your lash room. A humidifier and the heat setting on your air conditioner help.
Setting too fast?
Your room may be above 55% humidity. Lower it with a dehumidifier or air conditioning, or switch to Ultra Rapid Black.
Rapid Black FAQ
Which Lash Tribe glue suits low humidity lash rooms?
Rapid Black's ideal range is 30 to 55% humidity, so it suits air-conditioned salons, winter months and drier climates.
How fast does Rapid Black set?
Rapid Black sets in 1 to 2 seconds in ideal conditions (22 to 24°C). Higher humidity and temperature make it set faster, lower humidity and temperature slow it down.
What's the difference between Rapid Black and Ultra Rapid Black?
Both are black, thin, 5 ml glues that set in 1 to 2 seconds. Rapid Black performs best in lower humidity (30 to 55%), while Ultra Rapid Black works across a wider range (30 to 70%).
Does it work for classic, volume and pre-made fans?
Yes. Rapid Black works with classic lashes, pre-made volume fans and hand-made volume fans.
How long does the glue last once opened?
Use it within 4 weeks of opening, or sooner if it starts to thicken. Unopened bottles keep for up to 6 months in the fridge or freezer. Let the bottle come back to room temperature before opening so condensation doesn't get inside.
Is Rapid Black latex-free?
Yes. All Lash Tribe lash adhesives are latex-free. Like all professional lash glues they are cyanoacrylate-based, so always patch test new clients.
Can I use it with primers and bonders?
Yes. Rapid Black can be used with all types of lash liquids, including primers, bonders and fanning liquids.
Why is my lash retention poor?
Poor retention usually comes down to an old glue drop, glue that's past 4 weeks open, room conditions outside the glue's range, poor lash prep, or client aftercare. Use a fresh drop every 15 to 20 minutes and keep your room within 30 to 55% humidity and 22 to 24°C.
