How long does Japanese Hard Builder Gel last?
With correct preparation and professional application, retention of six weeks or more is typical.
Is it suitable for beginners?
It is formulated for licensed professionals. Technicians newer to structured gel often begin with Builder in a Bottle and move to the jar as their sculpting work advances.
