- Shake the bottle vigorously for 2 minutes before first use. Open the bottle and apply a single drop of Dark Matter Pro onto silicone or foil. Do not apply on plastic, paper, tape, or jade stone as these surfaces may react to the adhesive. Allow the glue dot to sit for 5 minutes before you start working with it.
- If you prefer to use a plastic glue ring, take care to securely cover it with aluminium foil before adding your Dark Matter Pro glue dot.
- When you begin lashing, work from the middle of the glue dot, using a scooping technique to extract a bubble of adhesive and apply it to the root of the lash extension.
- If you use the pinching or finger roll methods to create volume fans, take care not to use hand sanitizers with high alcohol content and do not use regular primers and glue accelerators as their main active ingredient is alcohol. Contact with alcohol will negatively affect Dark Matter Pro's lash retention in the same way that contact with oil negatively affects regular lash adhesives.
- Instead, opt for alcohol-free hand sanitizer and use only Ruthie Belle's Adhesive Superdry as a primer/adhesive accelerator. Adhesive Superdry has an alcohol content that is several times lower than typical adhesive accelerators and is formulated specifically for Dark Matter Pro (it works with other lash adhesives, too).
- Don't worry about replacing your glue drop, even if it begins to dry out from the outer edge. One Dark Matter Pro glue dot can be used for up to 5 hours! Replace with a fresh dot only when the texture of the adhesive becomes stringy.

**Lash Artist Tip**:Recommend your clients treat their natural lashes with castor oil while wearing extensions. Castor oil is known for its nourishing properties for both skin and hair. Regular application of castor oil will help nourish and strengthen natural lashes and boost lash growth.
Attention: Dark Matter Pro is not compatible with Prolong lash cleanser because of its high alcohol content. Contact with alcohol negatively affects Dark Matter Pro's lash retention the same way that contact with oil will negatively affect regular lash adhesives.
How to store Dark Matter Pro?
- Store your Dark Matter Pro in a cool, dark place, preferably under 25°C (77°F). Unopened bottles can be kept on the middle shelf of the refrigerator. To start using a refrigerated bottle of Dark Matter Pro, keep it on the counter at room temperature for 30 minutes, and shake well for 2 minutes before first use.
- An opened bottle of Dark Matter Pro should never be stored in the refrigerator to avoid condensed water from developing inside the bottle and beginning the glue's curing process.
- When stored correctly, Dark Matter Pro will stay fresh for up to 6 months unopened, and up to 3 months after opening.

FAQs
Does Dark Matter Pro require patch testing?
- Dark Matter Pro does not require patch testing due to the medical-grade quality cyanoacrylate used in our formula.
Which primers or glue accelerators can be used with Dark Matter Pro?
- Dark Matter Pro should only be used with Ruthie Belle's Adhesive Superdry as a primer/adhesive accelerator. Adhesive Superdry has an alcohol content that is several times lower than typical adhesive accelerators and is formulated specifically for Dark Matter Pro (but it works with other lash adhesives, too).
- Dark Matter Pro is extremely sensitive to alcohol so take care to avoid all high alcohol content products, as they will negatively affect lash retention (in the same way that oil negatively affects regular lash adhesives).
