5.3 Curing Guidelines
The Makartt Solid Nail Glue Gel requires curing under a UV or LED nail lamp. The curing time may vary based on the lamp's wattage and the thickness of the gel layer.
- Cure for at least 60 seconds under a UV/LED lamp. For thicker applications or lower wattage lamps, extend curing time to 120 seconds or more.
- When using clear or sheer colored nail tips, UV light can pass through effectively, ensuring proper curing.
- Avoid using opaque or solid colored nail tips for application, as they can block UV light, preventing the glue from curing properly.
- With handheld nail lamps, cure the center of the nail first, then the sides, to ensure the entire area is fully cured.

The solid glue gel has a thick, solid texture, which is its normal state. It is not dried out. If the gel becomes too firm due to cold temperatures, you can briefly soak the jar in warm water (approximately 35°F+) to soften it for easier application. This process will not alter its solid state.

7. Troubleshooting
- Gel is too firm: If the solid glue gel is too hard to use, especially in cold temperatures, soak the jar in warm water (around 35°F or warmer) for a few minutes to soften it. This will ease application without changing its solid state.
- Nail tips not adhering or lifting: Ensure thorough nail preparation, including buffing and cleansing. Apply a base coat to both your natural nail and the inside of the nail tip. Press firmly during application to eliminate air bubbles and gaps. Ensure adequate curing time under a UV/LED lamp, especially for low-power lamps (120 seconds or more).
- Gel not curing: Verify that you are using clear or sheer colored nail tips, as opaque tips can block UV light. Ensure your UV/LED lamp is functioning correctly and provides sufficient wattage. Increase curing time if necessary.
- Removal: To remove the cured gel, it is recommended to use a nail drill to buff down the gel or a specialized gel nail glue remover.
