You know what? I haven't put any tutorials up in a long while so here's the ones that have been rotting in my camera or just recently done. We'll do the one that has been rotting most.
Will the spray adhesive glue work? Or does the caulk work better. Where do you get the caulk stuff at? Or what kind of other product can i use for the spikes. I want the spike to be permanent. so they won't fall down. I got a black wig. So will the caulk still show up on it or not. Please tell me. Thanks.

I've never even heard of the spray adhesive glue thing...>.> Try it out though and see for yourself. But I do know that the caulk is awesome. You can get it at any hardware store or from Katie Bair's site directly. Just make sure to get the clear-dry stuff.
But with any wig, the amount of caulk shown is dependent on how thick you put it on. If you do it like my picture shows, you'll be fine after it dries. If you feel it's going to dry pretty visibly, then quickly wipe it off with water...and something (can't remember) and that will keep it from curing.

I just got this kwik dry stuff at Home Depot today. And the one that I got was a different one but the same name. The one that I got is called kwick dry plus. The tube is a gold color and the writing is in red. Its the clear kind. I got the one that you told me on the email you sent me yesterday. Please tell me if this one is ok and safe to use. How much of this stuff do i need to use on a wig to spike it up. Thanks.

As long as it dries clear, then it's all good. But if you read the tutorial, you'll see how much you should use on your finger at a time for the spikes. Just start on the root and do the quick strokes downward.
This might be an odd question to ask. But can you put regular paint on a wig. The reason why I ask this question is because the character that I want to be for the anime convention has gray streaks or highlights in his hair. I was wondering if it would hurt or damage the wig or not. I wanted to use gray paint on it but I don't know if I should. Please help me with this question. I need to know. Thanks.
No, that will ruin the wig. But depending on which character it's for and what color the wig is, you can either put in the streaks yourself with a silver sharpie or by adding in extensions.
I don't know if you heard of this series its called Beyblade and there is a character named Ray Kon and he has the weird color hair. They are actually gray highlights on the outer part of the hair. The color of the wig is a black spikey wig. Will the silver show up on the spikes I just recently made? How light do I have to go on the silver so the highlights will be light enough to see? I could send you a picture of him, but it has to be by email. Please help.
Oooh, I love Rei! Anyway, those aren't highlights! Those are just shadows so in a wig, those wouldn't be there. But even if you went at it in a light sharpie, it wouldn't show up on a black wig since you can't lighten a wig, only darken it.
