Dos & Don’ts for Maintaining Builder Gel

Builder gel gives strength and structure — but it needs proper care.

Do: Book regular infills

Every 2–3 weeks keeps the structure balanced and prevents lifting.

Don’t: File the builder gel aggressively at home

This disrupts the structure and can cause cracking.

Do: Choose a length that suits your hands

Builder gel is strong, but not indestructible.

Don’t: Submerge nails in very hot water

Extended heat weakens the bond over time.
