Just use a drop of a transparent nail polish lacquer.
When I cut the hole in front, I use shoe glue to prevent destruction.

I usually buy medical compression pantyhose. There's much more spandex in them - more elastic, more tight, more slippery, more everything.
I made two exceptions from this "rule" and I didn't like it:
1) I bought nylon pantyhose - I threw them away the same day they arrived
2) I bought Gatta Brillant - they have a seam, but they have the same width everywere. Near the toes they are wider than my thick winter male socks.

Nylon melts at 190–350 °C
Pantyhose are dyed at 95 °C and shaped at 140 °C

So, at least there should not be any problem drying them by a heater.

Great, that will really put my mind at ease when I'm blasting heat on my tights. Well, they're cheap ones anyway. Btw, I just got another pair of control top pantyhose and this one fits perfectly. The last one I got was 40dn while this one is 15dn, which probably helped a bit. I ripped a tiiiny hole in it though, forgetting that my nails were a bit sharp in my excitement to get them on. Hopefully it doesn't get much larger very quickly. Oh well.

I don't really notice much of a difference compared to normal pantyhose though, are control tops just suppose to be just a little bit tighter? Which one do you prefer?
