I was just wandering if anybody has ever had a problem using jaw juice for earliners I just used it for the first time and it made made my earliners very soft the bad thing is it is up towards the top and is causing it to sag help!

I have never used that glue before, but lots of chemicals will soften or eat plastic liners. I cleaned a Jonas plastic liner with acetone and it ate the tip.
I am guessing you might be okay once it dries, but you are going to have to card it until then. I know the Jonas liners got hard again once the chemical dried up.
Jaw Juice is a "destructive adhesive". In other words, it sticks simply by melting plastic to other plastic. It holds jaws in by melting the surface and welding it to the form. You've wasted your time and your money attempting to install earliners with it. It simply did what it does, yet that doesn't allow it to adhere to the skin. You've got melted earliners in the skin now and they'll likely drum as it cures.
Trust us when we tell you that only epoxy will adhere to both the liners and the skin. Some do adhere to the skin, but none actually lock into the plastic earliners. If you doubt that, just put a dollop of your favorite substitute on the earliner and allow to cure. Then bend the ear and see which ones just pop off cleanly.
