Question 1

If i am doing a gel manicure what order am i putting this product on? Am i prepping my nail and dehydrating it then applying?

Accepted Answer

1. prep natural nail by removing the shine 
2. remove dust and dehydrate with ph bond
3. apply thin layer of foundation gel and cure
4. apply structure gel (this is where you will build your strength with the apex) and cure
5. remove sticky layer then shape and finish file (not too smooth if doing gel polish)
6. apply polish/color gel/art/etc. and top coat
side note: remember if you are applying gel top coat over regular polish the regular polish needs to be 100% dry before applying your gel top coat.
Hope this helps.

Question 2

Can you file this after application?

Accepted Answer

Yes, however they suggest you seal the edge of the nail, and if you file, of course you file off the seal. But yes, you can still file your nails.

Question 3

can this be used as a nail extension gel ?

Accepted Answer

I only do my own nails, but I've been using structure gel on top of long glued on nail tips for years. It works great. 
Step 1- glue on tip
2- Gelish foundation gel
3- Gelish structure gel
4- the nail is built, so i design it/ paint it with whatever gel polish
Lasts 2-3 weeks and it's so much easier to me than dealing with the thick builder gels in the pot

Question 4

Do Ineed any other products such as primer, uv light, basecoat or bonder to use this?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you need to prime your nails after you prepare the nail plate.  I use alcohol.  Next use a bonder. You don't need to use a base coat.  I use 2 coats and cure each coat under an LED or UV lamp.  It works great if someone needs a little more strength for the nails. It applies like nail polish and doesn't need filing after applying.  Although, a very light buffing is ok, too.   I hardly use hard gel anymore unless I need to extend the nails.  I love this product and I think you will love it too.
