I rooted my little Kate, it was fiddly and I think I should have used a straighter mohair, a tip was given to me, after rooting, carefully give the eyelashes a quick blast with your heat gun in an upward direction, this makes the eyelashes bend upwards.. but be careful not to go too close to the eyelashes or they will shrivel.
I would also be interested in other tips,

I haven't tried rooting them but did see something about rooting them long and spritzing them so you can comb them upwards onto the forehead and leave to dry. Once dry cut to required length.
