*Please remember to do a patch test before full application.
The patch test ensures you do not react negatively to a particular tape or adhesive.
- Place a small amount of adhesive/tape on an area of sensitive skin.
- Put a band-aid over the adhesive/tape and leave alone for the night.
- Remove the band-aid the following day and check for any reaction.
If there is any redness or irritation, do not use the product. Also, check to make sure that the bond didn’t release from the skin. If no irritation occurred and the bond was secure, you can use that product with confidence.
