If you want to tape and are allergic to adhesive

Post by ozij » Thu Feb 02, 2006 8:54 am

I just discovered today that:
"3M Micropore Surgical" and "Nexcare Gentle Paper" tape, are one and the same thing. I am allergic to adhesive, and can tolerate this just fine (that's what they use on allergic people after surgery).

interesting .. I have a van dyke and was wondering if this tape is OK for facial hair. I keep it very trim (about a 1 on the Norelco Trimmer).

Right now I am using a mouthpiece and chin strap .. I'm almost at the point were I have controlled/stopped my mouth breathing .. a simple piece of tape sounds like the next step.
