My lab ordered this product for use in our lab. It is supposed to act as a "gasket" to seal minor leak from deep "laugh lines" and leaks around the bridge of the nose.
It works very well. After on the skin and it heats up a bit it really adheres well. All you need is a thin band and voila. It is also reusable.
After awhile we had an "Ah Ha" moment. The stuff is Silly Putty.
SILLY PUTTY!!!! We bought it for $5.95. It's the same as the stuff that comes out of the egg. It even bounces and "copies" newspapers when pressed on it.
It works, but save your money and purchase it for much cheaper at a kids toy store.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting: "Wow what a ride!"

I have no doubt, how I sleep affects every waking moment.
I am making progress-NOW I remember that I can't remember
If this isn’t rocket science why are there so many spaceshots?

Fortunately for me I have a 6 year old....Perhaps I should go through her room, I am already using one of her headbands to hold my hose up!
