Has anybody used Tac Gel?

Post by honolii » Mon Jun 13, 2005 12:27 pm

I have used a number of masks. I am a side sleeper and have leaks. I was told about a product called tac gel but can't seem to find a place that sells it. I was also told that the product must be compatible with tens units in order to not break down the sealing portion of the mask. I would appreciate feedback on a product that seals the mask.

There's a product called "It Sticks", a water soluble adhesive normally used to hold up support hose or to hold in place wigs or toupees. I bought it from A suppotr hose specialty company in Mass. It works like a charm.

CPAP is wonderful until a cure is found!

Does the water based adhesive have any negative effect on the mask or skin. This product sounds very promising but I have sensitive skin and I can't afford to damage my masks.
