Stopping small leaks, adhesives, tricks etc

How much of a small leak is ok?

What do you use to stop a leak from a mask?

Some where I read about an adhesive, but could not find the post again.

So what are your tricks other then tweaking your interface. And all else fails.
I can do this, I will do this.

My disclaimer: I'm not a doctor, nor have I ever worked in the health care field Just my personal opinions.

There are a number of tweaks and adaptations, but they are specific to each mask/interface.

Try the Search button above, and type in the name of your mask/interface. You may also wish to add the word "fix" in your search.

Pillow type nasal interface used with lanolin (find it in the breastfeeding dept.).....makes a great seal. Tweak & adjust your pillows so that they contact the nares at the correct angle.
