LOL hawthorne, the funny thing is i went looking in the garage where we keep all the paints and such because i needed to spray paint some patio furniture...it happened to be the one we had; then i had it sitting on the counter for 3 days waiting to go back to the garage when i read country 4 ever's post; that's the only reason i knew what they were talking about

i'm heading out to canadian tire right now--i'll let you know if they have it

Thanks Sharon 1965! I have not checked at Canadian Tire! I watch to see how you do!

But the bright blue tape clashes with my bright red fleece face straps.

Maybe we could agitate for pink tape (excuse me: flesh-toned tape).

Sharon.........

I just noticed that you're using the same mask as I am. If you're having difficulty with rainout, you might want to check the post I made last night about Rainout Reduction on an Aura mask. I'm using pieces of cotton string....and the technique is working well.

You can get it at Canadian Tire. 1" or 2" widtth. Works just fine and doesn't feel like you ar trying to rip your skin or lips off when you take it off.

yup
just got back from crappy tire
they have both the delicate surface and the multisurface

gerald,
i don't have any rainout issues; i use a fleece hose cover, route the hose overhead and only use my HH as a passover, but thanks for the tip, i'll keep it in mind if i ever have the problem

Thanks Sharon 1965! Good old "Crappy Tire"! They have almost anything!
I looked online after I read your message about going to check and found the one for delicate surfaces. Didn't see the multi surface. The delicat looked like it was #7080 here and not #2080 as people are posting. Which do you have (or anyone else) and are they both easy on the face!
Thanks.

hawthorne
the one i have is #2090, but they had that and the #2080 at the store

i just happened to have the 2090 hangin around

don't know yet if it'll work for me...last night i got all ready (and i'm sure most cpap-ers know what that means) and was already in bed masked up and snuggled down when i realized the tape was still sittin on that counter...so, yeah, tonight i'll give it a try

Thanks Sharon1965. I'll be interested to hear how the tape works for you tonight IF you remember it! LOL. I know what you mean about getting all set up to sleep!!

Thanks to this thread I went to Walmart super center this afternoon. They had the 3M in Multisurface only, at widths 1, 1 1/2, and 2 inches. So I bought the one-and-a-half width. They also had blue painters tape multi-surface in the Duck brand, as in duct tape, but I went with the 3M. I work tonight but may try it in the morning when I sleep days, though my face is still pretty bloodied from 2 or 3 weeks of paper tape.

I got everything on last night and turned out the light. Within about 30 seconds, I had the most unexpected, humongous, explosive cough........and just about blew my brains out my ears!!!! I had absolutely no warning to take off the tape. I think that's the one disadvantage of the tape! OUCH!!! Man, did that hurt!
