Re: Adhesive Left from Patch????

When my patches won't stick, I use a little bit of "New Skin" around the edges to glue it back down. To remove the sticky black "uck" from the remaining adhesive from the patches and to also remove the dried "New Skin", just apply some "New Skin" liquid on top of the dried uck and wipe off with a kleenix. It stinks but it works. "New Skin" is a "first-aid antiseptic liquid bandage and can be purchased in the band-aid section of any large pharmacy. A little goes a very long way so the $7.00 cost for a 1 FL OZ bottle is pretty cheap. I have used 1/2 bottle in a month. By the way, I am on Duragesic patches for chronic pain. Catherine
