Annie, i like the glue idea. I've mentioned this same idea to my wife who is a sleep tech.
Three weeks ago I went in for my first year re-evaluation at the lab. The following morning I hung around for the office staff meeting which was attended by the resmed area rep. We talked for a time and and we talked about my eight mask plus Breeze experiences. I managed to get an Ultra Mirage mask from her which I belive the best mask yet. She also invited me to dinner with some of the lab personel in mid October, I will talk to her about adhesive.
If a good adhesive could be found, there would be no leaks. This to me would be the ultimate setup. How about spirit gum(stage makeup adhesive) I had considered flexible calodian, but I feel it may damage the mask, and the skin with extensive use.
The tenz adhesive would probably be the ticket. I wore one everyday for 2 1/2 years, from 6AM till 10PM and the gel adhesive on the good electrodes can last 6 or more months. And, never any skin reaction.


Great Idea!!
Joe
