But, if you use the alternative Torbot Bonding Cement it is pretty good and if you want to make it stickier, you can first clear the ear well and apply Tincher of Benzine (sp?). Make sure to have the adhesive remover around so if you need to remove it, it is not hard or tortures's to the dog. You can buy this at Natures Farmacy with a nice selection of tape for very reasonable price.... here is a link if you interested. _http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/results.php?category4_ (http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/results.php?category4) I know, I know and I will not put anyone down for using what they want, BUT I had a bitch years ago damn near lose her ears over a reaction to 3m weather stripping and I had to wait almost a month to re tape for her to heal, so or me it is not worth but I understand that it works well for some, plus the people that used it had no solutions to get it off at the time....So it was horrid for that dog. As for the Tear mender, I used it once to glue ears together and it worked, but on of my silly pups must have got hung up with her ears and they tore apart ripping all the hair off to the skin...No bleeding and no worst ware. Everyone has their own techniques use what works for you.... Debbie Kaser Mariner's Shepherds _www.marinershepherds.com_ (http://www.marinershepherds.com) In a message dated 11/1/2009 7:24:47 A.M.

When I heard that Skin Bond was meant for adhearing appliances to skin in the hospital, I thought I'd try it. Skin Bond was awesome, in my opinion. Since it is not available, I tried the Tear Mender and it didn't irritate the ears like the weatherstrip adhesive.
