Durapore has a strong cloth backing, but the adhesive just doesn't hold. If I keep trying to pull my mouth open while wiggling my lips, the adhesive will let go starting from the inner edge. With a cloth stuffed in my mouth it's still a working gag but I expected better. I'm not sure if my tape roll is just old or if I should wait longer for it to set? Also should I try Transpore, or is the adhesive the same?
However what does work for me is Leukoplast, which I spotted at the local pharmacy. The clerk said that this isn't really meant to be used on skin because the adhesive is so strong, so I just had to get a roll 'just in case'. It's similar to those old fashioned band-aids that you had to cut from a long roll. And the adhesive sticks to the tape itself really well too, so multiple layers get quite strong. With cloth stuffing, I can blow on the gag all day and it doesn't come loose.
Leukoplast sounds good. So you put some clothing inside then this tape.
Are you putting more layers on eachother one by one. Or going around your head with the whole roll?
