Hi guys.
I was wondering what tips people had for making a bag stick and last for three days. I'm currently using Salts convex bags. I get them precut. I'm quite active in my daily life. At the moment, my bags last from one day, and sometimes now I am getting more days that they are lasting to about three days.
At the moment, I use a barrier ring as well, again from Salts. I always have to use flanges. The issues I have are sometimes the leak is under the ring, or sometimes the bag just not lasting for more than a full day. I do heat my bag; today I heated the ring, so we will see how that goes. I am getting better but thought I'd ask for any tips that I could use. Thanks in advance.
