This topic is about exploring the use of Skin Tac adhesive wipes as a potential alternative to traditional ostomy barrier-securing products like rings and paste. The goal is to see if Skin Tac can improve adhesion, extend wear time, and be safely used on damaged skin. Here are some insights and advice based on the experiences shared:

- The initial test of Skin Tac showed it to be very sticky and water-resistant, but it did not hold up well over time, with the adhesive lifting after a day and detaching by the third day.

- Questions to consider include whether Skin Tac can reliably replace rings or paste, if it extends wear time better than current methods, and if it is safe for use on damaged skin despite package warnings.

- The current routine involves using a Hollister CeraPlus convex wafer, Hollister Adapt CeraRing, ostomy powder, and a skin-prep wipe, but there are still issues with redness and marks under the wafer.

- For those experiencing similar issues, here are some tips:
1. Use sting-free barrier films like NO-STING SKIN-PREP or 3M Cavilon No-Sting Barrier Film, which can be applied over irritated skin and used with a ring.
2. If using Skin Tac on damaged skin, apply a light layer of zinc powder first.
3. To prevent edge lifting, ensure all old adhesive is removed, check skin pH, avoid overheating the wafer, and minimize movement until the adhesive sets.
4. Many users find Skin Tac liquid with a brush applicator to be more effective than wipes. A common sequence is Skin Tac liquid, followed by a Brava Ring, and then a Hollister wafer.
5. For persistent weepy skin, try cleaning with a Brava Skin Cleansing Wipe, dusting with Hollister Adapt Stoma Powder, sealing with 3M Cavilon Barrier Spray, and using a Hollister Adapt CeraRing with a reliable pouch system.
6. Remember, individual skin chemistry varies, so it may take some experimentation to find the best combination of products for your needs.
