Topic Explanation:
The discussion focuses on maximizing the adhesive longevity of Salts convex ostomy bags, aiming to achieve a secure fit for up to three days. The original poster is seeking advice on how to enhance the durability of their ostomy bag's adhesive, especially given their active lifestyle. They currently use precut Salts convex bags with a barrier ring and flanges, but face challenges with leaks and adhesive longevity. They have tried heating the bag and ring to improve adhesion and are looking for additional tips to extend the wear time of their ostomy appliance.

Advice and Helpful Insights:
1. Proper Skin Preparation:
- Ensure the skin around the stoma is clean and dry before applying the bag. Use oil and fragrance-free soaps like Dial or Ivory to avoid residue that could weaken the adhesive.
- After cleaning, make sure the skin is completely dry. Some users recommend using a fan or hair dryer to help with drying.

2. Enhancing Adhesion:
- Apply heat to the bag and the ring during application to improve adhesion. This can be done using a hair dryer or simply by pressing with a warm hand.
- Consider using skin protective wipes or Salts protector wipes to create a sticky area that can help the bag adhere better.
- Allow the adhesive to set properly after application by sitting still for about 10-20 minutes, possibly using an abdominal binder to help secure the setting.

3. Additional Products and Techniques:
- Use strip extenders to help keep the flange on and waterproof the seal.
- An old trick involves applying roll-on deodorant around the stoma to improve adhesion (ensure it's suitable and non-irritating for your skin).
- Wearing an ostomy belt can help hold the bag closer to the skin, potentially reducing stress on the adhesive.

4. Consider Different Products:
- If persistent issues occur, it might be worth trying different brands or types of bags and accessories. Consulting with a stoma nurse for samples and advice can be beneficial.
- Some users find that certain brands, like Coloplast which includes zinc in their base wafers, might help with skin sensitivity and enhance healing.

5. Managing Output and Lifestyle Adjustments:
- Regularly empty the bag to avoid excess weight that can pull on the adhesive.
- Adjusting your diet to manage output consistency and volume can also reduce stress on
