yeah that might work.  i used the Arrid extra dry yesterday when i re-did my application.  just to make a long story short, my nape is lifting right now.  on my way home i am gonna stop and find some liquid bandage.
 
you know what, i am not gonna do that.  i am getting my sew-in this weekend.  the nape can crawl up to the sky as far as I am concerned right now.

You might want to try the CertainDri deodorant or liquid bandage around the hairline.  Sexi has written before that the deo works.   I've only tried the liquid bandage & now I get 7-9 day holds out of tape & adhesive layer.  I used to only get 2 day holds, regardless of what I tried.  The liquid bandage cleans up well with alcohol.  I put it over the scalp protector.
 
It gives a nice, smooth, tight (but flexible) surface for the tapes & adhesives.

i think they are alike as well as the Mr. C's all three of them..
 
shoot, if that is the case I don't need to try it.  i've used Secure and Mr. C's and it didn't do anything for me.
 
 
any other suggestions?

You can also try Proflex with ORWG...works great for me. just use very little glue...use your finget to apply it and make sure its tacky before appl..about 3-5 mins.

FLMDiva I feel your pain. I don't know what causes the changes in my body chemisty. It could be my diet or where I am in my monthly hormonal cycle or something. I use NT, PF no shine in front and ST in nape and apply it the exact same way every time. Sometimes it seems like the skin at the top of my forehead gets extra oily as if it's producing WAY more oil just to get the adhesive off of my skin and other times it's normal. My holds usually last for 5-7 days and sometimes they will last for more than 2 weeks and I have no idea why because I didn't do anything different.
 
I would try what Meechie said about going back to some of your old adhesives that didn't work in the past because our body chemistry changes and they may work for you now.

i understand what you are saying now.  i am gonna take it back to the beginning and try the mity tite like Sexi suggested.  I am hunting for the cheapest price right now.  i think that i am gonna start out with the 2oz little bottle first to see what it does for me.

when i first started back using EB, i used it with supertape and blue liner tape.  the same thing happened and the tape totally lifted off of my skin.  i don't know what could've been the problem.

Hi FLMDiva,

I am in the same boat with these adhesives. My endurabond did not last me longer than a week. I can tell you from the pic it looks like maybe you put on too much. Lately, I've been using proflex and davlyn which is still so so. About a 5 day hold on edges with davlyn. I've stopped stressing so much. It is what it is.
