Customers say
Customers find the adhesive works well, particularly with Dexcom sensors, and appreciate its quality and durability, noting it lasts over a year. The product is easy to apply and represents good value for money. The stickiness receives mixed feedback – while some say it adheres reasonably well, others report it doesn’t stick at all. Skin irritation is also a concern for some customers, though many report it doesn’t irritate their skin. Several customers mention issues with the bottle cap being stuck shut.

Skin Tac is a Fantastic liquid adhesive used to keep my CGM in place
I have very delicate skin and the adhesive that Dexcom uses on the G7 Sensor and the included squarish over patch arenât strong enough to ensure that my CGM Sensor stays in place for the full 10 days. After thoroughly cleaning the area with soap and water in the location I plan to place my Dexcom G7 Sensor, I clean the area again with an alcohol wipes. After completing the cleaning process, I use one Smith and Nephew Skin Prep wipe in the same area and let it dry. I then lightly use Skin Tac liquid adhesive where the G7 Sensor will be inserted. You must wait for the Skin Tac to dry to a tacky consistency on your skin and a little Skin Tac goes a long way. The bottle I have in the photo is about half empty and I have been using it for almost three years. I deploy the G7 sensor on top of the Skin Tac Adhesive and follow Dexcomâs instructions given to ensure maximum adhesion of the Sensor and then follow their directions for applying the includes G7 over patch. Unfortunately, even with using skin prep and Skin Tac prior to deploying my Dexcom G7 Sensor and their over patxh, the adhesives uses by Dexcom on both their G7 sensor and over patch wonât keep either attached for more than 3 to 4 days before falling off. None of the CGM Sensors stay in place for the required length of time due to the adhesives becoming damp for a variety of reasons like sweating due to the summer heat and high humidity, sweating heavily due to frustrating âhot flashesâ, taking daily showers or baths using either hot or cold water and any type of soap, swimming in a pool or sweating due to exercise. The Dexcom adhesives on the G7/G6 Sensors amd over patches are in no way waterproof or water resistant. The Libre CGM system that also uses a sensor and over patch has the exact same problem but is harder to use due to how extremely small nature of their CGM products arenât waterproof or water resistant either. Even though you follow the directions for drying the sensor and patch immediately after getting it wet, the sensor and over patch fall off within a few hours afterwards which is always within 2 days of applying a new sensor and over patch when they both should stay in place for a full 10 days plus an additional 12 hours the sensor continues to work after it expires so you can change it at your convenience. Almost 3 years ago, I began searching for a better over patch that I could place over the newly inserted CGM system. I tried about 20 different over patches and medical tapes sold on Amazon and finally found a winner that stays in place for the entire 10 day sensor period and it also works well with Skin Prep and Skin Tac. After I place the Dexcom sensor and over patch onto the desired site following Dexcomâs instructions, I also use a waterproof adhesive over patch made by Lexcam which was purchased from Amazon. It definitely grips the Dexcom G7 sensor and both the Dexcom and Lexcam over patches and works with both the Skin Prep and this Skin Tac liquid to provides additional adhesion and protection for my fragile skin. The adhesives from the sensors and both over patches stay in place and donât cause skin irritation or blistering of my skin. The Lexcam over patches made for the Dexcom G7 Sensor are waterproof and are the easiest over patches to apply (IMO). If too much Skin Tac and/or skin prep was applied, I use Smith and Nephew Adhesive Remover wipes (purchased from Amazon) to clean the area around the Lexcam Dexcom G7 over patches. The remover wipe is fantastic for easily removing adhesive residue from any areas where you donât want it. The remover wipes are also essential whenever the CGM sensor and CGM patch plus the Lexcam waterproof over patches need to be removed after the CGM sensorâs session has expired. The adhesive remover wipe quickly dissolves the adhesive from both over patches and the CGM protecting your skin from being stripped during the removal process. I use the same remover wipe to clean up any leftover adhesive that might be left on my skin after everything has been removed. This Skin Tac liquid adhesive product is a lifesaver. However, I donât recommend purchasing the Skin Tac brand of adhesive remover wipes. They seem very ineffective whenever I have tried using them to remove Skin Tac or any other type of medical grade adhesive product.

Sticky, strong, and a sensor savior
For those who struggle to make their costly CGM sensors stat put for even a full seven days without having to ratchet strap the things to their skin, this stuff does the trick! For anyone who sweats during a day of hard laborous work. For swimmers, runners, and anyone who doesn’t want to be wasting their money away on stupid looking stickers to put on overtop of the stupid sticker of the sensor that just doesn’t stick.A single layer of this stuff lasts the whole 10 day sensor session of my Dexcom G6 CGM, and even at that point I will end up stretching the sticky Skin-Tac goo like Stretch Armstrong when ultimately swapping for a new one. The sensors might work for sedentary slackers, but for those working and sweating every day either by way of our skilled labor or strenuous exercise, they don’t stand a chance once you add in the showers to scrub clean. Once I used this stuff that all changed, like night to day. The cost is so minute and the amount of trash/waste so much less that it deserves it’s own silly ESG score for sustainability. To give a little context as to what I mean, if you can recall a time ever staining some sort of lumber after sanding it, the amount of wood stain in onr single brush stroke is more than enough to apply a second layer of this stuff for added stickiness. I received my bottle with about a 2½ year shelf life marked on it from the manufacturer and if I only use it one time for each sensor I don’t think I’ll make it through half of the bottle in that timeframe.With that said, I do apply an additional layer after the first once is tacky. I also will use it for giving a bandage that may be in an awkward position to stay put a much stronger hold as well. I know they make even stronger stuff for medical institution use, however the cost of that is astronomical in comparison, and if you need more hold than Skin-Tac, then you might need to just have a surgeon sew whatever to your skin permanently at that point. This stuff works, doesn’t have much of a smell (a faint solvent smell from the isopropyl alcohol and rosin that are its ingredients but nothing even remotely close to what a painter is going to have to clean his brushes with), and is sensibly priced to be a great solution for this needing to stick stuff to their skin and have it stay secured without straps 😉

Necessary for Silicone Bandages
This is great for large silicone bandages that tend to peel up on their own. I’ve been dealing with a 4×4 bandage for a while and this helps a great deal.

Great value, and goes a long way
I usually get the Skin Tac wipes, but after reading the reviews decided to try this. I’m impressed! This keeps my pump and CGM in place, and because it’s liquid, you can use either less or more, depending on what you need. I am very afraid of knocking the open bottle over, so I’m very careful to close it immediately after use. I would recommend and purchase this again.

Works great with Dexcom
I ordered this to use when applying my (3yo) sons Dexcom g6 because the adhesive on it is small and he likes to pull it off. When using this product it sticks it on so well that my son cannot peal his Dexcom off on his own, and I donât have issues with the edges pealing up. If I do it is very easy to apply it under the lifted flap thanks to the sponge applicator under the cap. I feel like this is a great alternative to the wipes because I can be much more precise on where I am applying it to ensure I am not placing it where the needle inserts. It does take slightly longer than the wipes to get tacky but I feel it is worth it. Make sure to leave the bottle standing upright at all times after opening though, if it is laying on its side it will drip out the sides of the cap (could be operator error) and is fairly difficult to clean up because of how sticky it is. If putting it in a diabetic bag I would recommend making sure it is in a ziplock!

Jâavais les lingettes et jâaimais bien, mais je voulais essayer liquide! WoW ça colle! Nous devons utiliser un dissolvant pour enlever la plaque de stomie! Idéal pour la baignade ou pour des voyages où il fait très chaud et quâun appareillage à de la difficulté à coller! Câest vraiment impressionnant!!
