| Does anyone else have issues with the nasal strips not sticking? If so, any tips you can share, please. |

| I used them for the first time this weekend and didn't have any issues, other than taking them off. They were really on there. Do you use a rag and brush the hair on the nose upwards before applying? I watched a few YouTube videos before I attempted it. |

| I couldn't get them to stick at ALL. I know someone who sells them, so I had her put them on for me last weekend and they stuck perfectly. I think now that mine are getting their winter coats, there's a little more hair for them to stick to. |

I think a lot depends on the horse in question. One of our mares is very slick haired and has a lot of natural oil in her coat/skin. It is hard to get the strips to stick. We use Show Calf spray adhesive to make them stick. |

| I use show cattle adhesive. It works great and they come right off after we run. |

 Location: Vinita, Okla. | I agree w those of you who said show calf adhesive!!!! I personally use Stierwalts, but I'm sure any brand would work--if in doubt read the do's and don't's on the label just for safety's sake! I use the medium strength but very lightly! And I can get a few runs in with the same one before having to open another one! I did have one mare that was sensitive to the adhesive on her big bald face, so naturally I went to other breathing aids!!! And I've had one can for a year!!! |
