It came off after a couple of days so I put a new one on...I followed the directions but I apologize that I can't remember. Didn't see any noticeable difference unfortunately. Good luck!

As long as you want. Ive left it on for as long as an hour. It wipes off easy, unlike other waxes. As long as you dont get dust or dirt on it because when you wipe it off it might make scratches.

I leave mine on all the time (unless it is covering stitches & then I take it out). I just relax the tension when I am done and then tighten it up when I am ready to work again. And these are what I use 90% of the time.

Yes, the longer it is left it, the better the effect. I leave it in for 20-30 minutes although for some people 10 will give their desired effect.

It depends on how thin the material is. Try using a thin wet towel over the patch when applying it.

One application will stay on for 1-3 days. However the longer it is on it can cause irritation. Once taken off it will not stick to use again.

If my dog was comfortable with it on I initially left it on for over 24hours. I don't see any harm from leaving it on that long.

20-30 minutes. Same amount of time you keep the gel on. The directions suggest not leaving it on for more than thirty minutes.

It depends on temp and humidity. IMHO waiting too long is worse then removing early. When too dry it's hard and takes a lot too remove. Too early and you're just moving it around. You'll know as you start removing it if you have to wait a little longer. Typical 80 degree day, I'd say less than an hour. Obtw I would not put on in direct sun unless I worked small sections at a time.

No more than a couple or hours I think. I usually put it on overnight and it's done by the morning!

I leave it on for approximately 5 minutes, sometimes a little less, seems to work great!

Leave it on for at least 12 hours. The longer you leave it the firmer it is. Also, it is not going to be as thick as store bought because they add a thickener to it.

About 15 -20 minutes...not as long as other packs, but if you have sensitive skin, this is a good option...you can put it on and leave it on...my PT told me that it's not necessary to have it super cold.

I usually have mine on for 15 - 20 minutes at a time. I use it about 3 times a week. I have used the current one for at least 2 months.

My experience has been that the patch begins to fall off after 5-6 days (maximum recommended time to have on is 7 days). I wash the patch area like any other, and perhaps this is a factor. Occasionally it has sort of crumpled up and fallen off in the shower - careful, what a horrorshow if it went down the drain and provided some nice and unusual work for a plumber, but then again it crumples to a not too large, not too sticky piece. I have not specifically tried the method you suggest since I feel that I should leave it on for the 7 days, assuming one of the above doesn't occur, but I'd guess that like most other rubbery cements that heat makes it somewhat less effective, so I'd think your method has some chance of success. Assuming it stays on for 7 days I just lift up a corner and begin to peel off, moving the fingers continually inward into the patch to lift it up - I find it less comfortable if one lifts the corner and then continues to pull from the corner. Of course all the above advice is given without knowing details of your disease or skin condition so can be nothing but a general comment about what works for me. My situation was relatively minor but still a terrific product which cured my condition for $3.75 (3 pads) vs. hundreds for the dermatologist had I not been insured.

Remove the patch from its packaging, remove its protective liner, and place it on the body at the site specified on the packaging. Following application, body heat will activate the essential oils, releasing their aromatherapeutic benefits. Apply to upper chest. May be worn for up to 24 hours.
