why does the ends pull up
255872
I think that those ends pull up because your skin was not cleaned properly when you first applied the tape. I use baby wipes prior to applying the tapes. Another way is to simply wash the part of the body you intent to cover with this tape and dry it with a clean towel as to remove all oils from skin. It is also very important that you do not touch any portion of the adhesive side of the tape. When you do that, you add oils from the fingers onto the tape and thus it will not stay on for very long time. Just remember that our skin is always producing oils and thus we have to be very careful when applying this tape.

The last portion of the tape should always be applied with zero tension (unless it is applied for a scar manipulation effect), the edges are rounded as previously mentioned- this helps to prevent snags; if you have oily skin, if it is an area with excess hair, or if your skin has lotion/moisturizer it will affect the adhesive quality of the tape. I am a licensed practitioner, and have found that it normally stays on for 3-5 days with the majority of my athletes. Lastly, you are supposed to rub the tape after it is applied to activate the adhesive. I hope this helps!

I am responding even though I really don't have an answer to your question. I have been using the tape for some time now and it happens to me often. Even when it was applied by a physical therapist it would curl up on the ends, but maybe not as quickly as it seems to do it when i apply it myself. One thing that does have an effect on its durability is the clothing you wear with it on you. I use it on my knee occasionally and can not wear sweats or material that clings. Jeans are usually better and shorts best. On my back it stays down better. I do use the spray though and that seems to help some (not on the knee though, nothing helps it last very long at all on the knee). Do have any of the recommended spray. I can't put my hands on mine now to check the name, but its on Amazon and usually pops up when you look at the tape. It helps some. Other than that, I change it more frequently than I care to. Not any help I'm afraid, but I can offer some empathy and will check back to see if someone else offers a real solution. Thanks so much for asking. Maureen

If you round them they will stick a bit better as well as cleaning the skin w/ an alcohol wipe to get off any lotions/oil. Additionally, if you do not put a stretch on the end they will stick longer/better. That is just the area that pulls up though first and is normal. My experience with this product it it lasts 2-3 days depending on the client. I also want it off no later than the third day for skin to have some time without adhesive on it.

You have to pull the tip, it might be hard to pull so be careful not to hurt yourself.

Check to make sure the cable is around the pulley. Also, you can push down on one side of the stepper and pull the other side up, this should raise the side you are pulling on.

They can be put up end to end but not joined together. There are flaps over the ends.

The end that goes into belt or the end that receives the belt and then lift to open?

Well, I've never used it that way but you could use it to pull the bottom part of the leg opening over your foot I would think. Its kind of long to use to pull them all the way up.

Hi, Im not sure that i understanding the question... But, here at home, we always have problem with the pull out handle (where the water comes out) . Every time we shut down the water, the pull out fall down from its place, it's not tight enough. It's absolutely annoying...

The bottom by the handle pulls down and releases the supports. It's a little different.

This answer applies to the small swoop bag: I only saw it briefly after my nephew opened his gift, but the thing I remember is that the bag is very stiff and the sides do stay up. I did not expect it to be so stiff; in fact pulling the drawstring requires a fair amount of effort because the fabric is so strong.

I grab both ends and twist in opposite directions. That way when it folds together it doesn't unfold or bulk up because it is fighting against its self try to rotate in opposite directions. Either way grabbing and twisting the wire in the middle should work for you.

Theres two different places that turn, the very bottom that unscrews from the bottle and a little further up thats part of the nozzle. It should turn slightly to one side and pop up fully extended

you pull the bottom part to the side a little (right from where it connects to the top part). got it? it took me slight effort to figure it out.

The end pieces move up and they can be used as stops, but I find they are a bit "wiggly" and seem cheaply constructed. I do not rely totally on them for stops; I clamp a piece of wood to the arm and make it as firm as possible. Maybe the one I got is not as well built as the ones used by the authors of the other two answers.

You might need to lower the strings. If too high, one or some might not be exact when holding down all.

I also found this strange, but the wire-based supports on the side do extend out. You just need to gently-yet-forcefully pull them out. At least that's how I got mine to adjust.

When there is a fish on the line it tugs the end without the flotation and makes it stand up... thanks!

I'm not sure why they show it this way. I hang mine over the top of the curved part with the open ends hanging down. It snaps into the ends of the curved part of the hanger so it doesn't slip off. I like mine. It works well for drying after I wash it. I like the plugs too. They keep the tube full of cleaning solution to soak the tube when I am washing it. I hope that helps.
