Why does it bleed so badly when I change the dressing? I apply the gel to a non stick pad and wrap his Hock with flextape.

I think you should apply it directly to the wound, then blow on it until it dries, then wrap it. Then it shouldn't do that.

I did not apply a pad to the gel....I used it to seal the wound long enough to get to the vet. It did a wonderful job and I would not hesitate to use it again, in emergency. For your pet, I don't know the extent of the wound or the reason for bleeding, but please take him/her to the vet as soon as possible. This gel is a temp fix. It is very sticky, like glue, and you may be aggravating the wound each time you redress. Please note how much blood he/she has lost and check for emergency clinic need. Better safe than sorry.

I don't know the extent of the injury but I applied quite a lot of the gel directly to the wound and it helped the bleeding.

This gel hardens into a protective barrier like a scab. It isn't meant to be applied with a dressing. If you are applying it to the dressing it is ripping of the "scab" when you change the dressing hens the bleeding. Apply the gel directly to the area. Once it dries you can add a dressing if you really feel that you must.

Would recommend taking pet to see a vet. EMT Gel is designed for surface wounds, not deep cuts.......

I'm confused by the gel. The gel that came with mine is soft and sticky. The ants just get stuck in it and die. I seem to remember having one of these before and the gel was solid. What I have is so soft that it's impossible to tunnel and my ants get stuck in the goop and die.

Pain is relative. It stings bare skin but does not leave a mark like a real paint ball marker does. the more layers of clothing the less it smarts.It washed out of everything i got it on and off skin/fence with out any issues.

I was confused by this too, but it just means that these Gel base and top coats need to be soaked off. Use a cotton ball with pure acetone then wrap with a square of tin foil and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. That is how I was taught. I do know that they do make kits like "BMC UV Gel Nail Art Polish Acrylic Aluminum Nail Wrap Soaking Pad Remover Kit" but it is less expensive to just use acetone and tin foil. Do a search for the kit here on Amazon.

I did - and didn't have any issues with irritation. My only compliant is with the bottle...the gel coagulates and a ball of gel comes...

The reaction happens with certain lacquer finishes when in contact with rubber, this is something more to do with the finish on your instrument than it is the capo. However, Im sorry to hear of the issue, try replacing the rubber with a foam or another material for padding, or purchase another capo that uses something other than rubber for padding. Best of luck!

Not really, washing it with cold water and sulphate free shampoo will help, but it still bleeds

I can't used them continually, as the adhesive tends to pull off the outer dermal layer. My skin gets red in the shape of the strip and gets tender. It could be that I have an allergy to the adhesive.

Am not sure. Is that a brand or a color. I know that The nail tech and another one who uses it or a similar one to cure several brands of Gel polish that we have in the shop have had no problem with it/them. Barbara

It is just for one time use. You might also want to look into Israeli military wound dressing; those Israeli ones come with bandage. Not this quick lot. Not sure Israeli ones say they clot/stop bleeding but having quicklot pad with no bandage feels like only halfway ready.

Your doctor or nurse should tell you because different wounds need different care. That said, I changed mine twice weekly and it was still adhering fine. It also peeled off easily without pulling my skin.

I've never personally experienced pain nor heat from using this product, but my skin is incredibly resilient (I'm olive and oily and never sunburn). My best guess is that your skin is far more sensitive than mine and perhaps you're letting the gel dry too long and therefore rubbing harder to get it off. The added friction would produce heat and probably some skin sensitivity, too, so rubbing it off sooner or re-wetting if it's dried too long may help. And, if you really just have fair, sensitive skin, this product may just be too harsh an exfoliant for you. Best of luck.

I found that if the pads are not making sticking great you get a shock. When that starts I usually tape them down with medical tape (I use the type for sensitive skin). This has caused me to look for better pads. I found healthmateforever are better than no name

Nope, no bleeding. It looks scary, but it actually feels good. Initially I used the roller with a bit too much enthusiasm (too many passes over sensitive skin and too much pressure), the result was red scratches the next day, but it didn't hurt or bleed.

I agree with what the other people have written. I just want to add that gel polish makers are starting to put kits out for sale to remove the gel. It's the same stuff, just more convenient. Putting the cotton pads and foil on is the best method IMHO. I didn't have as much success with the acetone in a bowl
