Opsite or Tegaderm

I have tried using Tegaderm by 3M to cover a completed design with
very favorable results. It is an extremely thin type of breathable
bandage used in the medical field to place over I.V.'s in hospitals.
When I did henna on a man he gave me this to use over his design (he
is a nurse). I was impressed so I researched it and found it at a
local medical supply store. I bought the Tegaderm which is cheaper
than Opsite but the same stuff. It cost $60.00 for a box of 100
pieces (2 3/8" X 4"). I tried it out last night on a palm design. The
piece fit perfectly and in the morning I removed it and it still
clung quite well. It been on there for 10 hours.
