Sea Bond Secure Denture Adhesive Seals

I never post reviews but, in this case, I think I am performing a public service. I've been using Sea Bond for more than seven years but Sea Bond wafers did not work well for me until I hit upon this seemingly backward way of installing them. Done my way, you will actually have to pry your dentures out and you may find it difficult to remove the wafers because they are so tightly bonded to the plastic material. (Pro tip: use a sheet of paper towel to get a grip on the slippery used wafer.) The problem with Sea Bond wafers is that the instructions on the packaging are actually absolutely wrong if you want a nice tight, long-lasting grip for your dentures. Here's how I use them: 1. I cut the wafer to size making sure that the sides of the wafer come ALL THE WAY UP TO THE TOPS OF THE OUTER RIMS OF YOUR DENTURES BUT NO HIGHER when I press the wafer into the gum channel. (This may take some practice to get it right.) 2. Spray the PINK SIDE OF THE WAFER with a light mist of water and then put the wafer (pink side down) into the denture, making sure to press it down into the gum channel. This activates the adhesive more effectively than the method recommended by the manufacturer. Make sure there are no folds or bends in the material. 3. Next, spray the top of the wafer lightly, then insert the denture, seat it and bite down for at least 30 seconds. (One minute is better.) Now, if you have been wearing dentures for a while, you know all about gum recession. If you are not in a position to purchase a new denture, try using TWO wafers, one on top of the other. I've been doing this for more than two years now and the results have been very satisfactory. If you decide that you need to use two wafers, make sure that you line them up and cut them to size at the same time...and make sure that you give the upper wafer a good drenching before you insert the denture into your mouth. Note that this advice is based upon using the Sea Bond wafers for UPPER PLATES only. I don't have a lower plate but I don't see why method would not work for the lower plates as well. I hope this helps. If it does, drop me a line. If it doesn't, drop me a line anyway, I will try to help you figure out why it's not working. (In one case where this did not work, the user had very hard water.)
