Before I apply the patch, I heat my arm up with a hair dryer. After I get the patch in place I then apply warm air from the hair dryer directly to the patch. It makes the patch much more pliable and seems to activate the adhesive better.

TimRobo my friend ..... it works!! :-)
I actually go a couple of steps further as I was breaking out with a bad rash. I use a cotton swab and wash down the area really well with rubbing alchol first, put on the patch as best I can, then heat it well with a hair dryer doing the 30-60 second press in place afterwards.
All of the above is strictly against all manufactures instructions but it's the only way I can get them to stay on and like you I have not had any adverse reactions nor rashes since.
Seems the material they use is too heavy duty or something. Thank you so very much for the idea! It seems to be working very well.
Yours in pain and not addiction .......
