StonGard

[Phil Rose]

With  StonGard's headlight film, once it touches it stays put. I
wouldn't be surprised if 3M makes two versions of the film. One with
a solvent-activated adhesive probably allows for doing a bit of
repositioning, which I suppose might be quite useful/necessary for
covering large areas, as in the bra applications.
