    Liquid Bandage vs Tape??!! Advice needed!
    So my little egg is developing this bump (31 days through incubation) and the bump is leaking this clear liquid. It's not a big bump, just kinda a little one on the side it's growing on.

    I decided to put liquid bandaid on it, but we went to 4 stores tonight and they don't sell liquid Band-aid brand bandage it seems. They have this stuff called New-Skin liquid bandage, but I wasn't sure if it was safe, so I wanted to ask first before I do something I'll regret later!

    Ingredients:

    8-hydroxyquinoline 1% --- antiseptic
    alcohol 6.7%
    oil of cloves
    pyroxylin solution

    If this mix isn't safe to put over the bump I was thinking of some clear bandage tape like in a first aid kit.

    Is the New-Skin liquid bandage safe to use?

    Thanks! Help is GREATLY appreciated as I do not want to hurt my one and only little egg! :( <3 :please::please::please:

    same stuff I used, or you could try the tape with a little piece of paper towel (make shift band-aid)

    Stumped my big toe pretty good last weekend, the tip bent right back. I could have used stitches but refused to go to the hospital. Crazy glue held everything in place pretty decent.
    I've heard nail polish works well on eggs;)

    Someone told me to use the sticky part of a band-aid so that's what I ended up doing. Dried it off and stuck it on gently, makin sure it was stuck.

    Ended up candling it too since I was in there, lil one was twichin away in there :) <3 <3 ... 30 more days and I get to see meet him/her! :) So excited!

    Good luck with that. I will remember that technique if I run into that problem ever. Let us know how the little one hatches out.
