Does no-one use collodion any more? does the same job but costs less than £5 a 100ml bottle? I get mine from Tescos pharmacy dept(Walmart for US maybe?)
Also marketed as 'Liquid Skin'

if you know any A&E nurses you may get it cheaper still. Just pour on a reasonable amount, lay a piece of muslin or cheesecloth on top to give a grip when set, and peel it off once set. Never had a problem.
