Subj: [kl] sore lip
Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2003 22:31:33 -0500
I just use a piece of white florist's tape, between 2-3 inches long. Fold it in half, pull on the ends to stretch it a little (this makes the pieces stick together better), then fold it again and stretch it again. Then mold it over your teeth. You can make the strip longer and fold it more times if you need it to be thicker.
