How to Post Ears

   1.   Use Poly Foam Caulk Saver (tubular)  1/2"
         Put the caulk in the base of the ear to the
         tip of the ear and allow for 1/2" to extend
         beyond the tip of the ear.    If using Tampons
         use Tampax (cardboard, not plastic).  You can
         use it the same way as you use the caulk.

                       2.  After cutting the size caulking, cut small pieces of "duct" tape
                        to wrap around the caulk to make the caulking stiff so it
                        supports the ear.    (see below)  If using tampons, measure the tampon
                             to the ear, tape tampon in the middle so that it stays in place, then skip
                        and go to #5.
                      

3.  Take the cut pieces of "duct" tape and wrap separately, piece
      by piece so that there are no wrinkles in the tape.   

                             4.  Roll the "duct" tape onto the caulk until the whole caulking is covered.
                               Make sure you keep the caulking straight when preparing it with the duct tape.

           5.  Take white Curity or Johnson & Johnson (Porous Tape)
                  and back tape with sticky side out, starting from the
                  top of the posts.

                             6.  Cut three sizes of tape, (from left to right) 2 short pieces to wrap around the
                                         middle of the ear, 2 middle size pieces to tape to the outside of the ear and over
                                         the top, and 2 pieces for the base of the ear.

          7.  Take the post and insert deeply in the ear,
              while pushing down on the post and pulling up
              on the tip of the ear making sure the post is in
              the base of the ear canal. 

  8.  Take the middle size piece of tape and place the tape,
         long ways, from the middle of the ear to the
         top capturing the tip and bringing the tape up and over
         to the other side and onto the sticky side of the post.   

                                

                                                                                       9.  Stick the take to the sticky side
                                                                                                           of the post and mold to the post.

10.  Take the longer piece of tape, pull up
on the ear and tape around the base of the ear.

                                                          11.  Take the smaller size piece of tape and  tape around
                                                                  the middle of the ear capturing the strip of tape on
                                                                                on the outside of the ear.

12.  Take a real long piece and starting from the rear of the
     ear, wrap around the back, towards the base of the ear to
the from of the ear across the top of the head to the
      other ear, to make the brace.
