I started using New Skin brand of liquid bandage in 1990. It was great, dried quick and stayed waterproof. I bought some last year now and it's been a disappointment. I think they changed the formula. It takes forever to dry and even two coats don't stay on long.
I just bought the Walmart Equate version to test. It has 2 active ingredients. New Skin has only one. I tested it on a piece of cardboard next to the New Skin. Wow, the Equate version dry's quicker than the New Skin.
Today I got a deep cut and my finger. The Equate version really works. Even better than the 1990s formula of new skin. Sometimes you've got to test products and you don't always necessarily get what you pay for. The Equate brand costs less than New Skin !
