No problem. Go to the drug store and buy some Breathe Right Strips (
http://www.breatheright.com/ ). They have a special medical adhesive that
is designed for this exact purpose (sticks a plastic strip to your face).
Cut them up and use whatever adhesive you want to fix their non medical
side to your parts, and then just press in place.
