We found it was easiest to apply the spirit gum while the ear tip was in place on the ear. We applied spirit gum to most of the lower front of the ear tip. A little goes a long way.

After applying the spirit gum, you have to wait for about a minute for the spirit gum to get tacky. If you try to press the spirit gum in place before it's ready, it won't hold at all. But no harm done. Just wait longer.
You can test the tackiness of the spirit gum with your finger tip. Just slide it under and see if it's sticky.

Once the spirit gum is tacky, press the ear tip to the ear and hold firmly for about fifteen seconds.

If your ear has been well trimmed, and you've got the right amount of spirit gum, your ear should look close to perfect already. Some ears are harder to fit than others. That's what liquid latex is for.
