I have discovered the best blister-beater ever: kinesiology tape. It’s the stuff all over the shoulders of U.S. Olympic volleyball players. I use it for various muscle aches and pains, but I’ve found that it protects blistering areas like nothing else. When cut to fit, even between your fingers or around your heel, it stays on for days. Keep a roll in your truck, and tape a greenhorn’s hands before he slows and needs time for his hands to heal.
