* Cut the folds away, leaving a smooth covering.
* Dust in powder so the excess adhesive does not stick to the socks.
* If Injinji socks are not used, then the tape may rub on the next toe. It may be possible to cover part of the next toe with tape to prevent this, rather than taping every toe. <gallery widths=300px heights=200px caption="Taping a partly blistered toe">File:IMG 0106.JPG|Apply the adhesive promoter to the good skin.File:IMG 0107.JPG|Carefully wrap the toe in the tape.File:IMG 0108.JPG|After the first wrap, you should end up with a cylinder of tape, ready for the next stage.File:IMG 0109.JPG|Gently pinch the ends of the cylinder of tape together to cover the end of the toe.
