=Blister Supplies=
This The images below are from my supplies for taping and blister fixing. If you need to assemble a smaller kit, here are my recommendations for the bare minimum, in order of importance:* '''Leukotape P'''. If I could only have one type of tape, it would be this one. * '''Scissors'''. If you're just cutting the tape, most scissors will work fine. If you are using them to pop a blister then they need to be small and sharp. * '''Alcohol Swabs'''. Cleaning the area before taping is important, and if you have to pop a list blister, then it's vital. You can use some kitchen roll (or gauze) and rubbing alcohol instead. * '''Adhesive promoter.''' You can get away without this, but it can make a big difference to how well the tape sticks. If you do use adhesive promoter, then you need a small makeup brush to apply it and some powder so it does not stick to the socks. Any type of powder will work, including talcum or baby powder. Tincture of supplies Benzoin (friar's balsom) is the cheapest option.* '''Hypodermic needles'''. I find these needles are so much better for treating blisterspopping a blister than scissors, but they are harder to get hold of. You will probably have to mail order them; as pharmacists don't like to sell hypodermics to people that don't have a prescription to justify their use. I get mine from [http://www.allegromedical.com Allegro Medical].
