HOW TO- Make A Tape Grip


Do you have a rip that just won’t go away? Does it burn when it touches the bar? If so, we are here to help! The magic is in the tape grip. Below are instructions to creating a tape grip and helping ease the pain of the blister.


-Rip off a piece of tape twice the size of your palm.
- Fold the tape over long ways hiding the sticky side. Now it should be half the size crossways.
-Fold the top part of the tape over in a half circle so that the top edge is in line with the bottom part.
-Now you should have created a loophole.
-Place a piece of tape over the folded tape, leaving the loop open for your finger.
-Flip over and do the same on the other side.
-Then use the tape to fasten the tape grip to the wrist. Wrap the tape around a few times to make sure it is secure.
-Test it out. Make any adjustments to length, etc. if needed.

This tape has a lot of purpose. Even I haven't try to use this, I know that this is really effective. Thanks also for informing us about this.
