HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
You should expect it to withstand the heat of competition but will be ripped when you remove any strapping tape above, so can only be used once. It’s water-repellent,but not waterproof.
OUR TOP TAPING TIPS
GET THIS RIGHT
- Clean and dry the area before application. Moisturizers and oils are a tape’s worst nightmare.
- Apply Pre-Tape Spray, then Fixation Tape, then Zinc Oxide Tape. All together is a winning combo for a long-lasting application.
- Have a play. Practise your application and don’t be afraid to adjust it to suit your needs.
- Give yourself time. Apply the tape 15–30 mins before the action starts, or before you apply any chalk.
REMOVAL
UNDERWRAP will come away as you remove the layers of strapping tape above.
Please take care when removing any adhesive tape. Never rip away from the
skin. Keep the skin taut and peel away slowly.
Use tape remover or oils if necessary
