For those you use rigid finger tape, just wondering if there is a cheap source of rigid finger tape that you have come across can be maybe also purchased in bulk.
I currently get this from chemist warehouse:
http://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/53070/Body-Plus-1403-Rigid-Tape-5-0cm-x-13-7m and cut it in half with a stanley knife. So it ends up at $6.50 per 13m roll.
Even on ebay - does not seem to be that much cheaper.
Anyone have a good source?
Cheers,
John K.

Rigid - unable to bend or be forced out of shape; not flexible.
Never seen rigid tape..

I got a few rolls of the good stuff from a podiatrist once. That bodyplus stuff is crap anyway - it smells like dettol and tears so easily that I have twice had the bit holding my gloves around the wrist tear off and was faced with a flapping glove mid crux. I just cough up for elastoplast stuff in the supermarket. At least it's good.

Does taping up with double runs of the cheapo stuff work?

Hah, yup the tape we use is quite good. I was told by the physio to tape my ankle for a while and received a few rolls of awesome tape that never made it onto my ankle. Oddly enough I think some of it made it to PI's and BigChris's ...

Yea, I made a trip to Melton to ensure I was well stocked in Chamonix. Good stuff. Pretty much all gone now. Hey Mikey, aren't you due for another soft tissue injury some time soon?
