Anyone tried using kinseology tape on hands for jamming cracks.

I ran across some tape from rocktape.com that has a rubber feel to it and looks like it might be ideal for hand jamming but the stuff is $20 per role.

There are some cheaper brands of kinseology tape from KT Tape and mueller that I was thinking of trying also.

Just wondering if anyone else thought of this first and has already tried it.

Try it out! Maybe it's the ticket for tight hands.

My concerns aside from the really really high price would it may be way too tight since it stretches and athletic tape technially doesn't

What's the goal here?

Stickier tape?

If you're going to do the rubber tape, might as well use hand jammies. "Shoes on your hands"

You could spray on some Plasti Dip instead.
