Mueller Tuffner Pre-Tape Adherent Spray

Mueller Tuffner Pre-Tape Adherent Spray

Brilliant Pre Tape Adherent, if you're taping athletes who are performing in endurance events, swimming etc or anything which causes a lot of sweat this spray is perfect. There's nothing worse than taping moving about or coming loose half way into the activity and this really helps keep the tape where it needs to be. Highly reccomend.

Mueller Tuffner Pre-Tape Adherent Spray 283g

I have struggled with different ktapes to make them stick when i play football. I have itb syndrome and the tape definitely helps. Unfortunately some come off easy. Mueller tend to be the best i have tried so far in terms of ktape but i am currently using a different brand. I used this saturday and it help the tape on firmly. All i would suggest to anyone, is to cover the areas that doesn't need to be sprayed when you are spraying it on the required area, this is because it is very sticky and the hairs on my legs were stuck together and pulling etc. Would recommend using it

What a fantastic product, bought for my son who plays rugby who saw what the senior players use as line out support, really sticks well, textured cloth and much lower in price to the other branded products.

Rep recently gave me a sample to try on our line-out jumpers.
Was very good and we'll use this tape this season at the club.
Should save us a few quid too!!

Have always used physique products, there are cheaper versions of tiger tear tape out there, but none of them can match the quality or the great deals like 3 for 2.

Tiger K Tape 32m

Have tried the more expensive, pre cut brands and they aren't nearly as good as Tiger K. Stays well and truly stuck for almost a week and was recommended by a physiotherapist.

Tiger K Tape 32m

I have tried different tapes and finally I have found the best one. I am really pleased with the tiger tape - amazing product, clients are happy as it sticks well 1-2 weeks. I apply the Sports Cologne before though, for a better "stick". Happy customer. Aggie

Reply from Physique:
Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear you found the tape did not stick. The temperature the tape is kept in can often have an effect on the adhesive. Please can you try applying the tape after stored at room temperature. Also activating the tape by rubbing the taped area helps to warm the tape and increase adhesion.

If still not working to your requirements you can return at our cost for a refund.
