[at-l] Duct tape

Although I did skip the group hike on Sat. afternoon at Pine Grove,
I did manage to raise a hot spot.  Since I arrived at PG early,
I started out on a stroll to let the dogs burn off some steam.  But
the sun was threathening to push through the clouds and the area was
rich in critter tracks so we just kept tromping about in the snow.
Problem was I didn't take a minute to change into proper socks
and after a hour or so, I developed a hot spot.  And since I didn't
think I'd be gone long, I didn't bring a day pack so I had no remedy.
I didn't grow a full blown blister, but close..
My 'trouble' spot is the ball of my foot my foot and while molefoam
helps, it curls where my toes curl and I've actually gotten tiny
blisters
on the bottom of toes from the moleskin.  Duct tape has been
recommended.
My question is, once I apply this stuff, how do I get it back off again.

Will it pull off and still leave my skin on my foot.  Or do you
generally
just have to wear it off.  Thanks in advance.  Kahley
