University project with industry partner, Selleys.
We were required to design a product that encourages the use of Selleys glues.
As a rock climber I noticed that super glue and finger tape were often used together to patch up cuts on the hands from climbing. For most climbers their harness is their backpack. A carabiner is often thread through the tape and attached to a harness. I wandered if super glue could also be carried on the harness in set with the tape.
User testing
TaG (Tape and Glue) is designed for rock climbers. It is a light weight device that holds different objects needed by the climber to protect their hands, this being super glue and finger tape. With convenience in mind, it is light enough to be carried all day and has the ability to attach to the climbers harness. The product makes carrying these important items easier for professional climbers. It also provides an easier solution for hand safety to the average climber who is not confident using their house hold super glue on their hands.
