I third the duct tape. I saw it on EcoChallenge, and those people are blister experts.
Further, on a particularly arduous three-day hike, I got significant blisters on the FIRST DAY. I applied duct tape and I have no doubt that it totally saved my feet. However, if you put the tape over a place that is already blistered, it's guaranteed that at least one layer of skin is coming off with the tape.
Oh, and one last thing... Because of the perspiration on your skin, there's a slim possiblilty it may slide a bit. To make sure this doesn't happen, wrap the duct tape completely around the affected area and adhere it to itself. Duct tape sticks to itself very well.
"If you can't duct it, fuck it!"
