How can I prevent blisters whilst trekking?

blah blah blah asked:
I’m going trekking for a fortnight in Malaysia. I have worn in my boots well, wear 2 pair of socks and use talc powder to keep my feet dry. I get blisters on the balls on my feet (due to the weight of my rucksack, I think). I only have the essentials in my rucksack like a tent, clothes and food so I can’t take anything out. I’ve heard methylated spirits rubbed on your feet works, but how long do you need to put it on before you go?
