The last time I was at Sky Manor, I took a walk up along the runway, to the end of seven. Along the way, I noted this...

Hurrah for duct tape! Grin

Doesn't look like it's holding it very well... duct tape is crap.
Unless you're actually taping flexible duct together; it's quite good for that.

Gaffer tape, however, rules.

With a roll of duct tape you too can become a MacGyver!! Wink

We called it 100 MPH tape. It a quick fix for the body parts on a race car during a race!!

When I was in the auto parts business I would have people come in and ask for Duck Tape!! Grin

One of the greatest inventions ever made!!

Hell, it also can be a babysitter if you need one!! A few years back we had a woman or a man ( can't remember which) in NJ duct tape they're kids to a crib while they went out!! Roll Eyes
