Amazing!

For the younger crowd - there are about three grades of duct tape. Some really cheap stuff for the dollar stores - don't even waste a dollar on that stuff; some so-called "professional" grades sold at Lowes and Home Depot - ok for most uses; and real professional grade with better fabric and far better glue - use that on your bear molested airplane.

I paid a few bucks more and got a great one that has a working temp of -10C. Worth every penny.

I love Red Green! It's one of the few shows I miss now that I have no TV. Is that still on the air, or is it in syndication now?

My cousin told me about 300 mph duct tape, Nashua 357. He was out at Bonneville, and someone had to tape down a body panel. He then proceeded to challenge a land-speed record, and the tape held!

Keep you stick out of the ice...

If it should move but doesn't, WD40

If it moves and it shouldn't, Duct Tape.

if women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy!

I was introduced to foil tape when I got into HVAC. That stuff is awesome! I have rolls of it scattered all over the house.
