In another thread someone asked why duct tape is in such demand. Well, as my father always told me one of the most important things he learned from 37 years in the construction trade is that duct tape will fix anything! Here are some handy sites to help those out who do not know the wonder of the magical material:
The Duct Tape guys
Duct Tape fashion guide
The Duct Tape club

Happy taping!

It's right up there with the tek screw for the king of the temporary fixit jobs. I personally call it "hundred mile an hour tape". Beautiful stuff.

I was hearing something about how duct tape and alluminum foil was supposed to protect you from terrorist poison gas. I think that is downright hilarious.

Yea Az, you wrap it around your nose and mouth so you pass out before the gas get's you ;) hehehe

I have used the tape to fix a blown radiator hose, but it doesnt do well with gasoline ;)

MacGyver. No one ever spells that correctly, and it annoys me.

Well, first it was plastic sheeting.

Second if terrorists releace a dirty bomb, or a biological weapon in a city, there is likely to be some distance d away from the exposion where the people who do nothing suffer more serious injury then the people who try to seal up their place of residence.
