Gutter,

Please clarify what you are talking about.

I have to ask, just what is duct tape?…just kidding. But that is a question I received a couple of months ago when I was mentioning it. I’m trying Gorilla tape (I love it…now if it could cook) on my planters wart.

Burdock,

You mean you didnt see the Mythbuster show on the origins of Duct Tape? That was a good one!

I suppose duct tape can be made into a lot of things.

1) Boat Repair
2) Make a boat out of it
3) make a canon out of it
4) Pick up a car with it (for a while anyways)
5) Keep someone quiet .... hmmmmmm

But please, if you have insurance, see the doctor to remove that nasty wart.

I've seen some gal with a purse made from different colors of duct tape that someone made. I think the guy that made it wasn't going to stop with purses. I don't know if he was going to do wallets too.

would you like a camo duct tape wallet.... anyone?

I have been to the doctor for at least 3 times now to spray that damn planters wart with out any luck. I’m not sure that I saw the myth busters on the origin…sounds like some military product?

I’m glad the Gorilla type duct tape has come out, because in some incidents I thought the duct tape failed.

Must be made in Canada.

i was hoping somneone would bring up red green. he's one of our most successful exports!

i'm a man.
but i can change,
if i have to,

Does anyone know a source for 1" width (24 mm) 100 mph tape
"Duct tape" I have found the gorilla tape in a 1" width but I am looking for OD green 100 mph tape in 1" width.

Has anyone had any luck cutting a 2" roll in half?

Seems too sticky to do that reliably....

i swear by gorilla tape. I got a 13' kayak from a guy for $10 beacuse it had a 1' long crack in the top. The kayak was white so on the way home i stopped at ace and grabbed some camo spraypaint and gorillia tape. Went home and used the tape to patch the crack and then did cool camo job on it, never tell it was damaged. i use it in the ocean and i've never had the tape peel or leak.

How long has it been on there? They say duct tape works great as a temporary patch, but I cant imagine the natural rubber adhesive staying sticky forever ....

my experience with gorilla tape is that it's considerably more expensive then standard duct tape. has anyone else had this experience, and if so, is the gorilla tape worth the extra cost

I wrap duct tape on those fake credit cards you get in the mail to put in my bags. Works great, and really cuts down on wasted space.

definitely worth it, you can tape a cinder block to the wall with that stuff!
downsides, leaves quite the sticky residue, and is much thicker than regular duct tape so the same size roll has much less length.
