?ÿNice, But not necessarily a north/south distinction as in the immortal words of Red Green, " If the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy" . . and while doing, don't spare the duct tape. ??ÿ

Who first decided duck's needed their own special brand of tape?

Pieces cut from gunny sacks and tire tubes plus lengths of baling wire can fix most things.

I was inspecting a large diameter sanitary outfall project some years back.?ÿ An arterial road was to be crossed by the new line and it was decided to open cut the road instead of boring.?ÿ The 'hitch' in the plan was that the older outfall line would need to be removed in the crossing due to alignment issues.?ÿ The contractor decided to attempt the cut at night (due to lower flows) and?ÿby-pass pump from MH to MH to accomplish the task.?ÿ

Everything went well until the 8" pvc line carrying the bypass developed several leaks, spilling influent on the roadway and not only making things generally disgusting; it threatened to scuttle the crossing attempt.?ÿ Trying to find that many 8" Fernco clamps at 2 AM was out of the question.?ÿ The leaks were quickly rectified with the "inner tube and bailing wire" you've mentioned.

Necessity is truly the mother of invention.

Spelling police:?ÿ ducks ?ÿ ?ÿ No apostrophe on plurals.

It used to be duct tape.?ÿ Then somebody got the idea of rebranding it.

I don't use it for anything that I may ever want to clean up.?ÿ Nasty stuff.?ÿ

For important and less permanent taping I use theatrical gaffer tape.?ÿ Expensive, but easy to work with and clean up after.?ÿ I use it where the plastic clips have broken off the Christmas lights we put on the garage gutter, applied in November and removed with little residue typically in February.

In the long-forgotten world of 20th. century motorcycle enthusiasts duct tape was more commonly known as "racing tape".?ÿ No self respecting flat-tracker ever wore leathers or track boots that didn't?ÿsport at least a few square feet of the material...with even more usually on the scooter itself.
