That's just toilet paper...

I did use duct tape to fix my car though.

It had rusted out around the gas cap so I had duct taped it back together. My drivers side door handle was also suffering from a little rust problem... which was easily fixed with duct tape. It was pretty sad. I couldn't lock the door because of the rust but you also couldn't open the door without playing with the entire door. :D

I seen some of that stuff on the wing of the 747 I was in. Before I knew it was 100 mile an hour tape I just thought someone used duct tape. And that made the entire flight a little scary :D

Duck (duct) tape is an essential requirment in any household - its currently holding my bed together.

Epoxy glue (Areldite) and epoxy putty are also very useful.


PS: I never understood people who put duct tape on their guitars - get some proper straplocks :rolleyes:

Yeah :mad:

Jeff Buckley had his Rickenbacker duct taped...quality guitarist, beautiful guitar but why the duct tape?
