1. Repairing a cracked water bottle or a pierced hydration bladder. A little strip of DT is the next best thing to a bandage for an ailing water vessel. Just dry the surface before you try to tape your patch in place, most forms of duct tape don’t stick to wet surfaces.
2. Survival arrow fletching. Tear off a few 5-inch pieces, and a long edge of one piece to the arrow shaft, fold the tape lengthwise, and stick the other long edge of that piece to the arrow. Repeat this process one or two more times; trim the vanes to shape with your knife; and you will have a serviceable arrow fletching. 3. Butterfly bandage strips. Cut two small strips of DT, and add a smaller strip across their centers (sticky side to sticky side) to create a makeshift butterfly suture. 4. Make cordage. Twist one or several lengths of duct tape into a cord or rope.

I have a duct tape wallet. The chicks dig it. Until they find out it’s empty.
At my daughter’s wedding, the Best Man rented a tux and the pants legs were too long, so we hemmed them with duct tape.
Ummm... Which part? The residue, the delay, or the worsening?
Or is it a three-fer?

I just had a sick vision of taping someone’s head like a turban, that would hurt on removal.

Duct Tape is OK, but EB Green is meaner than cat ****!!
I used it to fix rain coats temporarily. That’s about all it’s good for.
The sticky residue cleans off quickly and easily with a spray of WD40. The solvent nature of that product softens and dissolves glues, like the labels attached to glass jars which you want to reuse.
I used it to get a deflated truck tire back on a rim at 2AM. Pushed tire in to seal along inner rim, used duct tape to temporarily close the gap between tire and outer rim. Add air from *big* commercial compressor (able to deliver a lot of air fast) and viola...
200 mph tape!
Hey! Great idea!.....I admit I’m a duck tape user. Works great positioning pictures you’re hanging. Also putting together a temporary kitty shelter.....and the list goes on.
Thanks for hint!
Gorilla tape is pricey, but it is what duct tape wanted to be when it grew up!
Holy carp! GMTA!
I posted before I read your comment.
Just never use it on an actual duct....
Anything for you, m’Lady. Finished the move yet?
I prefer ‘De-solv-it’ for household use, although I am not a fan of WD-40, I do use it for cleaning things around the truck when I am out and about, including my hands sometimes.
