no big deal so long as the tape wasn’t lifting up on an edge, which it probably was in this case.

I used duct tape to fix a leak on a ten foot aluminum boat once.

It started leaking, we figured were, got to shore and flipped the thing over.

sure enough there was a hole. Taped it over it a couple three times and dropped it back in the water.

My friend started jumping up and down in the boat to test it yelling “Thar she blows! To Davies Locker with y’all!”.

My brother and I hopped in and we spent the afternoon fishing.

Favorite fishing hole and nothing was going to stop us.

I think we left it in that condition for three or four more trips and they fixed it.

I use the stuff for hot spots on my feet and ankle when I hike or snowboard. Better than mole skin as it creates a slippery surface for your socks and boots to mover over.

Recently I have been using the stuff for a shoulder injury.

I put on a Tiger Balm patch and to keep in place I tape a lateral edge on the top of the bandage so my shirt won’t catch it and lift it off. Then I tape an x pattern so I can move my shoulder in any direction and it keeps the patch on all day long.

Most excellent...and you’re right about it being an super substitute for mole skin ...a must in any backpack.
