Don't ask.

This could be interesting.

"Sewing machine? We don't need no stinkin' sewing machine...we have duct tape!!," my boys would say.

Duct tape, WD40 and a hammer; tighten it, loosen it, or smash it and buy a new one.

I've worked on tons of race cars over the years and I have never used duct tape for anything to do with cars or other fixtures. Found too many things that I thought worked better/were cheaper and some times were things I did not need to buy.

Put me down for a zero as I have never bought or used the stuff.

Lots of stuff. The last thing we ""mended"" with duct tape was the cover to our outdoor grill. DH has an old pair of garden shoes that need help. I wouldn't be surprised if he duct tapes them too. Never used it (yet) to hem a garment but there's still time.

.....to tape your ducts.

Mending a garden hose.

I had to wear a bandage on my leg and couldn't get it wet. Through trial and error duct tape was my savior. I placed a sandwich bag over the area and duct taped it on!! Not one drop of water leaked through and it didn't hurt to peel it off. I highly recommend it for medical purposes.

Decades ago DH duct tape on a plastic ash tray in the car that was broken. He also put some on the handles of a pair of small garden clippers for a better grip, it was a disaster when they got hot in the sun and that sticky stuff was all over your hands. I pitched them years ago and now use that set of small and large ratcheting shears from Q. BTW they are fabulous. (M22345)

I have a patio door insert dog door. It's so old they no longer make flaps for it so I buy whatever is available and make a "hinge" from duct tape. It will last up to six months, then I re-do it. I just bought some with pretty flowers on it but can't figure out where to use it. Any ideas?
