Is duct tape doomed?
Saw this recently. Said to be 100 times stronger than duct tape.
Not cheap at $6 for 40 inches. "...But the real catch is that while it's non-toxic, you'll want to avoid getting that resin on your skin or clothes because it's not coming off easily. So for kidnappings and hostage situations, duct tape is definitely still the way to go." http://gizmodo.com/new-instant-fix-fabric-is-100x-stronger-than-duct-tape-1454006677 Some videos he guy cuts his water supply line on purpose and fixes it ... http://www.youtube.com/user/fiberfixusa |

I'm still mad at NASA for pretending a guy in astronaut gloves could get duck tape off the roll or that it would work in an environment where fenders were either oven hot or colder than a freezer. When Gene Cernan was ordered to film the product placement, he called it "that gray American tape." He knew it wasn't real duct tape. The guy who had recently bought the biggest producer of duck tape enjoyed an explosion in sales. I wonder if he was a friend of Nixon. |

Is duct tape doomed? Are you?
Oren posted for all of us...
And I know how to SNIP "...But the real catch is that while it's non-toxic, you'll want to avoid getting that resin on your skin or clothes because it's not coming off easily. So for kidnappings and hostage situations, duct tape is definitely still the way to go." Depends on whether you are the actor or victim! 8~( -- Tekkie |
