    The nuclear product says; Polyken 226 also has superior tack and adheres tightly to many surfaces. It has multiple uses in power plants and ships. Somehow in my minds eye, I imagine the engineer on a carrier tapping a hole in the reactor vessel with this tape. Of course that would be ridiculous.:suss:

      One needs only two items to fix things. If it moves and it's not suppose to - use duct tape! If it does not move and suppose to - use WD40!

        Well of course it is, that would require something more sturdy, like cardboard and superglue.

          For an article written with California on it, I can't believe they blundered when they equated "duct tape" with "gaffer tape". The two are most definitely different. Gaffer tape uses a less sticky/gooey adhesive and can be torn quite easily. Am I the only male who doesn't like duct tape? Cleaning off the goo when its removed is just too annoying.

            I read it to say that duct tape and gaffer tape were in the same general group (cloth-backed, rubber-adhesive tape) and not equivalent.

              That's not usually the male's complaint... Duct tape is one of the basic elements of the universe, and it's often our best defense against unrestrained entropy. :-D

                  Ah, see... you don't remove it. When it starts to wear, you just put fresh duct tape over the top... :-\

                    The answer to removing the goo is to use that other essential - WD40!

                          I carry some in the cargo bag of my bike for long rides. I actually used some this last trip. The cargo rack bolt protrudes out to the side a little too far, and my leg would brush against it on the downstroke. A little duct tape, and voila! Now my leg slides over it :cool:.

                                          I wonder what grade 200mph tape is. That's the stuff used by NASCAR.

                                          "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit..." "There is no one who loves pain itself, who seeks after it and wants to have it, simply because it is pain..."
