If you are using super glue in that way in any but the very rare occasions perhaps you should keep a squeeze bottle of saline handy to irrigate the wound before you seal in the bacteria and debris.

As for quick fixes don't forget the paracord, the modern baling twine substitute.

Both WD 40 and Duct tape would be on a short list of things that are capable of making quick temporary repairs to any number of things that break, bind or fail...often when the ONLY proper "fix" is by new replacement part(s)...which may or may not be available with a possible delay...

IMO, Anyone...whether they consider themselves to be handy or mechanically inclined or not they are wise to have both handy...just plain stupid not to...

BTW...It was a good thing for the crew of Apollo 13 that the engineers at NASA had the insight to include a roll of duct tape in the emergency wares kit...

And one more thing I'll add to the short list...Super Glue...In many cases it can save you big $ and a trip to the ER to get sewed up...!

I never said anything about temporary repairs, or emergencies.

I was clear, I am talking about doing a proper repair.

No service manual, service bulletin, or certification class, and I have read, or been to countless ones, in more than 4 decades, has EVER mentioned duct tape, or WD-40 as the way to make a repair. Because it's not.

That should be obvious to anyone.

This thread has nothing to do with certified repairs.

Totally....

Also works good on outdoor GFIC outlets that are prone to dampness trips...

In Ontario receptacles dedicated to block heater useage do not have to be GFI.
