Duct Tape today, then tomorrow, who knows. Maybe Scotch brand magic tape.

They're already starting to sell "cut" ductape; buying a full
width roll and slicing it into 2, maybe 3 narrower rolls,
selling short rolls, and all manner of underhaded dealing.
Near as I can figure the US military will be the only ones
to get a roll of the real sticky stuff 2 inches wide or more.
The rest of us will end up with molasses-and mucilage based
contraband that has to be licked before using.

I sure hope there are not any politicians reading this site. Just think if he were to propose brilliant legislation like this he could be president in a couple years.

Without Duct Tape how will I ever get my tractor up to 100 MPH?

Safety! It's all about safety! My kids have known since they were young that if they see some duct tape just lying around in the open, say at a neighbor's house, that they are to follow the rules they learned in the Dilbert Duck(t) program:

1. Don't touch it!
2. Leave the room!
3. Tell an adult!

We have made it a point to also teach them the rest of the Tape Safety Rules, as we all should follow.

1. Always keep the tape pointed in a safe direction.
2. Always keep your finger off the tape end until ready to peel and apply.
3. Always keep the tape on the roll until ready to use.
4. Know your target and what is beyond.
5. Be sure the tape is safe to operate.
6. Know how to use the tape safely.
7. Use only the correct tape for your project.
8. Wear eye and ear protection as appropriate.
9. Never use alcohol or over-the-counter, prescription or other drugs before or while taping.
10. Store tape so it is not accessible to unauthorized persons.


The most recent Lott report states that there are an estimated 2 million embarrassing moments prevented by the display and use of duct tape in the nation (Harv included - notice we see no reverse shot).

Believe me, knucklehead, nobody wants to see that. With or without duct tape. /w3tcompact/icons/tongue.gif

I need to find a source for duct tape looking stuff we used to get. This tape was used to patch cargo containers when they had holes punched in them from forks and things while loaded. It was OD green and you durn near needed a hammer and chisel to get it off. The only way I knew of to get it was steal it from the Port of Oakland when I was hauling containerized freight. I sure would like to get some more. It's good for " permanent" repairs.

without duct tape the RED/GREEN show would be gone. we can't let that happen.

We should regulate duct tape with a new Federal Agency.
After all, "It's for the children!"
