| The Wonderment of Duct Tape
OK so duct tape rules. Post your experiences with duct tape, in what kinds of situations have you employed its silvery goodness?

| One of the people at my wedding used duct tape to keep her shoes on.
Having no rope, I taped the trunk of my car shut once whilst it was full of lumber.
Taped wood together to hold it while glue dried because I didn't have enough clamps.
During a really bad rainstorm, used it at a friends' place to tape their basement drain so it didn't flood the basement. It worked splendidly, except that the toilet and shower weren't taped up...
Patched holes in a zillion things.
Taped a flashlight to my hat so I could use it hands-free.
Oh, where would we be without duct tape?

| i was at a fencing camp once and every night we would do "caught" doing something weird right when the person watching us would come in to tell us to go to sleep. but one time we just duct taped Luke to the wall, litterally suspended off the ground. Brian still made us go to bed, but left luke up there for almost an hour after the lights had been turned off. he only came to get him down when he realized that none of us could sleep, including him, if Luke wouldnt shut up and stop pleading for mercy. Luke was from jersey and hands down was the best person at swearing ive ever met. so the night was filled withh profanity. really really good profanity

| I had my entire upper body (save my arms) duct taped to make what was *supposed* to be the perfect form-fitting pattern for a medieval gown. Started out in a bra and old t-shirt, then had someone wrap me round and round in it till I was mummified. Then he drew lines all over the place where the cuts/seams were supposed to fall. THEN he used very sharp scissors and cut me out of it - leaving just a 3-D mold of my torso. I still have it. It's very weird (and has these bra-area things that just stick up!).
I never did use it for a pattern.
But it was - somehow - a fun experience.
(Memo to myself... if I ever do this again, use a t-shirt that doesn't have holes... it stings when you remove the mold...)

| ... i hate using tape. i consider is slipshod. if its for something permanent i would use cyanoacrylate adhesive. if its not meant to be permanent i would use hot melt glue which can be cleanly peeled off witht he help of a heavy duty art knife.

| I once used duct tape on some heating ducts at my house. I must not be doing this right. I should build a car and a girlfriend and a career out of duct tape right?

| I used duct tape once to- hmm actually I can't talk about that time. Well there was this girl once who demanded I use duct tape to- err hmm I feel awkard talking about that one too. I used it once to fix a recliner that was nearing its final days.
