    x things to do with duck tape

    After seeing Tumbles Exploits with his cables.

    How many things can we think of to use duck tape for??

    I'll start things off -

    writing down the course when I go racing at the sail club (means I can stick it anywhere)

    I've started another thread for string - longest wins title of most useful thing

    Life is a game of chess.
    I'm crap at chess.
    Sometimes though, I get lucky.

    Actually it's Duck tape - well that's what my roll tells me.

    It's a trademark - http://www.ducktapeclub.com/ part of the loctite group.

    suppose you could use it to cover your nipples to stop you getting joggers nipple when doing long distance running - but I bet removal could be a bit painful for the hairy folks amoungst us

    The duck tape name comes from when it was originally developed for sealing ammuntion cases to make the water proof for ww2, the duct tape name comes from its later use in air con and heating duct repair when the colour was then changed to silver.

    Well there's 2 things for you

    judging by people in a crappier estate nearby, its great for keeping a broken 1980s convertable hood up.
