Gail | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 03:45 am   This seems like fun - I moved these posts to a new thread to see all of the possibilities we can come up with for duct tape. |
Whit4you | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 06:39 pm   Well we could come up with 101 uses for duct tape |
Ryn | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 06:54 pm   Whit, thats too easy, maybe 1001 would be a challenge |
Gail | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 07:15 pm   I can give you one use for duct tape right now. Monday night, I drove into town to get a part for my kitchen faucet. On the way back home I was driving down the 2 lane highway and an oncoming car must have flipped a pebble at my back left window. Kind of a scary sound - the window totally shattered. IT is still in place though. My next door neighbor was kind enough to cover the whole thing with duct tape for me. Sometime this week, I need to get it fixed. Anyways, that is one use for duct tape. |
Wcv63 | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 07:29 pm   Duct tape is also great for holding together old and tattered sporting equipment that is too expensive to replace. The rubber gasket seal on stand up freezer was not working properly and I duct taped my freezer closed. Duct tape is great for repairing hoses(car and garden) as a quick fix. My son used it to immobilize his sister last week. I explained that this was inappropriate use of duct tape. |
Kady | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 08:05 pm   I'm totally surprised there are so many uses for Alka Seltzer. Some of these I have heard before but can never think of when I needed them. |
Tksoard | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 09:23 pm   One thing you should never do, is put duct tape under your bed! (That's one of the things they held against that Richard guy in the Atlanta bombing). |
Tksoard | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 09:26 pm   (test) |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 09:33 pm   (test) can anybody see me? just checking. <Juju2bigdog goes off to sew some curtains that are basted together with duct tape>

Tksoard | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 09:56 pm   Juju, the only reason I did that test is because when I posted the one above, the () cam out as "". So I edited it again, and it was still "", but it showed up here as (). I don't know why. That's WebTV for you I guess. Maybe I should clean my keyboard. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 10:21 pm   Tk, don't mind me. I just get silly sometimes. <Juju2bigdog cleans TK's keyboard with duct tape>

Tksoard | Friday, June 22, 2001 - 10:25 pm   Thanks!! I needed that! Now put it away in a Drawer. |
Zeb | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 04:55 am   A bookmark A nose pugger An annoyance if you randomly stick it on things |
Highlander | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 06:41 am   Tape down cables running across the floor. |
Rogue | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 07:35 am   Use duct tape instead of handcuffs... |
Nancy | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 07:53 am   lol im not even asking what you are doing with those handcuffs(or d/tape) LOL |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 08:45 am   I have always used ductape as a quick vacuum cleaner Rather then drag out the vacuum when there are just a dozen or two bits of whatever on the carpet - just roll a piece of ductape backwords on your hand and it picks up all the specks in a jiffy. |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 08:47 am   When we were in need of some rope - to hold the trunk down but not latched - we made rope out of ducttape |
Karuuna | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 08:49 am   Last year some yellow jackets built a nest inside one of my walls. Then they ate thru the drywall and started coming into the house. Since I'm *deathly* allergic to stings, I was a basket case for days. A friend came over and put duct tape over the opening they had made - and voila, no more yellow jackets in the house! Duct tape saved my life! Bet 3m will be calling me any moment to do a testimonial!  |
Ryn | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 08:53 am   I have used duct to to....<gasp> seal some duct work in my crawl space!!!! |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:17 am   Creative Ryn, Very creative. Use duct tape for reparing hoses |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:19 am   Not that I recommend this but I still remember when my X hubby was cutting linoleum - he sliced a big gash in his leg (don't recommend THIS either) - he took a piece of ducttape to keep the cut squeezed together - stopped the bleeding at any rate. I do suppose this would be handy if your out somewhere with ducttape and no other means to stop the bleeding. |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:20 am   Tape annoying people to walls, floor, or ceiling |
Gail | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:29 am   I would think a new roll of duct tape could be used as a weapon. But, just in case there are innocent bystanders nearby before you throw it, holler real loud "Duct . . . . tape!!!" so they don't get hit. |
Whit4you | Saturday, June 23, 2001 - 09:29 am   Mark lines on a sporting event field Use to patches holes in vinyl siding Use to remove lint from clothes Use as a contraceptive device |
