Duct Tape
During a private "fly-in" fishing excursion in the Alaskan wilderness, the chartered pilot and fishermen left a cooler and bait in the
plane. And a bear smelled it. This is what he did to the plane.
The pilot used his radio and had another pilot bring him 2 new tires, 3 cases of duct tape, and a supply of sheet plastic. He patched the plane
together, and FLEW IT HOME !

Never travel without duct tape & cable ties - the universal solution to almost anything!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

If it moves and it shouldn't = Duct tape
If it doesn't move and it should = WD40/Hammer

Russ is correct,
Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side adark side and holds the universe together.
Nothing wrong with that repair, i've signed off worse

I used to carry a small roll of duct tape and a couple of dozen cable ties on the bike, and in the old dutton.
I think i might need more than that in the current kit, so i now carry a bag full of tools!!
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

Duct tape
Duct tape = Bodge tape = Gaffer Tape BUT
should also be known as Tank Tape.
Main use was to be stuck over a row of rivets and protect the rubber fuel tanks in 1950-1970's aircraft structures from rubbing against the
rivet tails and leaking.
Most important tools ever invented:
Lump Hammer
Flat bladed screwdriver
Stilsons
Tank tape
Tea Mug

Saw a 'Mythbusters' programme where they built a sailing boat from duct tape and a cannon!
They both worked.......

I was wondering why they used the cannon to build a boat... untill I re-read it.
Three things there should be in every tool box.
A hammer, a roll of gaffer tpe and a condom. If you can't fix it with the first 2 then F*** it!
