Thank you for reading. This month’s question is, What have you repaired with duct tape recently?
I used duct tape recently as a temporary bicycle tire liner to manage a small hole in the side wall
I recently used it to temporarily fixed our microwave.
Hi Humayun,
Thank you for the comment. I hope the tape wasn’t used to patch a cracked viewing window!
I fixed my son’s toy mop with duct tape!
Camping mosquito screens and screen doors… never leave home without it!
I was out on a drilling rig, nibbling up a connection between a BOP and casing head housing when the lockpin on my hydraulic torque wrench broke. I managed to accomplish the task by using a duct tape to hold the two separated pieces firmly together.
The air conditioner in our office broke and awaiting repairs. Building services brought in a portable AC unit, but with missing exhaust pipe. We used a dryer duct to vent the hot air out of the room, but since the duct did not fit properly onto the portable unit, we duct taped it. I guess we actually used duct tape for a duct!
I used duct tape to secure and hold balloons together while creating a balloon arc as a background for my cousin’s birthday!
