Gorilla tape!!

[Old406Kid]

If you think Gorilla tape is the shit, try T-REX tape...stickier and stronger

T-Rex Tape products include ferociously strong, weather-resistant duct tape, packing tape, and repair tape for household repairs, DIY projects and outdoor.

Thanks for the rec but I'm not sure I'm ready to get rid of my Gorilla Tape.

Another tip, keep a little on your ski poles and/or hiking sticks just in case. Granted, in ten years I've never had to use it but that's not the point.

That's actually what I do, except wrapped around a pen that resides in my boat box. Comes in handy when you poke a hole in your Outcast Commander and want to keep fishing or keep from sinking.

I use this on clothes:


I have used black duct tape on PVC rain gear like Grundens. It’s okay for that.
But my best gorilla tape story—used it to patch up my tent rain fly on the Wallowa after a smallish bear visited me in the night. I woke up to the bear smashing the tent in. I was still drunk and at first I thought my dog was jumping on the tent. There’s some more pretext there but no matter, my dog was hundreds of miles away. I unzipped the fly and yelled at the bear, which ran off. I fell back asleep and in the morning, my friend gave me the gorilla tape he had wrapped around his Nalgene for emergencies (resourceful!) to patch up the fly. I straightened out the poles, applied gorilla tape to the claw mark tears on my shredded rain fly, bid farewell to my camp mates, and slept a little uneasy that night—not drunk.

Carry a roll of Gorilla tape on your backpacking trips and sleep in comfort on this homemade hammock. Or make one for your backyard and be the envy of your neighborhood.

Patches holes in floor boards, keeps your feet dry when driving through puddles. Just put the sticky side down or your feet get stuck and you can’t hit the breaks. Don’t ask me how I know this.

I'm cheap. I just use the regular Duck Tape. This tape started out with the word duct and changed to duck over time. It is easier to say than duct. The last tape I bought was extra sticky. But I'm still cheap.

never leave home without it....bad wipeout out of bounds Kirkwood when I dropped into a steep face and it let go, the rag doll drop cost me a torn pec and a sheared snowboard binding ,....in my backpack was the last few feet of Gorilla Tape on a roll in a baggie, had been there for several years....two wraps around the board and my boot kept my foot taped down well enough to make it to some asistance...

I wrap my Lighter I carry with on hiking trips with a couple feet of gorilla tape. Has come in handy on several occasions.

I repaired a split radiator hose on my Jeep with duct tape & the palm from a leather glove while w a y off the beaten path one time. Held for 35 miles or so; sounds as if I could still be driving it had I used Gorilla or T-Rex tape . . .

I may or may not have ridden in a Cesna that had body work done with it.

As the guy that's "allowed" to install such items like this on aircraft, it works pretty well!

Duck tape the OG of all we use to call 100 MPH tape in the racing world. Although I can testify it's good to over 200 if applied properly. Can fix a cracked cowling and even hold down a fuel tank with a sheared bolt if need be. And repair a ripped parachute on a alcohol funny car that just went through the Trappe at 264 MPH in 6 seconds in the 1/4 mile.

Duck tape the OG of all we use to call 100 MPH tape in the racing world.

And in the 70s when setting up on stage we called it Rock 'n Roll tape.

 

[mark wlker]

Used the original 100mph tape to repair damage to the skin on trailers for JB Hunt trucking. Great stuff!

SIMMS windstopper jacket purchased in 2001.
Still has no holes in it. No tape needed.

Just sayin..

Interesting. The goal being to hit it square so that it rolls straight, right?

Gorilla tape is extremely flammable. A cotton ball infused with Vaseline that is incased in Gorilla tape is a very good "fire starter". No other "duct tape" burns like Gorilla tape.

Sounds like a fun "experiment" to do with my kid in the back yard....

Trust me, Gorilla tape burns quite differently than pretty much any other thing on earth.
