The plexiglass window to our storm door has been duct taped in for going on 3 years now. Duct tape patched our folboat in a very dicey blow down in the Florida Keys. I have used it for an emergency hem job. Half of the toys my son and I have invented are held together or reinforced with duct tape. Given a roll of duct tape, tie wire, sheet metal and a bic lighter and one can probably make, rig or repair anything.
