1. Repairing a cracked water bottle or a pierced hydration bladder. A little strip of DT is the next best thing to a bandage for an ailing water vessel. Just dry the surface before you try to tape your patch in place, most forms of duct tape don’t stick to wet surfaces.
2. Survival arrow fletching. Tear off a few 5-inch pieces, and a long edge of one piece to the arrow shaft, fold the tape lengthwise, and stick the other long edge of that piece to the arrow. Repeat this process one or two more times; trim the vanes to shape with your knife; and you will have a serviceable arrow fletching. 3. Butterfly bandage strips. Cut two small strips of DT, and add a smaller strip across their centers (sticky side to sticky side) to create a makeshift butterfly suture. 4. Make cordage. Twist one or several lengths of duct tape into a cord or rope.

By the way, for those single guys who are mystified and annoyed by the residue from badly peeled labels and such, they should know that your trick with WD-40, or a label removing product that costs 3 dollars and lasts forever, will change their life.
While duct tape has its uses, there is something else that has great versitility...the various construction adhesives, such as Liquid Nails and competitive products. This family of products will work wonders in patching, sealing, and bonding. Water storage containers can be sealed permanently with these. Some allow wet, treated lumber to be bonded. And they are cost effective for repairs/projects that need to last.
BUGOUT
Have you noticed how many glass bottle/jarred foods have a rubber ring inside the metal lid? ... Yes, they do reseal once cleaned properly and ‘cooked’ in a pressure cooker or canner. I have a few jars of something my son brewed up last Christmas that still have the ‘dimple’ in the lid from sealing. Opened one a week ago and it was just like the day it was canned up.
Oh gosh no....fell through entirely! The landlord finally got the woman out of the rental property but not til Jan. .....so I scraped the idea altogether. It’s still empty but he’s going to remodel it or connect it to his current business. He’ll let me know which way it goes once he decides, but I’m not holding my breath on it.
At any rate...am still here in my cozy place...and that’s just fine for now. Thanks for asking though. Trust you are well and cats too?
Now THAT is funny! lol

BTW, have you tried the fast drying JB Weld yet? Wow, that is some amazing epoxy. I coated a screw with high temp bearing grease then filled a hole witht he JB Weld and stuck the scre into the glue mass. In an hour I screwed the screw right out leaving a nice thread pattern for reuse.
