I’ll probably be the only one here to say this, but I don’t like the stuff, and have regretted using it in the past as it leaves it’s sticky residue and only delays things or makes them worse.

I don’t even carry it on my work truck, as a repairman, I have never found it useful and eventually quit even keeping it at all.

I can see having some and carrying a little in a survival kit, but I think people should in general avoid it around the house.

I could say the same thing about at least one ex-wife.

Really? I’m thinking of 5-6 things around my house that are duct taped. Perhaps I could have taken more time and repaired it correctly. But it was either DT it or throw it away.

I did buy a new garden hose to replace the one I duct taped. But I haven’t opened it yet. The DT hose works ok.

The sticky residue cleans off quickly and easily with a spray of WD40. The solvent nature of that product softens and dissolves glues, like the labels attached to glass jars which you want to reuse.
