Well, that’s okay, but the information is a bit dated. Do you think you could update for 2010 and 2011?

Sorry, just trying to keep all comments relevant.

The video of the episode: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnILEXnRHP0

As an aside, Our Old Town traveler canoe developed a large crack in the Royalex hull ...it lasted for years and years w/ heavy usage w/ 3M duct tape sealing the crack w/out any leaks. ;)

Unless he uses Hoppes #9 as a cologne, and buys WD-40 by the case ... he’s all but useless. :D

Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

The only 2 tools you need are WD-40 and duct tape. If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.

Used to have a carpet cleaning business. When the vacuum hoses leaked, we’d put a wrap of duct tape to seal it.

We used to have a (slightly) sarcastic company saying that when a hose was more the 50% duct tape it was time to buy a new one.

Sorry. Didn't even look at the date. Just looked for the cover and Octobers model. Here is more current info.

A black chick with an Irish accent would be fun to bump into at a bar for sure. They also have a very good looking inflight magazine. Far superior than what I get stuck looking at here in the states.

High speed tape is a perfectly acceptable repair. It’s aluminum, not fabric like duct tape and costs a lot more.

Not to mention that on the 'cheap' speed tape, the acrylic adhesive on speed tape is good from -40F to +325F. On the hi-temp stuff, the silicone adhesive is good from -65F to +600F

I use the stuff for hot spots on my feet and ankle when I hike or snowboard. Better than mole skin as it creates a slippery surface for your socks and boots to mover over.

What a great idea! Thanks!
