Very Zen.

I recommend "Gorilla Tape" for that job. It is basically a very high quality duct tape that I have found sticks better than most other commercially available brands I have used. It is black in color. It's made by the same folks who make "Gorilla Glue".

In my experience it is almost as good as the 3M Brand "EB Green" tape made for and used by the military (as mentioned by several people in other posts). That stuff is the best duct/repair tape I have ever used -- Goriulla tape wins second place in my book.

Sounds like the rowdy days are over. Hopefully my daughter’s artwork is at least still in place to give the place some culture.

Still there.

Thanks! I’ll check it out. :o)

They should have put the tape on the inside; it would have held easily.

Actually, it is high temp duct tape, which is aluminum.

Genius!

Thanks Daffynition.

Passengers watched in horror as ground crew put the tape around the edge of the windscreen shortly before take-off from Stansted, Essex, to Riga, Latvia.

Stanstead, Essex to Riga, Latvia? I guess this story is a good thing, because it made us aware of Stanstead (most of us for the first time), and made us aware that there are flights from there to Riga.

Good. After all, what office ensemble is complete without a mural of animals getting gassed at Auschwitz?

Actually think it was the USS Philadelphia (SSN690)- I used the last bit of it last year. a roll lasted me 25 years.
