Would it be enough to silence a talkative wife?

Well halfbushel, you answered for half of the group. Have your kids let us know when your wife's trial will be. LMAO.

Try a section on your duct work, if you have any, to see how it sticks to metal. That's about all you can do with 18".

Secure it to the ground stickey side up and see if you can catch a duck.

Oh! Im sorry.

18" divided by the mouths on my 4 kids = 4.5" per mouth. Hmmmmm, 18" seems just about right.

Looks like I've been included in the lucky group who are getting to test the strip of duct tape. I didn't think the testing products could get any cheaper,but this really blows me away. Retail value, .99 cents. Manufacturers cost,probably .10 cents. After all these years as a member, I've finally come to the conclusion that the only real purpose of asking for your profile is so that they know who to sell your name to for advertisers. They'll get no more profiles from me, and I won't waste my time reviewing their strip of duct tape. The postage is worth more than the product. Then again,----------- maybe I will send a suggestion as to what they could do with a piece of the tape.

I was going to say, we could use it to tape my daughters mouth shut, but then she started talking and reminded me that nope that wont be enough tape for an 18 year old female <!--graemlin::eek:-->. <!--graemlin::(-->

That is exactly enough to cover up an 18" pencil mark.

Yes what wouldn’t you use 18” of Duck tape for. I gave it to my son and he hemmed his jeans up with it. Also used some to close up a tear in the same pear of jeans!! I like to hear some of your stories of duck tape.

Ok I got my 18" piece of duct tape.
I blew the top radiator hose on the old truck today. I wrapped the hose with this 18" piece of tape and I was able to get to the parts house and replace the hose. I was 10 miles out of town, the tape and my drinking water saved the day. I think it is a little pricey at .99 cents, I suggest they either lower the price or add a little more tape.

I figured that if they sent a piece 10' long, they could still make substantially more profit at .99 cents than they do on a conventional sized roll. I did return the survey with my personal comments concerning the alleged tool testing program. Can't print it here because they would probably ban me from the site.I'm sure someone was ammused by my remarks.

I have only one question: Why in the H would anybody even WANT to buy 18 inches of duct tape? For 18 inches, go borrow it from your neighbor. Good grief, I've ruined that much getting the stupid stuff started off the roll right. Sheeesh.

Ahhh life is good!! I too have been blessed being able to "test" 18 inches of duct tape, geez it just doesn't get any better'n this! And this after only waiting 3 years for a product to test!! <!--graemlin::p-->

Originally posted by: cedar on 2/7/2006 8:38:14 AM

Just think!!!! At .99 cents for 18", that would be over $6.50 for a strip 10' long. Emagine what you'd pay for a full roll. !!!

If everyone who got the 18" Duct tape would send it to my teenage grandson he would be able to make himself another pair of pants. The Last one look real good. Maybe he's starting another fad.

If you know a school bus driver, give it to him/her to patch up holes the kids cut in the seats. Ask them to let you know how long it takes for the kids to rip it off again.

As a welder (mostly in power houses) there are a lot of places where even the small welding hoods don't fit.

I've used duct tape to attach leather to the rectangular lens burning goggles and then use this outfit to complete a weld.

I've taken it and used it to tape over a rotted out rear fender. Starting at the bottom and overlapping the strips until I got to the molding.

Once the rust holes were covered I painted over the tape.

I was able to sell the car that I bought for $35.00 (and drove for 14,000 miles) for $175.00.

Yes, but try doing all that with 18"
