Re: RE: [CHAT guy topics< duct tape

Use it everywhere...it has my vote for the invention of all time!! My
husband and his friends who are all flooring installers use it as
bandaids for cuts from carpet knives...if they accidentally slice
themselves when cutting carpet or vinyl flooring, they just hold the
skin together and duct tape over it until the bleeding stops!!!

Okay so here's a prompt that may spark some discussion with the,<br>uh,
guys:<br>> How many ways have you used duct tape in the
garden?<br>======<br><br>Well, not a guy, but duct tape is
indispensable. I have a Japanese<br>digging knife whose handle is held
together with it. I have a sheath<br>for a pruning saw made of
cardboard, covered in duct tape (works just<br>fine); even taped a hole
in my plastic bodied wheelbarrow with<br>it....lesseee, what else...I've
used it to repair broken branches on<br>shrubs, hold the top of my water
jug together after I dropped it and<br>cracked it; patched slits in my
rubber boots with it (doesn't work<br>too well for that as it really
doesn't stand up well to water and a<br>lot of motion); repaired tears
in assorted plastic temp. cold frame<br>covers and even patched rips in
my gardening overalls with it before<br>I could get to putting in real
patches. <br><br>Duct

tape, like WD-40 is sort of one of those essentials in<br>life....if
it's got a hole; tape it...if it's got metal parts,
spray<br>it;-)<br><br>Marge Talt, zone 7
