Dr T Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 WHen I was young someone called it 200 mile per hour tape. He said "because race car driver use it on their cars and it wont come off." True story-I don't know if it's use for that is true, but the story is true.

BenRaines Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 My brother calls it 500 mile an hour tape. It was used to tape on wings of airplanes. Back in the day when wings on some planes were fabric it could be used for repairs. Here is another use. If you have a wart place a small piece of duct tape on the wart, enough to fully cover it. Leave it there for four weeks. Take tape off and wart will have died and be gone. PS: do not use on face or other place where it would be visible. You would spend all the time explaining it. It does not work on moles just warts. I have done it and it works. Wart is smothered. Ben Raines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionHeart Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 I've read that covering a wart with duck tape will make it go away.I wish I would have known about this sooner.

babygirl Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 <div class='quotemain'> I have heard that duct tape is used for 'support' when wearing a backless dress.That is actually very true that women will use duct tape to create cleavage in a backless dress.The best fun that I have ever witnessed was people using the varied colors of duct tape to create medieval outfits. Also if you are making clothing for yourself and you want to get accurate measurements, you create a duct tape dummy of your body.We love duct tape around my house and my favorite color to use is the purple!so i swear i saw someone mention after this post that they saw duct tape dresses and suits but now i cant find it, maybe im goin crazy.... anywaymy brother likes to make wallets out of ductap they last long too, and r cheep, lolim a big fan of ductap too, sounds like it can do almost anything, its superman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes used it weatherproof windows, fix leaky pipes, tape cables to the carpet so people dont trip, tape tarp to a leaky rook, tape a rip in a trash bag before it falls open. This is just some of his favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karrie91 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 this thread was a great conversation piece over dinner tonight and I learnt something about my brother in law. When his kids were babies he used duct tape to tape the diapers to them as they wriggled so much the diaper wouldnt stay on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr T Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 I heard a sad story about duct tape a number of years ago. I think it was when I lived in Salt Lake. There was a child care center that would duct tape the children to the wall and spray them with water when they misbehaved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MrsS Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thimble for sewing. I HATE the regular thimbles - my finger doesn't "breathe"and it gets so wet that the thimble pops off. I make one with duct tape around a small piece of hard plastic, then make it like a ring that only fits to the first joint of my finger. I also use duct tape to secure my heavy duty rubber gloves around my forearms so no water and gunk can get in. Tape an old towel to the broom so I can "sweep" the spider webs and cob webs off the ceiling. Use it to remove cat hair from my wool skirts and the sofa. AND to remove eeny-teeny tiny splinters from hands. Will NOT work in removing those stray eyebrows that are on the chin and upper lip though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
