duct tape to the rescue

DUCT TAPE TO THE RESCUE


this is one of the best uses of duct tape that i came up with over the years
this old chair was redone with several rolls of gorilla black duct tape
we sure hated to leave it behind in texas when we made our move
the second picture is ms b playing in the chair
it would spin around and rock back and forth 
i childs dream chair


once the stopper in our tub got stuck so i put duct tape over the top of it and was able to pull it back out 
i then was able to repair it


these are my historian brothers old mowing shoes he repaired with duct tape
his wife eventually threw them away


i once repaired my favorite wheelbarrow at the country n with duct tape
it worked for several years afterwards
