custard~SPARTA~ Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 My son Harry asked the wife today which tape is strongest parcel or gaffer tape? Wife why? Because I want to tape my mate Scanny to a bin tomorrow at school. Harry you are not taping anyone to a bin (this said rather loudly). Harry went on saying he won't use our tape he will buy his own, the conversation went the way you can imagine ended by the wife. Guess who is gonna be in a world of shit when he gets home this evening as the wife has just found 2 rolls of tape and some scissors in his school bag, I am PMSL.

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 LMAO. I thought you were Floyd there for a minute! And why use parcel or gaffer tape? Duct tape is much stronger and you don't need scissors to cut it. And what's with naming a kid "Scanny." I'd tape him up just for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter~SPARTA~ Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yea, tell him scissors can get him in trouble at school. Duct tape is way better. Actually gorilla a tape (black one) is way better then regular gray/silver duct tape. Its easy to rip it with bare hands and stick as good as ex wife to your paycheck. I hope you did explain your boy how to tape for best grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custard~SPARTA~ Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Unresolved she is not having the conversation until tomorrow night (end of term) I will keep posted. I didn't know there was a difference between black and silver and I've used miles of the stuff at work LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenADunn~SPARTA~ Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ah duct tape, the abductors tool of choice.......... Silence is golden but Duct tape is silver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter~SPARTA~ Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ah duct tape, the abductors tool of choice.......... Silence is golden but Duct tape is silver! Well, you are correct. It was source of confusion to me. We use duct tape to seal connection in air/heat duct;s. So tape used to seal air duct's should be named duct tape. But its silver/metal and its called silver (at list in my company) and so called duct tape would be illegal to use.

Sometimes you Americans does not make sense at all Yeah that silver stuff is called Foil Tape, and is used on ducts, and is fricking expensive. One roll is $15! And the duct tape is right next to it, in the ducting area at Home Depot, but it's not to be used on ducts. Actually, Duct tape can be used on just about everything BUT ducts. Maybe that's why they called it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cylawyer~SPARTA~ Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 It used to be made for ducts until they came out with the silver stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I saw a Nat Geo documentary way back when of a guy filming in Afghanistan just after the fighting broke out. I actually met this guy in a bar in Knoxville about a year before, and he gave me his hat lol. Anyways, he was going to get into a helicopter the Afghan National Army had, and it landed, they said it may be just a bit unstable because the rotors came off recently, but not to worry as they were being held with ductape. You can imagine the guy's wariness. Later on, he ended up getting artillery called in near his position and took some shrapnel in the leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
