View attachment 788617 It’s after 5:00 McMaster Carr is closed and we’ve only got 4-10mm trim screws in the shop and this plane leaves in 20 minutes! What do we do boss? Go to my tool box and grab the shiny duct tape! This should hold it to Dallas, they say they have a ¾ box full of 10mm trim screws over there!
There could be a 10% surcharge for that...Jegs and Summit should do it!This would also apply to boat parts.
Hmmm, probably explains why I was never a morning ‘baiter.

Well there is standard foil tape, which is what that appears to be, and there is Hardcast. Both have aluminum foil outer layers, but the Hardcast has a mastic like adhesive that is stickier than damn near any substance known to mankind. We use both for A/C work. I prefer to use Hardcast for exposed outside ductwork as I feel the foil helps to maintain the seal better over time.I used to have a roll of that stuff... It is awesome. It is very thin gauge aluminum with a stupid sticky glue. We used to call it 600 mph tape.
That about covers it!
Mike Rowe did a podcast about their invention as well that was great.I listen to a history podcast called the dollop. Their episode on this was awesome.
Apparently I did this with a Bobby pin as a child
I did that with bare wire in each hand when I was a kid and still became an electrician.
I used a pair of tweezers, got one in each circuit. No helicopter moms in my day, we learned our lessons the hard way.I did that with bare wire in each hand when I was a kid and still became an electrician.
I need that OSHA sign for my job trailer.
