It's to tape down luggage to my bike and to cover wires
trailing across the floor at a party I may be DJing at next
weekend.

I'm disappointed that considering how useful duct tape is,
they still haven't solved the problem of the side of rolls
being sticky and getting covered in fluff and dirt.

check the "freshness date" that's printed on each roll. if
the tape is past it's prime, or smells slightly of balsamic
vinegar, reject the roll and choose a fresher and better
product.

i found this info on the "duct tales" website, a wealth of
info regarding this remarkable product.

Have you got a link? I couldn't find the site...

Do you reckon duct tape is a better 'miracle product' than
WD40? Do you agree that it is a wonderful thing that you can
get duck brand duct tape, as well as WD40, even in
supermarkets?

Sorry for going off topic i_x_ten.

i'm sorry ceri i made the whole thing up. i just wanted to
see if i could get you to smell your duct tape.

i agree the wide availability of useful items such as duct
tape, wd40 and twist ties is wonderful. i just used some
wd40 the other day on a rusty bolt.

You swine, it's toxic, isn't it? That's why you
wanted me to smell it!

duct
tape, wd40 and twist ties is wonderful. i just used some
wd40 the other day on a rusty bolt.


Useful tip:

When trying to free seized bolts.

1. administer WD40, give it a light (only a light) tap with
a hammer (use a folded over rag to protect the surface).
Re-apply WD40, then heat it. Depending on the material, use
either a blowtorch (if it's all metal and discolouration
doesn't matter), if it's near anything more sensative, just
put a halogen worklight next to it for ten minutes.

Due to some bizarre rule of physics, holes get smaller
(rather than larger as you would think) when heat is applied
and the fact that the bolt will probably be made of a
different material to that which it is screwed into, means
they will expand at different rates. This will likley result
in the seal between the two breaking, making it much easier
to undo. Reapply wd40, then try again to undo it. If it
doesn't work, leave it overnight, then repeat the same thing
the next day. Do this for a whole week before giving up and
drilling the bolt out/taking it to a garage/machinist's
place.

2. If at any time you get the situation where it undoes a
small amount (typically only a few degrees), then catches
again, don't force it. Instead, apply some WD40, then
tighten/loosen it the few degrees several times, reapply
WD40 and repeat. You may well find it suddenly comes all the
way undone. If not, go back to where you left off in step
1.

3. Once it's out, consider replacing it with a newer screw.
Even if you do use a new one, be sure to coat the screw you
put back into the hole in molyslip/copaslip and torque it to
the manufacturer's specification to ensure you can get it
out more easily next time.

well i prefer hardware to software anyways, because it's
something tangible.

it's one of the very few pieces of digital kit in my
lineup.

i did try to go wholly analog, but the whimsy's of the Nord

lol
