6 Ways to Make a Repair With Duct Tape Duct tape is definitely the go-to repair material of choice for those quick-fixes. It is a three-layer tape that includes a plastic top layer, followed by a cloth mesh inner layer, and a rubber-based adhesive layer to provide maximum stickiness. It is one of the strongest tapes and may be utilized for just about anything. One of the benefits of the tape is that it could be ripped with bare hands and does not require special cutting tools despite its strength and flexibility. Because of so many uses it's not easy to limit repairs that can be finished with duct tape, but the six repairs below will help get you ready to go in no time. 1. Vacuum Hose In case your vacuum hose has developed a hole, fear not. A fast round of duct tape on the hose should correct the issue and ensure proper suction. You might want to tape above and underneath the hole, simply to be sure that the hole is totally covered. 2. Window Protection Is the home in the path of hurricane or any other potentially damaging storm? Place duct tape diagonally across your home's windows to prevent them from shattering. Use adhesive remover to get rid of the sticky residue when the storm has passed. 3. Car Repair It is a fact that the bumper fixed with duct tape looks a little peculiar, but as anyone that has ever endured a loose bumper knows, it can be a life-saver until you could possibly get to a repair shop. Store a roll of duct tape inside your trunk for those times when you need a fast solution. [http://www.43things.comhttp://www.f4tape.com/triangular-guideline-tape silicone tape] 4. Broken Furniture Is the leg threatening to separate apart on your coffee table? Wrap duct tape around it several times and it'll be like new. For any fun and funky look, use colored tape instead of the standard silver. You can also use tape to correct that garden furniture that needs a little more strength in the webbing. 5. Curtain Repair Has your curtain accidentally been torn after being caught in the window? Smooth the torn area flat as well as on the back of the curtain place a bit of duct tape. This works well for roller shades that have been damaged. If you want to quickly hem a curtain, you may also collapse the foot of the material and duct tape the finish to the main fabric itself. If you want to lengthen it, simply remove the tape and readjust. 6. Shower Curtain Repair When the grommet in your shower curtain continues to be performed, there is still a way to salvage the curtain. Put a piece of duct tape outrageous fringe of the curtain and then poke a brand new hole for that shower curtain ring. For any stronger area, put a few layers from the tape rather than one. Duct tape is a superb, inexpensive tool to keep inside your bag of home repair tricks. Its strength and flexibility allow it to be well suited for most anything. Ironically, this tape doesn't work well for repairing heating and cooling ducts, because it becomes brittle and loses its adhesive strength when put through constantly fluctuating temperatures.
