the next time someone accuses you of saying "duck" tape, you can tell them that "duck" tape was invented first, and it was called duck tape because it was waterproof. duct tape came next. I recently discovered gorilla tape, by the makers of gorilla glue. its duct tape on steroids. my contribution to the list is latex gloves,for greasy parts as well as bloody injuries. you can stick some in your seatpost, to hold the gorilla tape in.
