6 Methods 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 consisting of a plastic top layer, then a fabric mesh inner layer, and a rubber-based adhesive layer to supply maximum stickiness. It is among the strongest tapes and can be used for just about anything. One benefit of this tape is that it can be ripped with bare hands and does not require special cutting tools despite its strength and adaptability. Because of so many uses it can be hard to narrow down repairs that can be completed with duct tape, however the six repairs below will help enable you to get up and running in no time.
1. Vacuum Hose If your vacuum hose has developed a hole, fear not. A fast round of duct tape around the hose should correct the issue and ensure proper suction. You might want to tape above and underneath the hole, just to make sure that the hole is totally covered.
2. Window Protection Is the home within the path of hurricane or other potentially damaging storm? Place duct tape diagonally across your home's windows to avoid them from shattering. Use adhesive remover to remove the sticky residue when the storm has transpired.
3. Car Repair It is a fact that a bumper fixed with duct tape looks a bit peculiar, but as anyone who has ever had a loose bumper knows, it's really a life saver until you can get to a repair shop. Store a roll of duct tape in your trunk for those times when you need a quick fix.
4. Broken Furniture Is the leg threatening to split apart on your coffee table? Wrap duct tape around it a few times and it'll be like new. For a fun and funky look, use colored tape instead of the standard silver. You may also use tape to repair 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 and on the rear of the curtain place a piece of duct tape. This also works well for roller shades that have been damaged. If you want to quickly hem a curtain, you can also fold up the bottom of the fabric and duct tape the end to the main fabric itself. If you want to lengthen it, simply remove the tape and readjust.
6. Shower Curtain Repair When the grommet on your shower curtain has been pulled off, there is still a method to salvage the curtain. Put a bit of duct tape outrageous edge of the curtain after which poke a brand new hole for that shower curtain ring. For a stronger area, put a few layers from the tape rather than one.
Duct tape is a superb, inexpensive tool to help keep in your bag of home repair tricks. Its strength and adaptability make it 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 subjected to constantly fluctuating temperatures.
