Gaffer Tape

Great piece but how can you lose gaffer tape? Is it not always there two inches (or 50mm) from your hand in constant use? Sticking wood down so the router does not fire it across the road, stopping leaks, mending the car, roof, gutter, greenhouses, sheds, hinges for glass cloches. Cut your finger? Grab a tissue and a strip of gaffer tape. Even, rarely, for sticking cables to the floor for various gigs.
Incidentally also known to Aussies as Duck tape which is a corruption of duct tape because originally it was used to seal ventilation duct joints and the like.
Best UK dealer is Screwfix.com, especially if you are a heavy user.
"Can I fix it? Yes I can."
