Re: duct tape
The original "duct tape" was asbestos wetted with wheat paste. As a kid, I did that with my father on many of his moonlighting furnace jobs.
Fast forward, Duct Tape has been mispronounced for so many years now that it's even spelled Duck Tape on some packaging.

Re: duct tape
I use a roll of duct tape on the floor of my '32 pick-up as a cup holder. Works quite well.

Re: duct tape
You can fix anything with a hammer --- just depends on how hard you hit it.
