Hey, if Duck Tape is good enough for Red Green, it's good enough for me (though I'm not really sure what brand he uses, maybe lots of them). I keep a roll of this in all of my tool buckets and hardly a weekend goes by that I don't find some use for it--which should tell you a lot about the state of my life and my house. One thing I've found is that when I'm stapling up plastic sheeting on my porch to keep out the snow, stapling through duck tape really strengthens the whole deal and keeps the plastic from ripping out.
