I use this stuff for everything at the barn.  It can make duct tape booties for my horse's hooves, or hold together a fence, or keep  a bucket from leaking.  This is much thicker than your typical duct tape (and much more expensive as I am sure you have noticed).  I have found it cheaper on other sites, but the quick shipping of amazon is awesome and when I find that I have run out I always order it here.  Better quality and heavier duty than any other duct tape you would typically buy.
