Happened across this post on 15 Ways Duct Tape Could Save Your Life at TheReadyStore.com and figured it was a good reminder why duct tape is so useful. Just be sure to get the professional grade duct tape and never buy off-brands… most are horrible.

Hey ! kind of off topic but would like to pass along a very useful product we just used at work . Not sure exactly what the name of it is but I think its called Tool Dip . If you ask for it at home depot , they will know what your talking about . Anyway , its designed for you to but a semi flexible plastic grip on your tools , it comes in different colors and best of all its liquid . Your supposed to dip the handle of your tools into the can repeatedly until you get the thickness you want , BUT what we used it for is painting on a soft bumper guard for a sliding pannel so it wouldn’t tear up somebody’s hands if it came down .Being liquid plastic its also 100 % waterproof! you can easily paint it on any surface to make water tight , its very thin so it will go into cracks easily .Its worth experimenting with or having on hand ……..many uses for the things preppers are doing .
If I can help it , I wont get anything but OD or black . Duct tape is like bailing wire , used are up to your creativity .
* uses *
I don’t think they sell OD duct tape at Home Depot.
True , you have to order it on line or go to your local army surplus store ( im like a kid in a candy store there !
Good article, thanks for the post. Fascinating that it WAS originally called duck tape in the military!
I always keep a few rolls around the house, one in our vehicles, bug out bags, and even in my wallet. It’s wonderful stuff. Don’t know how we survived with duct tape.
