Wire glue-the solution when you can't find the soldering iron, don't want to bother, are out in the woods, don't quite trust a fifth-grader with a hot gun, can't reach the connection with both hands, whatever. This stuff conducts low voltage AC and DC circuits in a permanent bond and is easy to use. Our high-tech support group suggests that a toothpick is a good way to apply it. Cures overnight. Our each is a 0.3 oz/9ml jar.

Need some good strong tape? This filament tape is so good it's also called “strapping tape.” You know something’s going to stay put with strapping tape strapped to it. We’ll send you a 1" wide roll that’s 60 yards long and you’ll probably call us for another few rolls when you’re done with that. If any Canadians are reading this, the tape is 24mm wide x 55m long, but it was made in the USA any way you measure it.

Nuclear physicists speak of five fundamental forces: weak, strong, electromagnetic, gravity, and duct tape. Sizes and colors of duct tape come and go in the world of surplus –– right now, we have 2" wide by 60 yd. long rolls on 3” cores, all select seconds or better. We offer you a standard grey color.

Need to gaff? This is not technically gaffers’ tape because it has no cloth backing, but it has very similar adhesion and tearabilityness, so it’ll do for pretty much all your gaffing-like needs. Gray vinyl, 1-7/8" wide x .004" on a 50-yard roll. Just a good, solid, versatile roll of tape.

This thin, double-sided translucent tape from 3M is the Cal Ripken Jr. of the tape game. Called double-coated dielectric tape 3514, its acrylic adhesive is super-sticky and adheres well to a wide variety of materials. Has excellent holding power, resistant to high temperatures and moisture, and will withstand high humidity with minimal cockling or wrinkling. 1" wide on a 3-inch core, the length will vary, which is why we've got them at this low price. You'll get approx 100 feet.

You know, like the Mounties, those Canadian police folks with the red coats, big hats and black horses. Actually, this tape is for mounting objects in frames and on walls. Its double-sidedness allows you to stick one side to something and the other side to the spot you want the something to stay put. Use it in place of tacks, screws, nails and glue. You’ll get 15 feet of tape on a spool, 1” wide. Made in USA.

This is the stuff that won’t rip, split or tear, not even if you bite it, and you’re going to need a knife to open that package, bunky. It’s so strong it’s even hard to cut with the serrated blade on the included dispenser! Our each is (30) feet of 1-7/8" wide reinforced, filament packing tape in the afore-mentioned dispenser. Keep some around the house or in the garage.

What athlete wouldn’t want to be described as “krazy strong, krazy fast”? That’s what Krazy® Glue calls itself, and we see no reason why it shouldn’t. We’ve got the original, all-purpose, ultra-thick formula, no-run gel in a (2)-pack of 2-gram tubes with precision tips. Perfect for porous surfaces. Bonds to ceramic, plastic, wood, glass, porcelain, metal, leather, rubber and vinyl. Dries quick, and you can just take our word for that. Don’t go testing it on your fingers like we did in sixth grade.

We’ve looked at tape from both sides now, and no matter how we look at it, double-sided tape is better than ice cream castles in the air. Use it for carpet, rugs, signs, posters, photos, displays or whatever else needs staying in place. You pick: 324 feet x 0.70” wide of clear tape from Switzerland; 82 feet x 1” wide of beige tape with wax paper backing; or 164 feet x 1.89” wide of clear tape with wax paper backing.

Might want to get some of this assorted cloth gaffers’ tape in red, yellow, brown, green, silver and possibly other shades because it leaves no residue and has a non-reflective matte finish, on account of theaters and movie stages don’t like either. Ours is 1-7/8” wide on 60-yard rolls with 3” cores. A favorite of theaters, campers, tinkerers, gardeners and others, we're sure you'll find about 974 uses, give or take.

Jarvis Says: Surplus factor. New rolls but have a little warping from storage.
