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.

One promotion above 1st Lieutenant Polyimide? Nope-- tape material that makes duct tape hang its head in shame. Kapton polyimide is used in everything from flexible printed circuits, to the Apollo moon missions, to cryogenics. In this case, it’s a transparent golden-yellow 1/2” wide x .0025” thick adhesive tape on a 36-yard roll. Has a normal tensile strength of 30 lbs, insulates up to 7500V, and has a working temperature from -100F to 500F. High temp tolerance makes it perfect for masking during powder coating. Made in the USA.

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 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.

We’ve been trying to think of something new to say about Krazy® Glue, since everybody already knows everything about it. It's #1—says so right on the package, and you know the law. This is a 2-gram tube of the Ultra-Thick gel formula for porous surfaces, with a precision tip. Everyone needs a few fresh tubes of this stuff in a drawer at home—just in case—which, again, is nothing you don’t already know. Time to stock up.

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.

Try this neoprene rubber contact cement from Elmer's®, with a flexible bond. Has a 30-second set time, and cures in an hour. Our each is a (1) fluid oz squeeze bottle. Dries clear and works best on plastics, veneers, rubber, glass, metal and leather. And be careful, it’s flammable when wet.

We don't normally like electrical surprises, but in this case it's a just a color. Our vinyl electrical tape is 3/4" wide on a 66-foot roll and we'll send you (3) rolls from our lovely selection of purple, red, green, brown, gray and boring black.

We all need tape, all kinds of tape. The smart folks (tapeworms) stock up and have it ready when things go south, as they will.

Bonus use: fisherpersons use aluminum tape to wrap wooden lures for added fish-luring. Bonus tapeworm joke: they're the perfect pets--no leash, no license, go where you go and eat what you eat.
