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.

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.

At least for painters. Our (135)-foot spool of 1-1/2” wide orange painter's tape works just like the famous other-colored painter's tape. Also, it has been our experience that paint simply does not care what color tape you use to keep it under control. You’re going to need a few rolls sooner or later.

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.

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.

Sorry, no giskets. This is surplus, after all. But gaskets? We’ve got glue to stick it to them. From the company formerly known as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (now known as 3M) comes this 2-oz tube of fast-drying yellow automotive weatherstrip and gasket adhesive. You go glue now.

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.

This aluminum tape measures 2” wide on a 90-foot roll. It’s non-conductive, but water- and heat-resistant, so it's often the product of choice for duct work or insulation applications. Peel off the paper back and stick it on. It’s so reflective you'll want to use it to make a replacement for your tin-foil hat. Also great for ’70s era disco and space costumes. And disco-space costumes.

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. 

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.
