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.

Mega-useful aluminum tape. A 2" wide x 50-yard roll of .004” thick aluminum on a 3” core. Has a paper backing and is conductive on the non-adhesive side. Reflects heat and light, useful for seaming riveted aluminum sheets, particularly good for cold weather and metal repairs. Our fisherman friends love to wrap wooden lures with it and work it with a piece of soft wood for metal-finish effects.

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.

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.

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.

Tuck this small roll of black duct tape in your glove box and drive away secure in the knowledge that you’ve got what it takes to repair a leaky hose under the hood at midnight in the rain. Measures 1-7/16” wide on a 1-1/2” core, and you’ll get (15) feet of tape, enough to fix a hose and stick a broken mirror back on the door. Dead-center in the you-don’t-know-you-need-it-until-you-need-it category.

Because your steady hand isn’t really as steady as it used to be, is it? No, and if you’re like us, it never really was in the first place. Why not admit it and get these 60-yard rolls of 1-3/8” wide, blue painter’s masking tape. Made in the European Union, where they hate wiggly lines.

You can be that masked man for next to nothing. Just order our masking tape specials in 3/4" or 1" widths (Actual widths are 0.71" and 0.94" respectively.), both on 60-yard (or 180-foot, whichever comes first) rolls, both on 3" cores. If this tape looks familiar, it's because it's been a long-time A.S.& S. store favorite, and now you out-of-towners can buy it through the catalog and website!

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. It will give you something to look forward to. UL listed.

Our Associate VP for Residual Tackiness says this cloth tape is not as residual as duct tape (meaning it won’t leave as much residue behind when you pull it up), but tackier than gaffer’s tape. Strong and sticky, easy-to-tear, and just right for repairing vinyl, upholstery, plastic, canvas and most other stuff. On 4-meter (approx 13-foot) rolls, they’re 1-7/8” wide on a 1-1/2” core. You pick red or white.
