Gorilla Glue Duct Tape Rules!

I was getting these pics ready to send to Gorilla Glue and figured it would be a good test to post them here.  And to tell everybody to buy Gorilla Glue products, they work!

I am in the process of putting in a stone patio and walkways, crawling around on gravel and stone all day. Did not want to ruin all my work pants so I was wearing the ones with torn knees already, and put duct tape over the holes. Two days working in this pair and the tape is not peeling off.

And this is what I was crawling over.

This stuff works, and how!

Good job.  Post a picture of your patio when it’s done.

Admin edit: I put in a space before and after your pics. You should do this in the future. We use XHTML here, not HTML (which requires paragraph or break tags).

I put in the pic you see when you click over to the link until we can figure out an easy way for you guys to display your pics without using so much bandwidth. The three pics are near 1.5 mbs and that’s a lot to load up. By contrast, those three pics up above are near 150 kbs, or a full ten times less than your original picture.

HERE’S HOW YOU CAN DO IT: First use the “Links to original image for a Blog or Website” just like you did correctly.

At the end of that link, you’ll see the direct link to your picture. For example, the end of the one of your unfinished patio is:

/image/7362/2003260248398800040_rs.jpg

Change out the end where it says rs.jpg and put in fs.jpg

Doing that will load up the pic you see when you click over to the allyoucanupload site and save us all some bandwidth.

Personal bitch: The image hosting service is flaky. I don’t like it. We’re going to have to look into better options that are easy for you guys to use.

Is this tape available in camo?

Thanks Lik! Would it help if I made pics smaller from my end?

And Sparkle I don’t know, I am going to their webpage tonight and will check. I have only seen it in black. And be warned! If you use this tape on a vehicle or other painted type surface it takes finish with it when you pull it off. I also use Gorilla glue liquid, have fixed counter tops, shoes, books, hell, I used it to fix my sandals which get beat to hell in and out of water and rock climbing and off trail hiking in rough woods, and nothing I have used it on has come apart. Sandals ripped out in other places, just put more on and down the road we go.

This is really good stuff!

Nice. I am familiar with the goo… its for marine applications right? Like gluing your enemies ass to the bottom of your power boat? I think I have repaired sailboat hardware with the goo glue before.
